Zayto is a Rafkonian from the planet Rafkon who led the Ancient Dino Fury Rangers 65 million years ago as the Dino Fury Red Ranger. In the present day, he returns with the modern Cosmic Fury Rangers as Cosmic Fury Zenith Ranger.
After his death following the battle with the Nemesis Beast, Zayto was revived as Zenith by the Morphin Masters until he evolved into a Morphin Master to finally defeat Lord Zedd. With his mortal life over, Zayto left Earth to join his fellow Morphin Masters in the Morphin Grid.
Zayto was born on the planet Rafkon, after becoming a Knight, he received a pendant from his mother as a gift, with her telling him to never give up when all things seem hopeless. Lost Signal Zayto was the leader of the Knights of Rafkon, the main military force of his planet. Destination Dinohenge Sometime during his early days as a knight, he befriended Aiyon, who became his sparring partner and closest comrade. With the forces of evil approaching the planet, the military council of Rafkon decided to create Sporix Beasts in order to expand Rafkon's defenses. When the council asked Zayto about his opinion on the project, he trusted the judgement of his superiors despite Aiyon asking him to stop the project. Ancient History (Dino Fury)
Just as the council activated the machine to create the Sporix, Aiyon tried to destroy the machine, but Zayto stopped him, starting a fight that ultimately ended his friendship with Aiyon. Unfortunately, Aiyon was proven right as the unleashed Sporix Beasts attacked their planet. During the battle to defend their home Zayto led the Knights of Rafkon against the evil beasts, though they were not strong enough. In the end, their home planet was destroyed by the same monsters their people created and unleashed upon. Ancient History (Dino Fury)
When Zayto, Aiyon and their teammates traveled to Earth where Sporix invaded, they teamed up with dinosaurs to defeat the Sporix Beasts. Sometime after the Sporix Wars, they were contacted by the Morphin Masters, who were able to fuse their dinosaur allies with them and turn them into the first Dino Fury Power Rangers. While the previous Dino Fury Rangers did managed to defeat and capture the Sporix Beasts by locking them in a chest, the majority of Zayto's teammates perished and two of the Dino Fury Keys were lost when the Knights that wielded them fell in the war. Both Zayto and Aiyon went into stasis, with Zayto's pod being submerged underwater, separating himself from Aiyon. The Green Morphin Master then appeared in front of him, giving him a task while also warning him that without him, Lord Zedd will reign again sometime after his defeat by Zordon's Energy Wave. Destination Dinohenge
65 million years later, Aiyon is awakened from his stasis by the Ninja Nexus Prism. After Slyther and Mucus found his stasis pod, they are surprised to see him awake inside and escaped while he went out to save his friends from Tidemare. He would then teleport away after defeating the Sporix Beast.

Limited Life/Dependence on Energy: Due to the method by which he was revived, Zayto's abilities became linked with his life force, as using his abilities eventually brought him to the cusp of death.

Notes[]
Zayto came to Earth with his teammates 65 million years ago and were given the powers of the dinosaurs by the Morphin Masters. Since his team were granted the powers to become Rangers, this makes Zayto, Aiyon, and their deceased teammates the earliest known Power Rangers in the franchise and the first Power Rangers of Earth, which would also make Zayto the first active Red Ranger.
The Cosmic Fury Zenith Ranger's color scheme is champagne. According to producer Simon Bennett, Zayto was intended to be designated as a White Ranger. but Hasbro rejected this idea due to concerns about a black character becoming the White Ranger. An alternative Titanium color scheme was suggested and rejected. Eventually, the champagne color was approved by Hasbro, and the character given the label "Zenith."
