= Story =

Zavath is a fairly well-known researcher in Saerime. He is responsible for the discovery of many ruins and other remnants of Saerime's past. He is usually accompanied by his assistant, Zalos.

While researching the many ruins that lie on The Isle Adrift, Zavath discovered an unexplored location he believed to hold an undiscovered ruin right beneath the ground. He and Zalos quickly began to assemble a team of people to go on an expedition to the dangerous isle in hopes of proving their discovery correct, putting out requests for skilled adventurers to join the trip. The final four adventurers were chosen, and the Expedition Team was established.

Zavath, Zalos and the Expedition Team meet in person for the first time in Talua, the capital of Ashaya. They have their introductions and depart to reconvene the next day for the journey. Zavath and Zalos arrive in the morning on the ship of the Glistening Gems and reveal the mission to the team, before beginning their trip to the Isle Adrift.

Once they arrive, Zavath guides the group to the suspected location and they begin to uncover it. Zavath is proved correct when the team finds an entranceway to a strange temple. The group makes their way through the ancient structure, eventually arriving in a strange chamber that seems to contain a sort of ritual. Zavath and Zalos begin to take notes of what they see in the chamber. However, it is cut short when the orb begins to awaken and they are forced to flee the Isle.

Over the course of the next few months, Zavath would slowly translate the language and texts of the tribe that created the temple to uncover its secrets as the rest of the team destroys the Rift Zones that appear across Saerime. He eventually discovers the purpose of the chamber- a ritual to seal away Oshjin, a god who continually destroys and rebirths the world. He also discovers that Oshjin's power has been causing strange effects around Saerime for ages as a result of the weakening seal. Zavath instructs the team to return to the Isle Adrift and destroy Oshjin.

Zavath is there to greet the party when they awaken in the ritual chamber after defeating Oshjin.

After the destruction of Oshjin, the excavation of the Forgotten Temple continues, leading to a strange discovery about two months later. A strange stone that contains the memories of a previous world- one they previously witnessed in a Rift Zone in Aevum. He calls for the Expedition Team to return to the Isle to share his discovery with them.

= Abilities = While Zavath is intelligent, he holds no capabilities in combat whatsoever and prefers to let Zalos and the Expedition Team handle those kinds of things.
