Z

Z (pronounced "Zed") is the primary antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. He is the leader of the Consuls and is often seen in an old Amphitheater.

Appearance and personality
Z has long white hair with bangs, red eyes and pointy ears. He has purple cracks on his face and has horns made of purple flames on his forehead. Z wears a purplish red Victorian-styled trench coat with silver trims, with pants and boots of the same color.

Z believes in his "Endless Now" philosophy is the best course of action for mankind. Z is also quite manipulative, convincing N to join his cause in exchange of bringing M back to life as a Moebius by telling him to slaughter the people of the City.

Story arc
Z is first seen during a meeting with the other Consuls after D returns from his battle with the party, discussing the flow of time, curious on how the flow will bring the party this time.

After Noah uses Lucky Seven to destroy the Amphitheater, Z reveals his true form as a large face of dark energy which he can mimic specific people such as the party and his other Consuls.

Z is the collective form of Moebius. His Consuls are merely his avatars. However upon being defeated, he expresses hatred of the world.
