ZORO/HIKER/SHIMON (Man, early to mid-20s, Jewish) He is an Eastern European Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Israel. He is awkward and eager to fit in and belong. He is quirky, philosophical, and bright, with a pedantic sense of humor. There is an underlying magnetism to him. He plays acoustic guitar and sings.
