He was raised an Ibadi Muslim though he is also highly familiar with Christian tradition through his grandmother and Vulcan mysticism from his time on Vulcan. As an element of culture, his focus of study, he is also well versed in many other religions. | ||
* '''Languages''': Zayar's first language is the Kabyle dialect of Berber (Taqbaylit), though he rarely speaks in it anymore, contributing to his lack of an accent. He also speaks several other dialects of Berber (Tamazight) in addition to Federation Standard and French, though he did not learn these until his early teens. | * '''Languages''': Zayar's first language is the Kabyle dialect of Berber (Taqbaylit), though he rarely speaks in it anymore, contributing to his lack of an accent.

*'''Maternal Family''':Sareia is the only other maternal family that Zayar has met, though considering the vast lifespans of the El-Aurians and propensity many of them have for having many children, Zayar likely has a vast maternal clan he simply does not know about. Jherain might also have other children, though others have never been mentioned and it is known that she was never actually married before she met Mezwar. It is also possible that Jherain and Sareia are all that remains of their family, since many El-Aurians were assimilated or otherwise killed by the Borg. | *'''Maternal Family''':Sareia is the only other maternal family that Zayar has met, though considering the vast lifespans of the El-Aurians and propensity many of them have for having many children, Zayar likely has a vast maternal clan he simply does not know about.

*'''Paternal Family''': Zayar has a reasonably large extended paternal family. His father was one of nine children, with five sisters and three brothers and his grandfather was one of six children and the only son. His grandmother was quite the opposite and the only daughter of four children. His family (his female relatives in particular) form an affectionate, close knit cabal that is as nurturing as it is large. Zayar has many, many cousins and they live all over the New Algeria territory, though a few have gone off-world. Zayar lived with his grandparents for a few years and is reasonably close with them, though they are no longer in regular contact. He visits them every chance he gets though. While he doesn't express it, Zayar often feels like an outside due to his lack of wearing his identity on his sleeve and fervent embracing of Berber identity. Some would pin this on his unpopular mother, but it is as much Zayar's own choice as it is her influence. | *'''Paternal Family''': Zayar has a reasonably large extended paternal family.

**'''Firhun and Kahina Feraoun''': Zayar's paternal grandparents, both Firhun and Kahina were born on Earth, but left while still teenagers to colonize New Numidia. Zayar was named after his grandfather (as a simple sign of respect, though no one has called him that since his infancy) a prominent leader in his community and among the first colonists. Unlike her husband, Kahina is a Chaouia Berber (Išawiyen) from the Aures in eastern Algeria and came from a mixed Christian | **'''Firhun and Kahina Feraoun''': Zayar's paternal grandparents, both Firhun and Kahina were born on Earth, but left while still teenagers to colonize New Numidia. Zayar was named after his grandfather (as a simple sign of respect, though no one has called him that since his infancy) a prominent leader in his community and among the first colonists. Unlike her husband, Kahina is a Chaouia Berber (Išawiyen) from the Aures in eastern Algeria and came from a mixed Muslim-Christian family. Her different ethnic identity, combined with her initial lack of family on the colony, led to her to feel slightly out of place in the very large Feraoun clan. Kahina eventually became a pharmacist while her husband devoted his life to the cause of his people and they raised nine children together. Like her grandson, Kahina is less 'fervent' in her identity and of the two, she is closer to Zayar. | ||

Zayar participated in archaeological and anthropological field work during his time at the Academy and it was here that his incredible ability to recall and record information to exacting detail was first displayed. He was widely regarded as one of the next great Starfleet scholars and he received glowing reviews from his academic professors and mixed understanding-dissatisfied reviews from his instructors. Zayar was even selected for potential in Starfleet Intelligence, though they found his ability as an analyst to be wanting, and his indignant comments at the prospect of such shadowy work. Upon his graduation, he was assigned to Starfleet Science on deferred assignment while he entered graduate school. | Zayar participated in archaeological and anthropological field work during his time at the Academy and it was here that his incredible ability to recall and record information to exacting detail was first displayed.

Zayar was among the first to come into contact with the alien infection that invaded the Constitution, at least he should have been. Along with Lieutenant Phos, Zayar was sequestered for most of the crisis, totally unaware of the events unfolding around them. Eventually they were called upon to help Ensign [[Sivah]] and Lieutenant Faranfey formulate a plan to get rid of the gas creatures that further threatened the ship. While eventually, everyone's efforts came to naught and the gas creatures left the ship, Zayar felt shaken in his inability to do anything during the crisis. This led him to formulate a plan to observe other senior officers to widen his skillset and become a better mission specialist and advisor to Commander Faranster. | Zayar was among the first to come into contact with the alien infection that invaded the Constitution, at least he should have been.

While on shoreleave on Deep Space 285, Zayar was visited by his mother and aunt, in a surprise visit. They later went to the Black Hole bar where Zayar interacted further with Lieutenant Phos, the first time since leaving Sotra. He also met the Ferengi bartender known as Zogi. While they made plans for a picnic, they were interrupted by events that came afterwards. After arriving on the bridge to pick up his journals from Commander Faranster, Zayar was on the bridge as the hostage situation on the station unfolded. He issued the recall order for Constitution personnel on the station and later worked with lieutenant Stoyer to find out just who the hostages were. When it was revealed that the hostage takers were part of the [[Maquis Reborn]] Zayar was able to relay his own passing encounter with the group and what the Federation knew about them. | While on shoreleave on Deep Space 285, Zayar was visited by his mother and aunt, in a surprise visit.
