Zesenip lives in the tents near Sakhmet City. He misses being able to go outside, as sandstorms, monsters and bandits are stopping him from doing so.
The desert may be hot and dry, but you never really realize how much you miss it until you can't go there.
As most of Neoquest II takes place within a computer simulation, it is unclear if Zesenip exists in the real Neopia.
