Biography --
Zakir was sixteen when he moved from New Delhi to New York City hoping to find a richer more full-filling life there. He hoped to become a famous rapper. He grew up the oldest son of a Muslim and Hindu couple, with little prospect in life other than continue his father's business. His uncle - a friend of his father rather than his actual uncle - told him stories of America, of New York City, and the American Dream.
He got into crime because he needed funds and connections to gain his fame. He's known for making songs in which he fluently meshes languages and meanings together, rapping under the alias Baagee. However, a lot of his time is spent translating for Dead Hand or using his understanding of languages to decipher coded messages.
He's been releasing songs steadily during the past five years, and has been an official associate of Dead Hand for three years.
Timeline
Headcanons --
He's a polyglot; he speaks multiple languages and easily picks up new ones. Currently he's learning Portuguese, Mandarin & Bahasa Malay. He's however always interested in learning more.
He addresses anyone his age with either habibi/habibti ( ‘my dear’ or 'my love’ in Arabic ) or bhai/bhen ( 'brother’/'sister' in Hindi / Indic language ), and anyone older than him as auntie or uncle. Does this consistently and with respect.
Despite his mastery of languages, Zakir still has a distinct accent when speaking in Russian, English or Spanish.
He produces his own music.
He's a romantic, friendly and charming, and a little afraid of violence. Will always portray the role of a diplomat in a conflict.
Zakir was raised in a Muslim and Hindu household, though neither him nor his siblings got much of a choice which religion they wanted to follow. As a result he still follows a lot of rules from Islam and participates in all its religious days, including Ramadan.
He doesn't drink or smoke - though he on occasion uses the drugs available at El Anhelo, and has his way to say why those aren't as bad.
He has an augmentation in his eyes, installed just before he moved to the United States by a street engineer. Because it was a prototype, he's had to get it checked out several times. It essentially works as a video camera: he can zoom in, zoom out, rewind, slow down, and speed up. As well as choose to save certain moments to his phone to view later. Because his eyes are more sensitive now, he wears sunglasses or tinted glasses almost all the time.

Some slang Zakir might use and its meaning:
Yaar: friend/buddy/dude, addressing someone.
Arre yaar: addressing someone while expressing disappointment, surprise, or frustration.
Mashallah: 'God has willed it'
Inshallah: 'if God wills'
Wallah: 'I swear', said very often, presume Zakir never lies when he says this, as it's a sin.

Alhamdulillah: 'Praise to God'
Subhanallah: 'Glory to God'

Bollywood songs from Late 90s and early-mid 2000s were something else, especially the Original ones. They had this vibe that really transported you to the song itself.
Listening to Chudi jo khanke is being in the hostel room
Listening to Bhool Bhulaiya track is finding yourself in that castle
Listening to Ashiqui mein Teri is being in China town at midnight
Listening to Dhoom again is seeing the warehouse in front of your eyes
why am I saying this? Lets just say that I went for the dimly lit club in Chakna chakna and didn’t realise that it has been an hour of me teleporting from aesthetic to aesthetic until I was already in the rainy streets from Laga Prem Rog😌
A taxi winds up on the mountain road of Kasaol. It’s been a long journey from Nizamuddin railway station; a peaceful drive to the hotel would be nice. But the cabbie is in the mood for songs of bitter love. “Ab tere bin ji lenge hum. Zahar zindagi kaa pi lenge hum” Kumar Sanu's nasal voice playing on a scratchy tape recorder fills the car.
"I can learn to live without you. Life would be like drinking poison but what's the big deal if one heart breaks,"
Says this hit song from Aashiqui. It seems churlish to tell him to stop playing the music because-- it hits you suddenly-- that you don't really want peace. You want sookun, a feeling of love. And who better to grant that, other than Sanu da's heartfelt high notes.
An imaginary anecdote starts to weave relentlessly in your mind. As the driver switches songs to Bol Na Halke Halke. Your brain paces back to a gorgeous Preity Zinta, mistaking Abhishek Bachchan for a coolie, filling your heart with a flawless warmth.
The tape recorder booms again. This time, with the ever so magical voice of Mohit Chauhan in Tum se hi. Your consciousness reverts to the moments of Aditya and Geet, pouring out their hearts in rain.
The classic Falguni Pathak melody, Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye, makes your heart leap out of you in elation. The entire dance of Ayesha Takia with the lady in the painting evokes nostalgia which you can’t get over.
Dil Dooba blares next on the tape, Oh you cannot contain anymore! You break into crooked hip hop steps on the back seat, trying to imitate Akshay Kumar and Aishwariya Rai’s jhakaas dance moves from Khakee.
