Zachary Hale Comstock



Zachary Hale Comstock is a character in BioShock Infinite. He is the leader of The Founders, the ultra-nationalist party that founded the floating city of Columbia. Within Columbia, Comstock is known as a prophet, earning the nickname "Father Comstock", as well as the "Hero of the Battle of Wounded Knee". Comstock was once married, until sometime before Friday, February 13, 1903, his wife was killed by Daisy Fitzroy.

Elizabeth has asked Booker DeWitt to help her find Comstock, as she says that he is the only person that could help her control her powers. This may be because Elizabeth could possibly be Comstock's daughter, as noted on this propaganda poster warning: The seed of the Prophet shall sit the throne and drown in flame the mountains of man.  Then again, Cornelius Slate mentions that Comstock is a false Prophet and a liar, such as his claimed heroics at the Battle of Wounded Knee for example. As a result, the duo must travel through Columbia to reach Comstock House, where he resides.

Behind The Scenes

 * Although his appearance shows that he is much older with white hair and a full beard, in early gameplay footage, he appeared on political banners as middle-aged, with darker hair and clean shaven (as seen in the gallery above).
