Biography[]
Early Life[]
Zayto was born 65 million years ago on the Planet Rafkon, where he lived a peaceful life with his family & friends, when he grew up he worked to become a member-turned-leader of his planet's organization of Knights alongside his best friend & brother-in-arms Aiyon. Unfortunately, his life would change forever when Rafkon's military council decided to make a machine that's capable of creating a species of indestructible monsters they call Sporix from lava in hopes that they'll defend the planet, but despite Aiyon's objections, Zayto follows through with the plan which ultimately lead to a fight with him, but things got worse from their when he realizes his friend was right that the Sporix proved to be destructive monsters & they began tearing apart the whole planet.
Wanting to fix his mistake, Zayto lead the knights in an all-out war with the Sporix, but the experiment made them completely impossible to destroy & despite their best efforts, the Sporix soon killed everything living on Rafkon with only Zayto, Aiyon & four other knights alive. Unfortunately, the Sporix's lust for destruction was too great & they all soon gained the ability to travel in space & they began roaming the cosmos to destroy whatever they want, prompting Zayto & the survivors to follow them, eventually arriving on Earth during it's prehistoric era just as the Sporix chose to make it their next target.
Fighting alongside the dinosaurs, Zayto & the knights proved to be more than a match for the Sporix, but with every win the Sporix gained even more strength until finally, they achieved the ability of growing giant-sized which made Zayto think they would lose another planet, but just when he thought all hope was lost, ancient beings he heard of called the Morphin Masters' came to help them. With the dinosaur species, they bonded him & his team with both the dinosaurs & the Morphin Grid & they became the world's first incarnation of Power Rangers, with him being bonded to the T-Rex & the red ranger, but when he pointed out about the Sporix's ability to grow, the Morphin Masters gave them powerful zords to give them a fair advantage.
With these newfound powers at their disposal, Zayto & his team began to destroy & capture the Sporix Beasts one-by-one and they contained them inside a special chest to ensure they don't escape. Eventually an army of the remaining Sporix soon surrounded the base they had set up, which forces Zayto to use an unstable ultrazord combination that while is ultimately successful in defeating the Sporix, (almost) the rest of his team perished when the ultrazord self-destructed and only he ejected out in time.
In the aftermath of the battle, Zayto alongside a robot dinosaur named Solon that acted as the team's mechanic tried whatever they could to destroy the Sporix cells, but they ultimately proved to be to strong to be destroyed & they chose to seal them all in their base forever. Eventually, Zayto entered a stasis pod to sleep in until the day came he would be needed again leaving Solon alone in the base which lay under a bunch of dinosaur statues that acted as the his ranger team's link to the Grid & it would be severed in any of the statues were wrecked, as time passed the great wizard Zordon became inspired by Zayto & his team's stories & planned & continuing their legacy of being power rangers that would go on to this day.

Starting a new ranger team[]
65 million years later, with his statue as well as the others now being known as Dinohenge to the town called Pine Ridge, Zayto is finally woken up by Solon when a mysterious warrior clad in a purple dino-themed armor who calls himself Void Knight breaks into the base & takes control of the robot guards. Fortunately, two humans named Amelia and Ollie are also on the scene & fight off the guards, which allows them to bond with the pink & blue dino keys & become power rangers, but Void Knight manages to break the Sporix cage & they all fly away, after properly introducing himself to the teens, Zayto tells them everything about his past & their new mission.
With a new team of rangers, Zayto would lead them in multiple battles against the awakening Sporix while also officially creating a hotline for the people of the town to call them when they see one, sometimes ending with them claiming a Sporix cell while other times with Void Knight getting one for mysterious purposes. Later on, Zayto would get two more new rangers by his side when they prove themselves worthy of being so, which comes in the form of siblings Izzy and Javi Garcia.
On some of their adventures, Zayto & his team would meet another alien mechanic named Mick, who was the inventor to the Ninja Steel rangers, where he learns that the Ninja Nexus Prism had come to aid someone before once again disappearing into deep space. But it was during this time when he & his team briefly fought against a powerful sorcerer named Reaghoul who had resurrected & mind-control the all-powerful emperor of evil Lord Zedd, & while they are successful in beating him, Zedd had been broken free from his mind-control & escapes to finish what he started 3 decades ago & bring the whole universe under his feet.
Reconciling with a old friend[]
Later on, Zayto & the others would encounter a mysterious gold ranger who comes to assist them in defeating the latest Sporix beast before greeting Zayto & teleporting away, realizing who he the Ranger is, he is too shocked to answer any of the team's questions so he teleports back to the base.
Cosmic Fury[]
After his death following the battle with the Nemesis Beast, Zayto was revived as Zenith by the Morphin Masters and given the temporary powers of the Dino Fury Zenith Ranger. After his Dinohenge statue is destroyed, he gains the powers of the Cosmic Fury Zenith Ranger when he returns to the Cosmic Fury Rangers until he evolved into a Morphin Master to finally defeat Lord Zedd. With his mortal life over, Zayto left Earth to join his fellow Morphin Masters in the Morphin Grid
