Biography
Zavala is a former student of Lord Saladin, and fought in the Battle of the Twilight Gap. Later he was a competitor in the Crucible.[2] As Commander, multiple factions have approached him to try and gain his support. In particular, he was approached by New Monarchy via Executor Hideo, and was offered to be made king of the City if he had joined their faction, but he refused,[3] knowing the past about the City's monarchy (see quote below). He also turned away Arach Jalaal when he pleaded with him for support.[4] However, he did vouch for Future War Cult's inclusion into the Consensus, considering their focus on combat more useful to the City than dangerous.[5]
Zavala's role in the Vanguard is the overall Defense of the City and military strategy against enemy forces, both on Earth and abroad. He tasks Guardians with preemptive a strike against the House of Devils by killing Sepiks Prime, as well as recapturing Freehold by eliminating the Cabal chain of command.
