Zato-1 (GUILTY GEAR)

A Spanish member of the powerful Assassins Guild, Zato-1 allowed himself to become the host of a symbiotic creature named Eddie (a possible reference to Marvel Comics' Venom or Iron Maiden Mascot Eddie) in exchange for his sight. Because of this, Zato-1 was able to take control of his shadow, and use it as a weapon to gain great power. With this power, he made himself leader of the Assassins Guild. However, as his body weakened, Eddie was able to take more and more control until Zato-1's death at the hands of Millia Rage. Zato was "killed off" after the death of his seiyuu Kaneto Shiozawa. Zato despises all women, due to past connections with Millia Rage. His name is likely a reference to Zatoichi, the blind swordsman/assassin
