Taito rivalry
Trails in the Sky SC addresses the relationship between Zin, Bracer Guild receptionist Kilika Rouran and Ouroboros Enforcer No. VIII, Walter. Zin and Walter were originally disciples of Ryuga Rouran, Kilika's father, in the Taito school of martial arts. When a duel between Ryuga and Walter led to the death of their master, the two disciplines went into seperate ways.
Zin and Walter meet again during Ouroboros's execution of the Gospel Plan in Liberl. Now his enemy, Zin learns from Walter that before their duel Ryuga proposed that his his most talented disciple would inherit the Taito school. Walter demanded a match with Zin to determine the successor and after he kept insisting Ryuga proposed a deathmatch with Walter in Zin's stead. Walter's victory meant the death of their master. In turn, Zin informs Walter that Ryuga had already been diagnosed with a malignant tumour and wouldn't have had long to live. Their final battle in Liberl ends with Zin's victory.
Erebonia
During the events of Sen no Kiseki IV -The End of Saga-, Zin has been working together with Fie Claussell. After cancellation of the Great Twilight, Zin participates at the wedding reception of Olivert Reise Arnor and Scherazard Harvey's wedding.

Trivia
- In the PSP version of Trails in the Sky FC, Zin's name was translated as "Zane", a name that was carried over to the Steam version and subsequently Trails in the Sky SC. In April 2017, XSEED Games corrected his name in both Steam versions back to Zin.
