Zaephre

Zaephre is an Elite Hero who constructed the TAM. Zaephre was constructed with a new hero design in mind, one that was more compact but delivered just as much power. This was the beginning of the Elite Hero design, which was only reserved for experienced and willing heroes during Operation Enhance.

History
Zaephre was originally constructed long before the massive battle of Makuhero City. He was built with the Elite Hero design, which allowed faster, stronger, and more compact heroes to be constructed. This system was eventually used to upgrade the original heroes of the Alpha 1 team (Stormer, Furno, Rocka, Breez, Evo etc.) for compatibility with their mechsuits for the Invasion from Below. While the rifts were beginning to open, Zaephre was in the middle of constructing the TAM. Eventually, Zaephre finished the Mark 13 TAM and used it to combat the minifigures in the Battle for Makuhero. Zaephre and the others managed to barely defend the city from the minifigures, so the Hero Factory knew that they needed to construct more mechsuits. The suits developed were eventually used to combat the beasts that emerged from the mines during the Invasion from Below.

Other Information
After the battle for Makuhero had occurred, Zaephre had teamed with an elite hero named Cryus. Cryus was given a mechsuit and the two currently serve for the Zeta 1 team.
