Zach Shpak (assigned Zofia Shpak at birth) was a young man participating in the Nuskom Hunt. He had had a pretty hard life and got into the sphere of influence of Victor Vituska who was not aware that he was a trans man.

During Session 2, he entered the zone with Vituska to access a cache containing a strange white silk glove. They reached the cache as it was accidentally found by Clark Dubois and Gaia Dynko; in the resulting fight, Vituska became aware of that Zach was (in his words) a deviant, and slit his throat.

He did not properly die, because Clark interceded and froze his body at the moment of death.

During Session 3 his body was brought outside the zone by Clark and Gaia and left in the care of the Military doctors (and one very confused scientist).

During Session 5 Maelle Kurimoto learned that the body had raised the attention of the Paranormal Foundation and they were about to dissappear it, so they contacted the Zwosta Hunters to steal the body and send it to Zhongguo.

By Session 22, they decided that Claire had a good enough grasp in her gift that she could manage to unfreeze him, and managed to find an specialist from The Merciful capable of saving his life if unfrozen. Three agents from the paranormal foundation tried to steal the whole train where they were bringing him back, but they were stopped.

Zach was finally unfrozen and his life saved at the beginning of Session 24 by the combined efforts of Claire, Merciful Ariyadna and a full valtshoran medical team.
