Zain

"You must be X... My name is Zain! You have no chance of beating me!"

- Zain

Zain (ザイン) is one of the Shadow Hunters from Mega Man Xtreme. He works with Techno to the hack the Mother Computer system in the Maverick Hunter base, along with his partner Geemel.

Characteristics
Zain is a quiet and proud individual. He shows no interest in hacking the Mother Computer, and seems to only care about fighting.

Zain is a heavily-armored yellow Reploid who wields a large sword. In battle he performs jumping slashes, spin attacks, and defensive blocks. His weakness is Shotgun Ice, but his deceptive speed and short attack animations still make him a difficult opponent.

Mega Man Xtreme
Zain is first seen when Geemel and Techno are discussing X's progress, and he volunteers to seek him out for a fight. The player can fight against him by finding a secret room in Flame Stag's stage, but he escapes after the battle.

Zain next appears in the Sigma Stage on the way to the Mother Computer's core. He fights X, but is destroyed in the ensuing battle - having died within the Mother Computer, his "soul" is deleted. His defeat inspires Geemel to seek revenge on the Maverick Hunters.
