That was the purpose of ZERO, after all. Zechs was also considered to be a heartless bastard as well. During the war, he had betrayed his allies and committed treason against his own military for higher ideals. He held his own sister under guard - for her own safety, but under duress - and was willing and able to kill his closest two friends. Few people who knew him well on his world actually liked the man.
"Debitt assumes I am like any of the Noah's other friends. He is known for having human associates. They will not discover there is a deeper connection." Zechs' tone was becoming more stained.

Zechs' face was still calm, unnaturally so. But his eyes were shut, concentrating on maintaining that demeanor.
