Story
Zach appears in the novel, The Evolution of Claire, as a toddler. He plays no major role in the book.
Trip To Jurassic World & Isla Nublar Incident (2015)

After boarding an airplane, Gray and Zach boarded a ferry boat to Masrani Global Corporation's famous dinosaur theme park Jurassic World[2], whose aunt, Claire Dearing, was Senior Assets Manager for.[3] They were supervised by Claire's personal assistant Zara, as Claire was too busy to spend time with her nephews. While there, they got to see many of Jurassic World's attractions, including the Mosasaurus Feeding Show, Underwater Observatory, and the T. rex Kingdom. On the way, in the Monorail, Zach told his brother to stop crying and grow up, seeing as how Gray was in tears after hearing that his mother and father are getting divorced.






Zach and Gray, alongside Owen and Claire, ran out to escape from the Innovation Center. However, their escape was cut off by Blue, Echo, and the newly-arrived Delta, but Owen was able to regain his position as alpha just as the Indominus arrived. Blue refused to kill the humans and was swiped, sending Blue to crash at a nearby wall. This results in Echo and Delta attacking the hybrid with Owen providing covering fire. Hiding in a gift kiosk, Zach heard that Gray said that they needed "more teeth", which motivated Claire to go to Paddock 9.

Personality
Zach initially came across as highly aloof and uninterested towards anything in general, with the exception of attractive teenage girls. He expressed difficulty in showing any emotion beyond indifference, to the point he was unwilling to tell his girlfriend he loved her before he departed for the park. He is calm, level-headed and composed even in life and death situations; like when he and his younger brother Gray were attacked by the Indominus rex, he did not panic. Zach is the far more mature of the two siblings; when he learned from Gray that their parents are getting divorced, although he is upset about it, he knows there is nothing they can do about it. This awareness does not prevent him from behaving overly cold towards Gray, something which deeply saddens their mother. Over the course of the park disaster however, the danger he faces alongside his brother brings out his more caring side, proving he will do anything to protect his little brother no matter what.
Relationships
Gray Mitchell
Gray is Zach's younger brother, but he easily gets annoyed with his childish behavior and often is annoyed with him. He occasionally teases Gray, and was originally unconcerned with his emotional responses. When they were sent to visit their aunt Claire at Jurassic World, Zach doesn't feel too keen to look after Gray at first, but after they barely escape from the Indominus rex, he knows they'll need to rely on each other to survive, and becomes more devoted to protecting his younger brother which benefits both of them.
Zara Young
Though Zara was assigned to look after Zach along with Gray, during his visit, she was unenthusiastic about the task and preferred to discuss her wedding details on her phone, which resulted in them leaving her and nearly getting killed by the Indominus rex. Despite this, Zach was horrified when Zara is devoured by the Mosasaurus.
Claire Dearing
Unlike Gray, Zach seems largely uninterested in spending time his Aunt Claire, and does not care about her inability to spend any time with them. After the containment breach forces the group to stick together however, he slowly begins to grow closer to her.
Owen Grady
Zach was immediately impressed by Owen's skills in handling the Jurassic World disaster. He quickly realized that Owen was the key to their survival, and expressed heavy reluctance to leave his side as the situation deteriorated.
