Some indeterminate time prior to the game's events, Zygaena had killed Yukie's master, prompting her to avenge him. Zygaena later traveled to Los Angeles, where he would then meet his demise at the hands of Yukie, and the fledgling. He also seemed to respect Ming Xiao, as he announced his presence in her city.

Trivia[]
- Altough he's refered in-game as a demon, Hengeyōkai are not demons but one of many shapeshifting beings known as Fera in the World of Darkness as well as the Garou, commonly known as werewolves.
- Though never mentioned in the game, the article "Bloodlines Primer" by Onyx Path Publishing states that he's of the Same-Bito breed.[1]
- His name might be a reference to the smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena) species.
- As a Ventrue or Tremere, the player will be able to attempt to dominate Zygaena during conversation. This will, however, not affect him whatsoever.
- As a Malkavian, the player will be able to attempt to use Dementation on Zygaena during conversation. Like dominate, this does not appear to affect him.
