ZACH SLATER'S HISTORY
Zach Slater came to Pine Valley when Michael Cambias was murdered - the two were brothers. Zach had grown up under the same tyrannical father and faked his own death to get away from having to become the next in line to run the empire. Alexander Cambias Jr. became Zach Slater with the help of his younger brother.
Earning his own way, Zach built an empire of Casinos, and it was in one that he met Maureen Gorman and fell in love. She was suffering from amnesia and had no idea that she was really Maria Santos Grey, a prominent doctor and wife of Edmund, and mother of two children.
Her romance with Zach was cut short when Dr. David Hayward discovered her, and knowing who she was, lied and told her that the police were looking for her because of a murder she committed. Zach assumed his Maureen was lost to him forever when David hustled her off to a hiding place.
When Erica Kane came to stay at his casino, Zach learned that Maureen was in Pine Valley. While he was looking for suspects in his brother's murder, the found that his Maureen, Maria Grey, had regained her memory and returned home. Zach opened a casino just outside of town and eventually made his presence known to her. He wanted to resume their relationship, and although she felt an attraction, she stayed loyal to Edmund. Edmund had been paralyzed and was in a wheelchair and needed her. The eventual truth led to a strong hatred between the two men.
Zach's belief that Bianca was too kind to kill his brother led him to suspect Erica or Kendall. At the grand opening of the Casino, he masterminded a murder mystery game similar to Michael's case and watched the participants on secret cameras. Ryan Lavery ended up being shot by someone. It was during this time that Zach told Maria that he was Michael's brother.
Maria continued to meet Zach in secret, and when he broke down in Maria's arms over accepting that the mild-mannered brother he remembered was in actuality a monster, Erica was there to overhear. She told Edmund, who in turn became furious with his wife's infidelity. Edmund filed for divorce, but Maria, still wanting to make her marriage work, asked Zach to step aside.
Reeling from losing Maria, yet again, he was shocked when Ethan Ramsey came to town claiming to be his son. DNA proved his claim, but Zach refused to share the information, wanting to keep his son safe. Eventually, Zach confessed to his real identity and cleared Ethan from allegations that he was the one who shot Ryan.
Still determined to get his son out of town, Zach tried to get Kendall to break up with Ethan, but they only grew closer. He tried to implicate her in the poisoning of Greenlee, but failed. When Bianca's presumed-dead baby, fathered by his brother, Michael, turned up alive, Zach joined the rest of Pine Valley in their elation, but his joy was short lived when Ethan had his own DNA tested against Miranda and was proven to be a Cambias.
Maria still fought her feelings for Zach and reconciled with Edmund. Zach was just about to provide her with a tape that showed her husband had lied about his paralysis when Ethan came into the barn at Wildwind and interrupted his conversation with Edmund. A fight ensued, and Ethan knocked Zach unconscious. The barn caught fire and Ethan saved Zach, but Edmund perished. Ethan lied to the police, saying he had witnessed Zach killing Edmund.
Maria didn't buy the story about Edmund being able to walk. Instead she believed that Zach killed her husband out of jealousy. Feeling he had nothing more to lose, Zach confessed. He was set free from jail when Lily Montgomery came forward and named the real killer. Maria apologized, but kissed Zach goodbye, telling him she needed to focus on mending fences with her children.
Ethan assumed control of Cambias Enterprises and shut down Zach's casino, and Zach sued to regain the helm. Kendall broke up with Ethan, disgusted with his lies, and Zach proposed to her as a way to get back at his son. The two married in secret, and when Ethan tried to woo Kendall back, Zach took delight in letting him know she was his new bride.
The look of pain on his son's face caused Zach to call off his lawsuit to regain Cambias. He offered to release Kendall from the obligatory marriage, but she chose to remain wed. They eventually developed true feelings for one another until Kendall learned that Zach was responsible for the blackout that had destroyed Greenlee's fertilized eggs. In turn Kendall had herself implanted with Ryan's donated sperm to give the pair a child. Kendall and Zach divorced because of his deceit.
An explosion at the Mardi Gras ball claimed the life of Ethan. Zach was left reeling from losing a chance to ever get to know his son, and encountered Dixie Martin at the cemetery. He became involved in her quest to find her daughter, Kate by helping her get information from Dr. Greg Madden, the man who had stole the child from her. During their quest, Zach learned that the same doctor was treating Kendall and trying to convince her to sign away her child.
Zach swept Kendall away from Madden's pregnancy clinic on an isolated island, and on the romantic boat ride he had planned for her, the two remarried. Life looked grand until Kendall and her unborn child were nearly killed in JR Chandler's attempt to murder his wife, Babe. While Erica and Ryan stood by her bedside, deciding that her life was more important than the child's, Zach waited for them to leave and then barricaded himself inside the hospital room, vowing to save the child, knowing that would be Kendall's wish.
Spike was born early, thrived and came home with Zach and Kendall. Zach was charged by the police for firing a weapon, but freed when he contributed to a judge's campaign fund. Kendall was very jealous of Zach's involvement with Dixie, but when she learned that the story involved Greg Madden, after what Kendall had been through, she understood.
Greg Madden turned up dead,and Dixie and Zach were arrested for his murder, but freed when Tad Martin concocted a story that cast doubt on their guilt. Instead of being able to enjoy a respite from stress, Zach started having strange images of a woman flashing through his mind. Shortly after Simone Torres was found dead at Fusion holding a similar flower to the one in his 'vision'.
The grieving had only just begun for Simone when Erin Lavery was discovered dead on Fusion's rooftop. The police believe that a serial killer is targeting the women of Fusion, but Zach is determined to make sure that Kendall doesn't become the next victim.
