Zeff was more like a thorny tumbleweed than a real person.

—Jax. [1]

Zeff is a trainer for the Reckoners. He is the chief trainer at the Coop. He dies at the hands of Wingflare.

He wears a cowboy hat and drives an old once-blue pickup truck.[2]

Zeff speaks in a gruff southern accent.[2]

Zeff's skin "looks like old stone" and his eyes are hard and unyielding.[2]

Zeff pushes his trainees to their limits. His favorite form of punishment is "The Post," a post outside the Coop on which trainees are forced balance for hours under the sun.[2] He also uses creative punishments effectively: because Paige and Jax both care deeply about the pain of others, he punishes each of them by instead giving the punishment to the other person.[1]

Zeff has three rules at the coop. Rule 1: no excuses, ever. Rule 2: I am God. You do what I say, and no questions. Rule 3: you are weak.[2] These rules are enforced inconsistently: Jax will occasionally break these rules without receiving punishment. Zeff seems to only bring up Rule 2 when he doesn't want to answer.[1]

Despite having a sense of humor, Zeff rarely shows it, his face staying generally cold and indifferent.[3]

Zeff is unmarried.[1]
