 Don Diego de la Vega, adopts the secret identity of Zorro, the masked avenger. He is a mestizo born in the 1790s to a white father, Don Alejandro de la Vega, and his wife, a Native American warrior named Toypurnia, who was given the name Regina when she married Alejandro.
Diego learned his acrobatics and fencing skills in Spain, under the
tutelage of a great swordmaster. Remembering the injustices he saw as a
child, he returned to his family's California hacienda. Now he lives as
both a nobleman and a vigilante, fighting imperialist oppression. He is
backed by the brotherhood of Zorro, a secret society called the Knights
of the Broken Thorn. He falls in love with a beautiful young widow,
Esmeralda Sanchez de Moncada. She arrives in California with her sister
Mariangel Sanchez de Moncada and her father, Fernando Sanchez de
Moncada, the newly appointed governor - and villainous dictator - of
Los Angeles.
The hero must challenge a host of evildoers, branding them with the
distinctive Zorro “Z” – made from three swift scratches. The story arc
focuses on mysteries concerning Esmeralda's long-lost mother and the
man whose atrocities changed Diego's life forever. Their resolution
threatens to shake the Spanish Empire.
