Im sure that he is a better character that one who is just manipulated by a machine. |
Who has tried to justify his actions simply out of affection on this forum? Not that you have to agree with the reasons presented for his actions, especially toward the end of the series, but taking a bit of time to read into them shows there was calculation behind all of them.
He wasn't manipulated by a machine, but it's not far-fetched to think the Zero System didn't act as a guide to an extent, the same way it did for Treize and Wufei.
Up until joining the White Fang, Zechs had been part of OZ without an identity or cause. He wanted revenge for the destruction for the Sanc Kingdom but his battles had no real meaning (leading him to develop an "aesthetic sense in war"). He touches on this in Episode 16 when he commends Heero and company for fighting for the colonies. Fighting to protect what Relena was building and ultimately being too late to save the Sanc Kingdom from collapsing again left him without purpose again.
He realized that he could use the White Fang on his own but the Zero System likely played a small factor as well.
