Zeno Antithikara is a character and secondary antagonist in Just Cause 3.
Personal life[]
According to himself in The Watcher on The Wall, he was always an unpopular and ugly person. Di Ravello likewise gives a similar description in his tapes, claiming he is sycophantic, desperate for attention and despised by his co-workers.
Career[]
He's a scientist in the field of Bavarium weapons development. His colleague Dimah describes him as having an adequate IQ. According to himself in The Watcher on The Wall, he wanted to develop Bavarium for civilian uses, but Di Ravello wanted weapons.
At one point, Zeno was also responsible for forging documents that allowed Di Ravello to start a coup, which resulted in president Dante's death before a proper transition of power could occur. Dante's rival, Rosa Manuela, was to succeed him, but escaped Di Ravello's clutches in time.
In the mission Turncoat, he reveals he was part of "Di Ravello's Bavarium Corps" and that he wants to defect. He agreed to defect, because Dimah had "made very specific offers of wealth and land". He was angry at her for tricking him, because he received no reward. He also expresses disappointment at Rico and Mario being the only people The Rebellion send to protect him. They subsequently deliver him to a rebel farm anyway.
In the mission Rico and the Rose, Zeno's presence was immediately questioned by Rosa, who also revealed his involvement with Di Ravello. He seemed to be a double agent. Mario threatens to kill him, but Rosa has him arrested instead. Later Di Ravello sends the Black Hand to free him. He attempts to escape in a helicopter during The Watcher on The Wall but is killed by Rico.
Trivia[]
- As seen in the "The art of Just Cause 3" book that came with the collectors edition of the game, his original design included a long coat. The rest of him looked the same.
- In Dimah's lab at Grotta Contrabandero there are multiple books with the title: "Zeno and the art of Bavarium tank maintenance", which suggests that Zeno wrote this book and must have been working at the factory where they were built. This is also a reference to the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
- He is one of 5 characters in the Just Cause game series to wear glasses. The others are Salvador Mendoza, Garland King, Javi Huerta, Simón Valencia and Emerson Miller. Otto Kleiner has a monocle.
- His name could be a reference to the Antikythera mechanism, a Greek analog computer used for predicting astronomical positions.
