After the death of his predecessor at the hands of Zavala, Kethiks was promoted to the rank of Captain. Duty-bound to avenge their death, he was instructed by the House of Devils to hunt down and kill the Guardian. Kethiks himself also had more personal reasons to go after Zavala, as he had lost many of his friends to him. He also sought the glory of taking the life of Lightbearer, just as his father, [[Ykriis]], had done. Through this, he could prove that he was indeed worthy of the position he had been granted due to circumstances. | After the death of his predecessor at the hands of Zavala, Kethiks was promoted to the rank of Captain.

With a raiding party of [[Vandal]]s and [[Dreg]]s under his command, the Captain launched his attack on the village in the dead of night, hoping to catch his prey of guard. Despite this, his forces were met with stiff resistance from the townsfolk. Kethiks fought his way through the villagers as he searched for the Guardian leading the defensive effort. When he found Zavala fending off the incoming attackers, the Captain charged towards his target, throwing a woman into a burning wooden structure as he made his forward. Before he could reach the Lightbearer, however, he intercepted by Hakim, armed with a curved blade. Laughing at the young man's defiance, the Eliksni disarmed his opponent effortlessly and began toying with him half-heartedly thrusting at him with his [[Arc Spear]], before impaling Hakim and pinning him to the ground. Kethiks looked back to meet the eyes of the enraged Zavala, [[Light]] crackling within him. The Captain raised his spear and charged at the Guardian, only to instead be killed by the Lightbearer he had set out to murder.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Hollow Denial]]''</ref> | ||

Blaming himself for what happened to him, he begged his wife, Safiyah, for forgiveness, despite her knowing he was not to blame. Unfortunately, the grief wore far too heavily on the Zavala, and they eventually decided to go back to the lives they left behind. Safiyah would later find a new partner and have a daughter. After she died, Zavala would mourn the loss of his former wife, once again begging her for forgiveness. He would continue to do this for generations afterward, keeping his grief a secret and never forgiving himself for what happened. | ||
