Honestly with Zarek, I wanted someone who (much like some of the comic book/fantasy characters I enjoy) was equipped with the abilities that let him move between 'tiers' (as I've labeled them in my mind). Someone who might be able to throw down in a street fight but also could fight against the crazy fantastical creatures that live in the game world. It's something I usually end up doing in every setting honestly.
Given my love for martial arts when the classes and their lore came out, something about pugilist (which was originally given to us as a bruiser for the Platinum Mirage) becoming monk just grabbed me and gave my concept (Red Bull) wings. Add in a hefty dose of inspiration from watching the various benders in action (go go Avatar) and voila. When he does use those sorts of abilities Zarek always has some kind of wind flavoring to go with them though it's been rare as (up till recently) he hasn't had anyone to actually show him how to unlock all that awesome chakra and do that on a regular basis...which means I get to play with the ole hidden power trope now and then.Â
Stir it all together in a blender and out popped Zarek the guy from Ul'dah who likes to fight and can but still is the underdog now and then.
