Biography

As the younger son of the celebrated Commander William Adama and Caroline, Zak felt pressured to join the Colonial Fleet and prove himself to his father.cite episode| title=Miniseries, Parts 1 and 2| series=Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)] During his training as a Viper pilot, he fell in love with his flight instructor Kara Thrace, and the two became engaged.cite episode| episodelink=Act of Contrition (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Act of Contrition| series=Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)] Although he never knew it, Zak botched several maneuvers during the last part of his basic flight course, and only passed because of his relationship with Kara.

After graduating flight school, Zak was killed when he crashed his Viper during his first solo flight, creating a deep rift between his father and brother (Lee), the latter believing parental pressure sent Zak to his death.

Although Zak's death strained the relationship between William and Lee Adama, it ultimately strengthened their bond, making the elder Adama determined not to lose his surviving son; when Kara Thrace was missing in action, Lee questioned how long his father would search for him, were he missing, to which William Adama responded, "if it were you... we'd never leave."cite episode| episodelink=You Can't Go Home Again (Battlestar Galactica)| title=You Can't Go Home Again| series=Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]
