History:
Zanza is the bastard son of a war hero and a priestess from the southern water isles. Though his father died in the war sometime before giving birth, and their relationship was looked down upon by his mother family for being with an outsider, his mother relocated to Republic city to start life anew in the land of promised opportunity.

The first few years in republic city were tough, young Zanza got into many fights and disciplinary problems in the slum district they resided in at the time , which didn't help his mother's condition. She contracted an illness which she passed from. Following his mother's death, Zanza got placed into the orphanage system. There wasn't much care to be found there, but he learned how to fend on his own in his time there. More importantly he learned the hustle.

Until the age of 15 where he stepped out on his own in the streets of Republic. Even then, he was a bit experienced for his age and passed for an adult.

He found a living partaking in the underworld as a fighter for the blood games, a type of illicit "anything goes" bending competition, it was in the underground fighting scene that he was found by a renown bounty hunter who saw Zenza as a worthy prospect. He was taken in by the bounty hunter and learned the tricks of the trade thereafter.
