"Yeah, they took Zart and a few others."
Chuck, telling Thomas Zart's fate in The Maze Runner.

Zart was the Keeper of the Track-hoes/Gardeners, and was one of the first Keepers that Thomas worked with. Sometimes, the other Gladers call him Zart the Fart. It is possible that he was named after the genius composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Maze Runner[]

In The Maze Runner, Zart was first introduced not only as the Keeper of the Track-hoes, but also as the only Glader willing to answer any question, despite the fact that he was not really talkative. He always appeared at the Gatherings, and was the one to lead the Banishment of Ben. At Thomas' Gathering for what to do with him, he supported Thomas for saving Minho and Alby in the Maze, thinking that he should not be punished. On one of the days Thomas was unconscious, he fell victim to the Griever Attack.

In the The Maze Runner, Zart was present when Thomas arrived in the Glade. When Thomas started to run, he tripped and fell, Zart, along with many other Gladers, laughed at this.

Later, when Gally stopped Thomas from walking into the Maze, Zart joined Gally and the other Gladers in stopping Thomas from walking into the Maze.

At night, at the bonfire, Zart, along with the other Gladers, watched Thomas and Gally wrestled before the latter sent the former to the ground, causing him to remember his name.

The next day, Ben, having been stung by a Griever, attacked Thomas. Zart, along with the other Gladers, managed to get Ben off Thomas.

At some point, Zart, with the other keepers, voted whether to banish Ben or not from the Glade. Later, Ben was banished from the Glade.

The next day, Zart, along with the other Gladers, watched Thomas run into the Maze to help Minho and Alby, who have gone into the Maze to retrace Ben's steps, when Alby got stung by a Griever.

Later, Zart, along with Thomas, Minho, Frypan, and Winston, went into the Maze to investigate a recently discovered dead Griever.

At night, when the Grievers attacked the Glade, Zart, along with Thomas, Teresa, Jack, Mike, and Billy, hid in the cornfields. A Griever grabbed Zart, yanking him to the ground. Thomas tried to grab Zart, but the Griever threw him away deeper into the cornfield, killing him, as he was not seen again.
