Personality

General Behavior/Personality:
Zacharias most definitely comes off as a pretentious snot who always gets his way or fumes until he does. But that's the way he likes it.

Zach does whatever he wants to get what he wants. And more often than not that means he's a general arse to anyone and everyone he meets. Megan Jones is the one exception to this rule, she doesn't let him act like a prat around her. Zach very much has a sense of entitlement to the things he has and the things he aspires to - partially due to the way his father was always pushing him toward big things as he was growing up. So it's only natural that Zach gets everything he wants, and it's only natural that Zach already has such a good position within his department. These are just the things that come naturally to those in his family.

Strengths: Manipulation, Zach has a good sense of what things he can use to his advantage, And he can be quite charming when the situation calls for it.
Weaknesses: Actual people skills, he's completely and utterly self-centered and can't see beyond himself in most situations.
Quirks/Habits: He's always pushing a hand through his hair when he's talking, and he'll pinch the bridge of his nose when he's frustrated.
Goals/Dreams: Zacharias wants to work his way up in the Ministry, to get himself into the Wizengamot or maybe even become the Minister one day
Hobbies: Zach is what we call a workaholic, he is constantly keeping himself busy with work in order to advance his careere and when he's not at work Zacharias likes to enjoy the company of men and women.

Family History:
The Smith family is relatively new when it comes to the more powerful Wizarding families. As such several generations have grown up with a chip on their shoulders, about their place in the wizarding world. Henry Smith's father was one of the last of those generations, he raised his son with no doubt as to their position within the wizarding world. Henry was raised with a great deal of entitlement just as he raised his son Zacharias.

Zach was given anything and everything he wanted as a boy and his father made sure that he knew he was destined for great things. Zach was always told one day he would work in the ministry in a high power position as was expected of someone from their family status, whether he wanted that sort of position or not. It was made perfectly clear to Zach from an early age that his family position rested solely on his shoulders and he would do everything in his power to further that position.

Zacharias has fulfilled his family duties quite well thus far and has no plans for the near or distant future to do anything to tarnish his or his family's reputations.

(Social/Romantic/Sexual)

Close Friendships: Megan Jones, Ernie MacMillan
Known Enemies: Anyone who gets in the way of his goals. Zach never did get over the many threats and hexes he received from several members of the Weasley family, so he's not quite fond of them either.

Fun Stuff

Despite that whole hexing incident years ago Zacharias would still make an exception to his general no Weasleys rule if Ginny ever showed interest.

Zacharias doesn't feel the least bit badly about what he did during the evacuation before the Battle at Hogwarts - he puts far greater importance on his own life than anyone elses and he was just doing what he needed to in order to keep himself alive and well - he's not stupid.

Zacharias is nearly positive his father would have a coniption if he knew he was shagging blokes - but Zach just takes that as one of life's little pleasures.

It is not safe to talk to Zach in the mornings until he's had at least 2 cups of coffee - he started drinking the stuff after he tried it on a whim and now he can't start his day without it.

Zach doesn't believe in second dates, or first for that matter, but occasionally you can't get away with a shag without the first.
