Most here think he had some knowledge of it. The Tattoos point to it. As well as lack of fear, and wanting, of being bite. At this point it can safely say that he knew of it. Point to the Zombies in the first episode that were scared and burned as well. Scars. Not Cuts. That meant there was a large group of them that had been hurt and heal already. We know they don't have super healing powers due to Angel and Riley seeing one with a broken ankle (Although Ink's Hands looked ok even after we know Burt shot him). That meant a large group covered in Scar was infected and ran in a pack? Just some random large group of scarred people were turned at random? Also the RPG in Burts Shop that had a buyer near Z-Day. Someone knew something. I think most ppl hear belive that Ink had some prior knowledge. No way he just happened to find Symbols that control Zombies.

That being said... I don't think he started Z-Day. Mainly due to it being World Wide. This late in the game I don't think KC is going to introduce another major party with 3 chapters left. To go "And then there were the secret Cabal of World Leaders..." would just be bad storytelling and handwaving. To get a world wide secret release of Z-Gas that was planned would take countless millions of Dollars. That meant that a "Secret Cabal of World Leaders" would have been needed for that to happen. The Reort that Kimmet had made it sound like it happened World Wide pretty close together. Not a "It started here and Spread" The whole USA was gone within a couple days and the Military Bases around a week. Kimmet even stated "Outbreaks started in XYZ" and named some places. Never said spread. KC chooses his words very carefully.

The next "clue" to Ink didn't start it is based on what Characters has said. When they saw the tape they said "Well he couldn't have started it". Not once have the stated they thought he did. Michael said he was behind the attacks, but no one said "I wonder is that Tattoo'd guy started this thing" ever, but when they saw the tape they said "Couldn't have been him". I think that was a clue from KC. Just tooodd of a comment on a subject they never even talked about before in the show.
