Biography

• The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner

In The Maze Runner, Zart is first introduced as the Keeper of the Track-hoes, but also the only willing Glader to answer any question, despite the fact that he is not really talkative.

He always appears at Gatherings, and was the one to lead the Banishment of Ben. In Thomas' Gathering for what to do with him, he supports Thomas for saving Minho and Alby in the Maze, thinking that he should not be punished. On the second day of the Griever attacks, he fell victim and didn't make it back.

Film

The Maze Runner

In the Maze Runner film, Zart went into the Maze with Thomas, Minho, Frypan, and Winston to investigate a dead Griever. Later on, when the Grievers attacked the Glade, Zart hid in the corn fields with Thomas, Teresa, Jack, Mike, and Billy. A Griever grabbed Zart, pushing him to the ground. Thomas tried to grab Zart, but the Griever threw him away deeper into the cornfield, presumably killing him, as he is not seen again.

The Death Cure

In the Death Cure film, Zart's name was engraved on the rock along the names of victims from the war with WCKD.
