Zachary Jefford

Zachary Jefford is the protagonist of The Charred Lands.

Background
Zachary Jefford was born in Haven to Jack and Susan Jefford. He was their third child and second son. Unlike his brother, Zach never saw himself as a fighter, always preferring to read one of the few books within Haven than to fire a weapon.

He saw very few harsh realities of the world outside of his safe homestead, apart from a particularly agressive assault by a group of raiders on Haven, during which Zach witnessed Kylie Jefford die before his eyes. The sight of her lifeless corpse haunted him forever after.
