Rich and ruthless, Zachary Powers is a shipping tycoon. He is a hot blooded man, he can love and hate with the same passion and that is something life thought him. 

Hate towards Jason Colby goes back to when his father, a poor fisherman, killed himself over some unsuccessful business for which Zach holds Jason's father responsible. That is the reason why Zach wants to destroy Jason's oil business. He starts plotting to sink the Carrington-Colby pipeline project and ruin the already tense relationship between Jason and Blake Carrington. Zach even uses his nephew Sean to seduce Jason's daughter Bliss to get information on the Colby's.

His big triumph is making love with Sable, Jason's wife, on his yacht. When Jason confesses that he is Jeff Colby's father from an affair with Francesca, Sable runs to Zach's arms, and he is there waiting. Jason eventually becomes aware of the affair, and there is a serious confrontation on Zach's yacht, in which Sable is slightly injured. Zach fought desperately to keep Sable for a long time, but their relationship eventually died.

Zachary is a capable but also ruthless businessman and would walk over dead bodies to achieve his purpose. He is a man who knows a lot about the people while people know little, very little, about him.
