I think Zacharia is a good person and character. This is because, firstly, the way that Charlotte described him. For example, she said he had a sweet voice and a nice smile. Those descriptions can imply that he may seem like he is a kind and caring person. Another reason I think Zacharia is a good person and character is because he was being kind to Charlotte, he did things to try to make her feel better and comfortable like offering her tea. Another thing is that he wants her to be safe. He told her about things that could happen on the ship she was sailing. He even went out of his way to give Charlotte a knife for her protection, which means he is kind enough to care about her safety. Readers can tell that Zacharia is so far a friendly character and can infer that he is not a bad person.

I hope this was helpful, good luck! ·ω·

Answer 2

I know i'm late, but you're welcome!

Zachariah. He is the chef of the Seahawk, the surgeon, and the only black man on the ship. He is about 50 years old, is originally from Africa, can't read, and knows very little about Christianity. He is also as it turns out the closest ally of Charlotte on the Seahawk. Zachariah gives a dirk to Charlotte for protection and sews a miniature set of sailor clothes for her. It turns out that he's one of the nicest, if not the nicest, guys on the ships. His bond with the child passenger starts very soon. To all the other passengers, he is very much friendly. To any of the passengers, it might not look like all that, however, he tries.
