Abilities[]
As a human he had genius level I.Q on par with william birkin, however his life before had profound effects on his mind, fracturing it slightly, he began exhibiting low level Split personality disorder in order to cope, however apart from a voice in his head no other mental problems were present. other than his I.Q and mindset he was a regular human with moderate amount of strength.
After the T.A.R infusion his mental state became extremely erratic and both sides of his psyche voiced their opinions, Ceros other side held all of his suppressed emotions and wished to destroy Raz beliving himself to be the perfect specimien of his research, and to kill all who helped him, including his stepdaughter, however with the two sides arguing over this as Cero still cared deeply for Annie, his power was limited and the comparison to Raz is still fully untested
