Moloch von Zinzer was a soldier and mechanic for Duke D'Omas until Klaus defeated the Duke. With no more employer, Moloch and his brothers, who were crewing the walking gunboat Vienna 707, decided to head to Paris. Unfortunately, Bangladesh DuPree found them as they crossed the Wastelands and blew up the gunboat. Moloch and his brother Omar were two of the few survivors. They wandered from town to town until they came to Beetleburg, where Omar robbed Agatha Clay of her locket. The locket apparently killed Omar, and Moloch went to find Agatha and confront her, but Klaus captured them both. Thinking that Moloch was the spark responsible for the Search Engine and that Agatha was his girlfriend, Klaus took them both to Castle Wulfenbach.
Moloch tried to pretend to be a spark, while seeking an opportunity to escape. Agatha assisted him until he threatened to hurt her in order to buy himself more time. Agatha kicked him out of "his" lab and refused to continue pretending to be his girlfriend, endangering his deception. The Baron's son, Gilgamesh decided to help him, however, and Moloch was able to fool the Baron until the activation of a Hive Engine outed Agatha as a spark.
Moloch was sentenced to Castle Heterodyne as a result of his deception. Gil gave him a suicide pill to take, saying it was the only thing he could do to help, but Moloch has apparently not taken it. He is currently assigned to the prisoners' kitchen; he can't cook, but at least he's learned a few tricks for dealing with its little habits. He appears to have a massive crush on fellow inmate Sanaa Wilhelm.
He may have been seen in the Future, working with Agatha to find the survivors of the Vienna. If so, the first steps may already have been taken now that Agatha has arrived on the scene and their past disagreements have been... er... reconciled.
[edit] The Works
Moloch von Zinzer is depicted on his The Works card rather dubiously reading the BEGINNERS'S GUIDE to building a MONSTER. The card "details" mention Soldier and Mechanic.
