Character history
The youngest in a large Michigan family with three brothers and four sisters, Zack is a prodigy, a genius with I.Q. well above 163 with the eidetic memory it should be. According to his character bio on DVD for Season 1, Zack graduated college at the age of 16 years. It is revealed in the episode "The Boy in the Time Capsule" that Zack is physically bullied roughly all through high school by other boys. In "A Boy in a Tree," he heard saying he had "no friends" in high school and endured endless physical and emotional abuse through his school life. In addition, it was revealed that Zack is an outstanding singer. At the beginning of the show, he has started two doctors - one in Forensic Anthropology, a screen resolution featured in the episode "Judas on a Pole", another in Applied Engineering, the settlement called in "The Killer in the Concrete".
His specialty, like Dr. Brennan, is in the analysis of the remains, mainly identifying the cause of death and weapons from signs on bone remnants. It is usually his job to remove meat from the bone, a process known as maseration . Because of his remarkable intelligence, he has extensive extensive knowledge of many specialties in Jefferson's lab.
Zack's best friend is Jack Hodgins. Although Hodgins and Zack initially appeared to be roommates, it was later revealed that he rented the apartment to Hodgins's garage. Zack also carpools with Hodgins because he can not drive a car or ride a bike. He once commented to Booth that, if Booth shared Zack's knowledge of Structural Engineering, he would be afraid to drive too (Season 1 "The Man on Death Row"). In The Man in the Bear, Zack and Hodgins compete to get the affection of a beautiful lady of introduction until they finally realize that she may be bisexual or homosexual, when she shows interest in forensic artist Angela Montenegro.
The episode near the end of Season 1 reveals Zack's colleagues, especially Dr. Goodman, feeling he's becoming too comfortable as Dr.'s assistant. Brennan and therefore did not complete his work to his doctoral level to avoid moving to a new position. Goodman and Hodgins conspired to make Zack uncomfortable in his position to motivate him to complete his studies, thus encouraging him to fulfill his potential beyond just an assistant.
Just before he would finish his doctorate, Zack asked Jeffers new forensic chief, Dr. Camille Saroyan, if she can have a job working in Jeffersonian. He replied he could not put him in court to testify because people would not take him seriously. Zack then goes to ask Angela for fashion suggestions, and she gives him a complete makeover that includes new haircuts and a suit. After completing his doctorate and getting a makeover from Angela, Zack again asks Cam for the job; and he gave it to him, saying "Who am I to break the team?"
At the end of Season 2, Zack received a request from the President's office to send to Iraq. What his job there was not revealed, and he just told Hodgins and Booth about it. He hesitated and asked Booth for advice because Booth "knows more about duty and honor than anyone I know". Zack also declined an offer to become the Best Person in Hodgins and Angela's marriage if he decides to go to Iraq and be killed, because he does not want Hodgins's memories of marriage tainted with grief, but Zack is later seen at the wedding. It is revealed in Episode 1 of Season 3 that Zack has just returned from a three-month stint in Iraq, having returned early because he "failed to assimilate."
In "The Pain in the Heart", the last episode of Season 3, Zack received third-degree burns and massive tissue damage in both hands after the explosion in the laboratory. It was later revealed that he worked as an apprentice of Gormogon, a cannibal chain killer, and the explosion was designed as a diversion so that Gormogon could enter the laboratory and steal back the silver skeleton. Zack's weaker personality is easily manipulated by Gormogon so he believes his belief system is undeniable, even as far as breaking down the lobbyist bones killed by another Gormogon apprentice among the 10,000 skeletons in the Jeffersonian bone storage space called Limbo. However, Zack still retains loyalty to his friends. As Brennan pointed out, he was willing to injure himself to keep Hodgins safe. He handed Gormogon's home location after Brennan made him realize that the logic was wrong.
At the end of the episode, prosecutor Caroline Julian broke down Zack's deal. He pleaded guilty to killing a lobbyist and declared "Non-compos mentis", thereby making him a mental asylum rather than to prison.
Zack is no longer a regular character on the show, but series maker Hart Hanson says he may be a recurring character to advise the team with "certain talents we can use in the 'Hannibal Lecter' way."
The Episode "The Perfect Pieces in the Purple Pond" reveals Zack received psychological treatment from a Dr. FBI psychologist. Lance Sweets. It also shows at least Hodgins and Angela both have made contact with Zack during his cage. Hodgins was shown carrying a mathematical puzzle to solve. In a session with Sweets, Zack pleaded guilty for killing the lobbyist but claimed he was not really crazy, arguing he committed a crime for seemingly logical reasons at the time. "I was wrong, not delusional," he said. Sweets believes Zack should feel more guilty for killing the lobbyist and less about having been taken by the Gormogon rhetoric.
Towards the end of the episode, Zack escapes from the institution. It was revealed he could run away anytime but did not feel the need to do so until then. After helping his colleagues solve the case, he is willing to return to the institution with Sweets. When he returned to the mental hospital, Zack told Sweets that, when he helped Gormogon find a lobbyist, he did not actually stab him. In other words, Zack believes he's killing the lobbyist; but, from a legal standpoint, he is only considered an accessory or co-conspirator. Sweets insists Zack changes his story, but Zack refuses. He's afraid, if his secret is out, he'll find himself in jail, where he sure did very badly. He reminds Sweets, as Zack's therapist, he should not reveal his secret because, if Sweets does, he will violate doctors-patient confidentiality. The episode closes with Zack behind the bars at the institution, and Sweets keeps his secret.
In Season 4 finals, Zack is considered a suspect when a man is killed at a popular nightclub owned by Booth and Brennan. Zack is described by Vincent Nigel-Murray as "the type of idiot who goes to jail for murder he does not commit," indicating that, to some extent, Booth knows Zack is innocent. At the end of the episode, it is shown that it is actually a dream of an alternate timeline that Booth had when unconscious and part of a new book written by Brennan.
Zack is also back in the 100th episode as a flashback to Booth and Brennan's first case together.
Later, Hodgins said that Zack would be on "forever" asylum, hinting that Zack would be in a mental hospital permanently and would never be released into the general public. Also, in the episode "The He in the She," Hodgins tells Vincent that Zack will be locked up for the rest of his life.
After eight years absent from the show, Zack was mentioned in season 11 "The Movie in the Making." The episode was "mockumentary" in The Jeffersonian and his partnership with the FBI. When the film crew starts asking Hodgins about Zack, Hodgins becomes visibly shaken by questions. In "The Monster in the Closet," a serial killer has been found and named The Puppeteer, because of the nature of the crime and how the killer will hang the victim from the cable, and use it as a puppet.
In the final of season 11, "The Nightmare in the Nightmare," a dry corpse was found in the abandoned warehouse, the clothes worn by the victim were the same outfit that Dr. Brennan a few months earlier. A mixtape was left with the body, the songs on the tape were from a printed song in Michigan, where Zack grew up. Over the past few weeks, Dr. Brennan had experienced a vivid nightmare about a burning attacker, in one dream, Wendell brought Brennan his coffee, something Zack used to do for his mentor. In the hands of Wendell's dream was badly burned. Dr. Brennan starts to get messy and damaged and sees a therapist to help interpret his dream. The therapist made Brennan realize that the assailant was someone he knew but would not accept who it was. Upon returning to the lab, Brennan called the team because everyone was not present in the lab. Tim told him that they were leaving because there was an email that should have been sent by Dr. Brennan, the email was sent by The Puppeteer. While on the phone with The Puppeteer team went into the room and disconnected the call. Booth takes a therapist's note and begins to decipher it. Back in the lab, the team discussed all the clues about The Puppeteer. They realize that the dream of Wendell is a symbol for someone who has worked in the lab. Tim became silent, Booth realized who The Puppeteer, Cam stated, "oh no, that's impossible." Booth then races to the hospital where Zack lives and finds that Zack has run away. Later, Brennan was awakened by someone who told him to wake up. Brennan states "Zack?", And Zack says "Dr. Brennan is happy to see you again, you and me, we have so much to talk about."
The Season 12 premier of Bones concludes a mystery about Zack being formed in Season 11 finals. Zack had brought Brennan into the Jeffersonian dungeon (inside the Gormogon dome built there in Season 3), but he did this in order to protect him from The Puppeteer and to reveal the truth about him. Booth catches Zack and he is taken into custody. It is revealed that after the death of Lance Sweets, Zack endangers himself resulting in a large scar on his forehead and minor brain damage that sometimes causes blackouts. After being allowed to consult the Dalmati case evidence file with Brennan, he concludes that he is guilty of a crime (having committed them while unconscious) and wants to return to the mental institution that is his home. In a surprising incident, the team at Jeffersonian learned that it was Zack's doctors from the institute, Dr Mihir Roshan, who had committed murder and set up a marionettes framework. Booth arrives at the institution on time to save Zack. Dr Roshan intends to poison Zack, but Zack has mastered it but can not find the strength to kill him. Booth shot Roshan, and Zack survived. After Zack brought this incident, he concluded he could not have committed a murder on Gormogon's orders, and pleaded not guilty to Brennan and Booth. This convinces them to re-examine the evidence, and the episode ends with the idea that Zack can become free from future institutions. In "The Flaw in the Saw", Hodgins works to find evidence to free Zack and when he finds something, Cam is afraid that Hodgins planted it to free Zack and refused to consider it. After Hodgins tells him to throw it away, Cam can not force himself to do so and passes the evidence that Hodgins submitted to him. In "The Steal in the Wheels", the Jeffersonian team can find the corpse of Gormogon's former intern, the real killer and match the blood on it with a lobbyist who allegedly killed Zack. In "The Day in the Life", Zack runs before the judge for his appeal. Based on this new evidence, Zack was acquitted of murder charges but did not help the known killer. As a result, he had to complete the remaining thirteen months of his sentence on the charge before he was released. While Brennan regrets they can not release him, Zack accepts this as thirteen months nothing compared to the life sentence he faced earlier.

Characterization
Despite his intelligence, Zack is unsure of himself and although he has emerged with important insights that are important to some team cases, he can not forcibly express his opinion to Dr. Brennan. This may be because of romantic feelings toward her. When he found the professor of Forensic Anthropology Temperance himself to be his lover, Zack repeatedly wondered if he could enter into a relationship similar to Dr. Brennan. He quickly disappeared from the idea by his colleagues. His inability to capture pop culture references or jokes is often a source of comedy in the show. Other characters, especially Booth and Hodgins, are often annoyed or turned off by their lack of social skills. Hodgins once referred to it as "Vulcan boring" out of annoyance.
Zack seems to have an on and off-again relationship with "Naomi, in Paleontology", although the clues in his first season were not satisfied with his sexual prowess. In the third season, they accompany each other to the Halloween Jeffersonian Institute annual party, agreeing to dress like a cow (Naomi in front, Zack at the back) ("The Mummy in the Maze") and in "The Parts in the Sum of the Whole "he talks about her again. Zack has no problem making inappropriate comments about the personal life of others, and has asked Agent Booth to seek advice on sex and women, a request Booth has characteristically rejected; and at one point threatened to " pull out his gun and shoot [Zack] between the eyes " if he kept asking those questions to him. Angela answered her question once, (on one occasion even recommending her to "reap the benefits of [her] sexual wisdom"), and Hodgins gave her the pocket-sized Kama Sutra to help her out , revealed in season three finals ("The Pain in the Heart").
Very little is known about his childhood. In the episode "The Wannabe in the Weeds" of the third season, it was discovered that Zack was singing in class during his childhood as a way for his parents to help integrate him socially. Although it did not seem to work, he showed his talent when Hodgins doubted it. He has fond memories of receiving his first microscope ("The Girl with the Curl"), and when he was six, he had a pirate blindfold ("The Man with the Bone"). He says he used to play horses as a child and has Michael Jackson gloves. He is also known to have attended private high school ("A Boy in the Tree"). His interests include aircraft models ("The Killer in the Concrete"), watching basketball ("The Soldier on the Grave"), and science fiction:
In the episode "The Killer in the Concrete", Booth is on the phone with Zack and Dr. Brennan while searching for "Icepick" at an aircraft fan meeting model. Unaware of Zack's interest in the plane, Booth commented that every "strange plane" in the area was at the event, and Zack corrected him by saying fans preferred to be called "pilots." Zack mentions forensic anthropology is just one field of his studies, the other is an applied technique, and he is very proficient in the field of practical aeronautics.
As seen in the episode "The Man in the Fallout Shelter" Zack has a big family and really appreciates them, commenting the real meaning of Christmas is " Brother, sister, niece, niece; 40 people who love you and happy to see you . "Also in the first season, he reveals to Dr. Brennan used his vacation time to visit his family. Though he did not enjoy this visit, he left because they loved him ("The Man in the Wall").
Even in asylum, Zack still seems to have some connection with his old colleagues, Hodgins occasionally visits him with puzzles for him to solve and Sweets has established a diagnosis of Zack (though he can not reveal that Zack is not actually < i> 'crazy' because of doctors/patient confidentiality); Booth's dream sequence in "The End in the Beginning" implies that Booth is aware to some extent that Zack is innocent, but this is never explored in the real world. However, the final 11 season states that Booth may have some contact with Zack in the seasons after his departure, as he knows regularly at the institution he is in, and knows exactly where his room is.
