'''Commander Zavala''' is an [[Awoken]] [[Guardian]] who serves as the [[Vanguard]] of the [[Titan]] class, and overall Vanguard Commander of [[The Last City]]. Stern and uncompromising, Zavala's only goal is to safeguard humanity within the Last City against all threats. He oversees all Guardian military operations, and led the Guardians to victory in both the [[Taken War]] and [[Red War]]. In the aftermath of both conflicts, Zavala has become increasingly isolated and reluctant to commit Guardians to conflicts outside of the Last City.

While the City was preparing for an assault by the combined forces of all the Fallen houses, tensions between the Speaker and [[Vanguard]] Commander [[Osiris]] reached a breaking point. Zavala, having recently become the Titan Vanguard by replacing [[Saint-14]], attended a meeting of the [[Consensus]] without Osiris present. When the [[New Monarchy]] representative protested that Osiris was absent, Zavala announced that Ikora would be filling in for Osiris. The Speaker asked her to formally become the new Warlock Vanguard, and she agreed, and then proclaimed that he was exiling Osiris from the Last City. Zavala was then named as the new Vanguard Commander by the Speaker.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/14/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Curse of Foresight]]''</ref>

When Zavala learned that the Hunter [[Anastasia Bray]] was investigating her past life, which Guardians were discouraged from doing, he confronted her in the Tower's plaza. He told her that in addition to the inappropriateness of keeping her previous life's name, he believed her research was causing her to neglect her duties to the Last City. Ana argued that her past was useful to the Last City and may be why the Traveler brought her back, but Zavala countered that she was brought back to be a Guardian and fight for the future. Their argument was interrupted by the Hunter Vanguard [[Andal Brask]], who informed them that the Fallen were assaulting [[Twilight Gap]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/6/22)''', ''[[Destiny: Warmind (comic)]]'', ''Chapter 3'', ''Page 2''</ref>

After the Vanguard learned that the [[Hive]] were not a myth and remained on Earth and the [[Moon]], Zavala commanded the Last City's forces during the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]. The Vanguard barely won a victory there, but the Consensus began planning an invasion of the Moon to drive their ancient enemy away. As the Consensus met, Shaxx interrupted them and declared their intentions folly and that the Hive had weapons like none they had ever seen that required further study, like their Light-draining swords. As his old friend pleaded with Zavala to reconsider the invasion, he gently told Shaxx that this would be a matter for the Consensus to decide, not him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Heavy_Weapons#Raze-Lighter|Raze-Lighter]]''</ref> Zavala and the Consensus failing to heed Shaxx's warnings resulted in [[The Great Disaster]], as thousands of Guardians perished attempting to retake the Moon for humanity.

During a meeting of the Consensus, it was agreed that the [[Concordat]] and its leader [[Lysander]] would be exiled following their unsuccessful bid to overthrow the Speaker. Zavala agreed to handle the reassignment of the Guardians pledged to the faction, although he believed it would be difficult due to how loyal Lysander's followers were. The meeting then turned to a discussion of who should replace the Concordat on the Consensus, and Zavala supported the [[Future War Cult]]'s inclusion, considering their focus on combat more useful to the Last City than dangerous.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The_City#Ghost_Fragment:_The_City_Age|Ghost Fragment: The City Age]]''</ref> When his predecessor as Vanguard Commander, [[Osiris]], tried to broker a contract between the City and a mercenary group of Titans called the [[The Sunbreakers|Sunbreakers]], Zavala found the terms of the deal unacceptable and rejected it, causing the Sunbreakers to hate the Vanguard and Zavala.

Decades after the Battle of the Twilight Gap, Zavala learned that an individual was accessing the Bray Archive at the [[Fu'an Institute Library]]. He met with [[Owl Sector]] agent [[Camrin Dumuzi]] to inquire about the identity of the researcher, hoping that his old friend Ana Bray was still alive. Carmin protested that she was only supposed to be reporting to [[Quist]], but Zavala informed her that he had been granted oversite over all Bray Archive issues. The Owl Sector agent informed him that the individual was named Staysa Pak and was just a civilian. Zavala sighed and sadly lamented that Ana must really be dead, causing Carmin to question who he was referring to. He deflected the question and told her that she had done a good job and keep him apprised if anything changed, unaware that Staysa Pak was an alias for Ana.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/6/22)''', ''[[Destiny: Warmind (comic)]]'', ''Chapter 3'', ''Page 7''</ref>

Zavala greeted a [[The Guardian|newly risen Gaurdian]] who had been revived by their [[Ghost]] in the [[Cosmodrome]] in [[Old Russia]].

When the Guardian reported back, Zavala learned that the [[Hive]] were infesting the Cosmodrome and that the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] was alive and active there as well, but the Fallen were hunting for him.

After learning that Guardian [[Ariadne Gris]] had painted a dragon onto her [[Sparrow]], the [[Dinas Emrys]], the Consensus summoned her before them. Zavala demanded to know if she had been in contact with an [[Ahamkara]], which she denied and insisted that she did it because dragons are cool. As the other members of the Consensus questioned Ariadne, Zavala asked for Ikora's opinion on the matter. Ikora admitted she was not paying attention, and joked that Ariadne obviously had not been in contact with an Ahamkara because she did not win in the [[Sparrow Racing League]] often. Zavala ended the inquiry by declaring that the Consensus' official stance on the matter was that the dragon symbol was cool.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Dinas Emrys]]''</ref>

==Personality and Traits==
Resolute, experienced, strong and charismatic, Zavala is a perfect exemplar of the Titan class of Guardian and a gifted leader that leads the Vanguard with the utmost determination. Zavala's first priority is the protection of the Last City and takes that charge seriously. No matter what force that seeks the destruction of the Last City, Zavala would face that enemy head-on. His one true goal is to defeat the Last City's enemies and reclaim the Solar System. Zavala has complete faith in the Guardians purpose in defending those in need. For this reason, he doesn't approve of those who doubt the Guardians abilities while espousing the dangers of the Last City's enemies, such as Eris Morn. Despite this, Zavala finds the value and skills in everyone and will defer to their advice when needed.

While Zavala is a capable, strategic leader, he can appear rigid and orthodox to others, especially Cayde-6, whose care-free attitude annoys Zavala to no end. While he would prefer people to follow orders and the chain-of-command, he will admit when an unorthodox strategy works. Though he can at times clash with Cayde, he nonetheless considers Cayde both a teammate and a friend. In contrast, he gets along well with Ikora Rey, though he has little patience for Warlock curiosity.
