A SeeD candidate studying at Balamb Garden, Zell is known as a hot-headed young man who lets passion guide his actions, with reason taking a back seat. Though small in stature, his relentless physical training has turned him into a true dynamo.

Character profile.

Zell is a playable character in Final Fantasy Record Keeper who can be recruited as the First Time Reward for completing Galbadia Garden, Part 3 on the Classic difficulty in the realm FF VIII of the core dungeons. He could also be recruited during the Challenge Event Gunblade of the Sorceress as the First Time Reward for completing the event's stage SeeD Field Exam, Part 3 in In the Garden track. He has also appeared in A Meeting Beyond Time and Broken Chains as a supporting character.

Zell joins a long line of Monks that includes Josef, Refia, Sabin, and Tifa before him. Like a typical Monk, his HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed are his greatest assets, adding up to big firepower from a small package. His growth curve doesn't quite match Galuf's, but Zell has the potential to unleash devastating multiple-hit strikes where few others have yet to do the same or better.
