Personality ;; Zasshu is a patient, calm, and collected wolf, however can be aggressive when necessary. He is very wise, friendly, and rather playful, and is a caring and loving leader towards his pack. He loved his mate Kiime and their sons dearly. He was killed by a bear at six years of age.

Backstory ;; At a very young age, Zasshu parents were killed by rival wolves in a pack raid. Zasshu and his two brothers and one sister, however, all managed to survive, and Zasshu stayed with his siblings and what was left of his pack until he was old enough to venture out on his own. He left his pack once he was fully grown, and while roaming the lands night and day as a lone wolf, he was attacked by another lone wolf, where he aquired the scars on his jaw and under his eye. He later found a mate by the name of Kiime, and they both formed a new pack high up in the mountains. One day Kiime suddenly fell ill and passed away, leaving Zasshu to lead the pack they had formed on his own as a sudden famine struck, thereby limiting the pack's food and water sources.

Relation to Balto ;; After becoming the new alpha of Nava's pack and leading them across the Great Water, Aleu moved her pack into Zasshu's territory in northwestern Russia and began hunting his pack's prey. Some of the wolves in Aleu's pack even attacked Zasshu and some of his pack members. Zasshu decided to take action and confront Aleu in a secret meeting, Alpha to Alpha. Zasshu gave Aleu two choices - leave his land peacefully with her pack, or he and his pack will fight them for it. For undetermined reasons, Aleu refused to leave, and she and Zasshu's pack declared war for the territory.
