'''Safiyah''' was a [[human]] woman who lived during the [[Dark Age]], working as a travelling surgeon. She was the lover of [[Zavala]] and the mother of their adopted son, [[Hakim]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olw8P7NcgOY '''Season of the Haunted cutscene showing Zavala's past''']</ref>

==Biography==
Before the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Last City]] existed, Zavala was the protege of [[Saladin Forge|Lord Saladin]]. One day, Safiyah approached Lord Saladin's gates to offer her skills in exchange for shelter. Acceptance of her offer granted her residence in close proximity with Zavala, whom at first she was frustrated and angered by, but eventually grew to respect, admire and love.

During a [[Fallen]] raid, an infant child was orphaned, and Saifyah and Zavala chose to adopt him as their own son. They named him [[Hakim]]. Together, they relocated and raised him in a small village where her sister resides.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Triage#ESTHESIA|Triage - ESTHESIA]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Jumpship|Jumpship lore]]: [[Tymbal Lucidae]]''</ref> 

One fateful day, Zavala was targeted by a group of [[Vandal]]s, believing him to owe a death debt for the slaying of their [[Captain]]. Hakim had followed his father into battle and noticed the Fallen advancing towards Zavala, and placed himself between them. [[Kethiks, the Yet-Proven]] mocked him, before fatally wounding him with his spear<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Hollow Denial]]''</ref>. Safiyah could not save him, and he died in her arms.

Unable to cope with the grief caused by the loss of their son, Safiyah and Zavala parted ways, with Zavala returning to Lord Saladin and Safiyah travelling once again. She found love after Zavala and had a daughter but unlike Zavala, who as a Lightbearer would live on and become a leading figure in the Last City, Safiyah would pass away. Zavala would keep track of Safiyah's descendants until they joined the Last City and would often visit her grave, continuing in asking for her forgiveness.
