Zero was born in the year of the Dog and is 181cm[1] (5'11) in height.

Personality
As a child, Zero was a quiet and gentle boy, to the point where Ichiru questioned whether he was even capable of being a hunter. However after Shizuka's attack, Zero developed a strong distrust of vampires. Zero is a tsundere character, he sports a scary aura that makes most of the Day Class students wary of him. However, his innate nature is to protect humans, his cold attitude towards those he loves is likely to push them away and keep everyone at a distance.
Following his full awakening into a vampire, Zero harbors a great disgust towards himself because of inability to control his hunger and reliance on Yuki. His dismal outlook on his future and fear of what he might do causes him to give up and he almost kills himself. He fights to ignore his hunger to the point of starvation rather than go to Yuki. He tries to help Yuki resolve her own problems and then impresses upon her that its okay for her to burden and use him because he owes her.
Zero is very hostile to the Night Class vampires when they threaten him, however he adopts his standard tsundere attitude when engaging them one on one while retaining a level of politeness. Zero expresses a great deal of anger toward purebloods because of their mechanisms in his life in particular, he extends this hostility toward Yuki as well after she turns into a pureblood. In spite of this, his sense of duty override his issues ensuring his reliability and trustworthiness.

Zero and Yuki have a very close relationship with one another. Having to live with her and Kaien when his parents were killed, Yuki has been the comforting and maternal caretaker of his. Soon, he grew to love her and even supported her relationship with Kaname. Zero feels extreme guilt when he bites Yuki, saying that he hates himself for doing it. After Yuki is finally revealed that she is a Pureblood and sister of Kaname, he broke ties with her and his hate to Purebloods is the visible emotion he shows to Yuki.

But no matter what there is an undying love deep within him for Yuki. She left with kaname at the end of the series leaving him alone. will they see each other again? and if so will zero kill her when they meet again?
