When [[Mad King's War]] began in 645, Zihark was with the Toha vigilantes. [[Ike]] and the [[Greil Mercenaries]] came to Toha to escape by ship to Begnion, but [[Ranulf]] accidentally revealed himself as a laguz, much to the shock and anger of the townspeople. Upon the news that laguz had been spotted in town, Zihark tried to assist their escape. He met up with the laguz, [[Lethe]] or [[Mordecai]], and chose to help their cause by joining them.<ref name="lethe">{{Cite|'''Zihark:''' Ah!<br>'''Lethe:''' Grrr! Flee.
