Zak is a minor characters who appear in the animated series The New Adventures of He-Man.
Zak was part of an underground resistance to overthrow the robotic Protectons on the planet Makkina. Together with Emar, his base of operations was secret underground meeting place from which they could strike against their enemies. When Emar introduced members of the Galactic Guardians from Primus to the resistance, Zaks first instinct was to destroy the Priman robot Gleep, but could be stopped before he did it any harm.
Three dangerous bariers had to be passed in order to reach the Master Control Robot, but He-Man managed to get through the first two with ease and with a little help from Gleep, also passed the third.
It turned out the Master Control Robot had duplicated himself. Each one of it's smaller versions could control all of the machines on Makkina. He-Man was captured in a static cage by the Protectons. The Evil Mutants grabbed one of the duplicate brains and escaped in their Mothership, but Emar assured the Guardians that the Master Control Robot's brains were all programmed with several safeguards that protected it from being used by third parties. He-Man managed to break free from his electronic prison and asked Emar and Zak to reprogram the Master Control Robot.
The Guardians kept fighting the Protectons until Emar and Zak managed to disconnect the Master Control, causing all the robots to lose their power. Zak wanted to destroy them all, but Emar vowed to rebuild and reprogram them so that this time, the Makkinaks would remain in charge.
