Zon Noret (d. 177 BG) was a Ginaz Mercenary, and father of 15 children, including the famed Jool Noret. Zon was a veteran Mercenary, with sinew body over hard bones, with long yellow-grey hair. Despite the Ginaz culture discouraging parents from having close contact with their (numerous) offspring, Zon was an exception, especially noticing his son Jool Noret's talent and skill, viewing Jool as his successor.
Zon achieved the highest accolades among the Mercenaries, including a position in the Council of Veterans.
While battling on the front lines in the Battle of Peridot Colony, Zon had been burned and injured (on board a besieged machine ship). While recuperating, Zon re-trained on Ginaz, with the robotic sensei Chirox. Later that same year Zon also participated in the Battle of IV Anbus. Zon died fighting Chirox, due to his son Jool forgotting to remove a program that allowed Chirox to fight as well as his opponent, which was set to his son's level (greater than Zon's own). Nonetheless, Zon was still able to fend off Chirox for a considerable amount of time being getting slain. As he lay dying, Zon made it clear that he bore no grudge against Chirox, and insisted that Jool forgive the robotic sensei.
