Zak Saturday is the 11-year-old son of Doc and Drew Saturday who is eager to jump right away into every adventure. A product of his environment, Zak seeks adventure at every turn, which is easily satisfied sejak his cryptid-researching family. Zak has an unorthodox upbringing that has taken him around the world and placed him in the face of danger since the hari he was born.
Zak was born the same tahun the Kur Stone was found (specifically he was conceived shortly before the discovery). Zak has a special psychic ability to connect with cryptids, allowing him to control their actions to an extent (which later turns out to be something more). Tamer cryptids seem to trust him instinctively, and even fiercer ones can tell that Zak is different from other humans. It was also suggested sejak Ulraj in The Underworld Bride that his power is only affective if the cryptid Zak is trying to influence at least partially wants to do what Zak is trying to get it to do. But in Kur Rising, the Antarica creature obiously didn't want to be defeated and spend an other millinium in Antartica but Zak was able to controled that giant cryptid even when he hadn't awaked as Kur yet, this may hinted how powerfull Kur really is
Ancient artifacts seem to respond to Zak and allow him to amplify his ability. Zak's primary weapon is The Claw, a combination staff/grappling hook. The hook is a three-fingered claw called The Hand of Tsul'kulu which acts as a focusing device for Zak's powers. His power can be amplified if Zak is at a "mystic hotspot", a place infused with magical energy atau inside the Antarctic Cryptid, but after he uses his power at a mystical hot spot, he becomes drained and possibly exhausted. He also seems to have the ability to make a wind-like aura around his body in Cryptid vs. Cryptid and an orange energy ball in Kur Rising.
He is of mixed-race heritage since he has a black father and a white mother. He has some appearance of both, like dark skin from his father and Caucasian features and a white streak of hair like his mother. Zak cares deeply for his cryptid pets and even refer to them as his brothers and sisters. This corresponds to his bond with cryptids and possibly influences his cryptid powers. Zak also seems to be stronger than a normal child his age, as he was able to climb a radio tower carrying a full grown man in The Vengence of Hibagon and gets back up immediately after being thrown against a vent in Black Monday. During the course of the show, his strength has improved. Also in Black Monday, Zak was able to hold his own against the three Monday cryptids and even slammed Zon to the ground, while in the saat episode, The Kur Stone:Part Two, no one was a physical match for her.
Zak has also fused with his brothers because of a machine created sejak former workers in a lab on Honey Island. Because of this, he temporarily gain Fiskerton and Komodo's abilities. This version of Zak has trouble thinking because of multiple brains. After this experience Zak says that the three of them have gotten even closer and are now "DNA brothers." The machine was later destroyed sejak the Saturdays
In The Kur Guardian, he and Doyle help Fiskerton find out lebih abut his Lemurian heritage because Zak is the only one Fisk trusts (Doyle only knows because he was there when he found out).
In Shadows of Lemuria, Zak found out Fisk was making trident-like shapes. Fiskerton told Zak he kept it secret because he was "scared for him." Later, when he was sleeping, Argost planted a Neural Parasite on Fiskerton. Zak uses his mighty cryptid powers to help him resist. Fisk tears the house apart to create a divining rod that will tell where Kur will be revealed- which will be in Antartica.
Despite the fact that the madman V.V. Argost is his enemy, pirior to "Kur Rising", he was a peminat of his tunjuk Weird World, and kept episodes on the main computer.
In the season two finale, Zak and his family reach Antarctica. Unfortunately for them, Argost has also reached there and awakened the creature which is believed to be Kur. Argost managed to get to the beast's brain and control in from within. Zak then gets the idea to also enter the cryptid's body and fight Argost for control of "Kur". His parents give him their weapons so he could have as much power as possible in the battle with Argost. Fiskerton follows Zak inside and aids him in the fight. Zak taps into his full power to defeat Argost and knock the Antarctic Cryptid unconscious. Doyle then uses the Kur-sensing artifact to pasti what they just defeated is Kur; although, once Zak and Fiskerton are expelled from the body, the artifact was actually sensing Zak's presence. Everyone, including Zak, is shocked sejak this.
For awhile is was believed that if Kur was ever unleashed, Zak would be the only one with the power to stop it. However, in the season two finale Kur Rising, after Zak defeated the creature that was believed to be Kur, the Kur-sensing artifact Doyle was repairing glowed not in the creature's presence, but in Zak's. The show's creator, jay Stephens has revealed that Zak is Kur reincarnated.
In season 3 episode 1: Kur part 1, The Secret Scientists discover Zak is Kur. The Family soon become fugitives. While The Secret Scientists are tracking him, Zak realizes this puts him and his family in danger. To make matters worse, the Nagas are also after Zak into leading them and the cryptids to a new era. Meanwhile, Doyle has a run-in with Leonidas van Rook (who had just had his buisness overtaken sejak Abby) when looking for V.V. Argost.
It was eventually learned that the Kur stone Doc and Drew discovered before Zak's birth contained Kur's essence. During the accident when it was uncovered, the energy left the stone and found a new form as a host, namely, the unborn Zak, because as Rani Nagi, said, it was a much lebih dangerous form between the worlds of humans and cryptids. Despite the Saturdays trying to keep the truth about Zak's nature secret, the other Secret Scientists found out and began pursuing Zak, forcing the Saturdays to go on the run. It is not yet revealed if Zak's true destiny is to be the destructor of humanity.
The kur stone is what held the essence of kur. Zak isn't the original kur. Kur has inhabited many bodies begore. He wanted a half human half cryptid body this time. It would be even lebih dangerous than the cryptid bodies.
