Despite this, Zavala is capable of admitting a mistake or realizing there was more going on than he initially suspected. Instead of a personal vendetta against a rogue prince, the Guardians uncovered dark plots that threaten not only the Reef but the Last City as well. When the Awoken begged for the Last City's aid, informing them that the Taken have invaded the Dreaming City, Zavala regretted in not taking action sooner and thus agreed to stand with the Reef. | Despite this, Zavala is capable of admitting a mistake or realizing there was more going on than he initially suspected.

A running characterization with Zavala is his strong distrust with the ancient Warmind, Rasputin, believing the machine cannot be trusted with protecting humanity and its interests. Though Zavala once admitted that Rasputin may have been designed and built to defend humanity, time and the Collapse has left Rasputin, in Zavala's words, "a broken weapon", too dangerous to use but cannot be left unattended. Only when he has no other options at all would Zavala even consider getting involved with Rasputin. He would ultimately reach an accord with the ancient Warmind during the threat of the Almighty and would be left shocked when learning that Rasputin was silenced by the Darkness. | A running characterization with Zavala is his strong distrust with the ancient Warmind, Rasputin, believing the machine cannot be trusted with protecting humanity and its interests.

Another main trait of Zavala's is his rigidness in his stance towards what he believes is acceptable for Guardians, such as his strong reluctance towards Lightbearers wielding the Darkness-affiliated ability of Stasis, unlike Ikora Rey who has grown to tolerate it. Further, Zavala is adamant that the Traveler chose humanity and gifted them the Light for a reason, with its sacrifice during the Collapse as valid proof of it. However, after seeing the Traveler's supposed inaction during the Black Fleet's arrival would shaken this faith. Zavala would ultimately be left almost speechless and in near denial after learning that the Traveler resurrected the Hive Witch Queen, Savathûn, as a Lightbearer, unable to fathom that one of humanity's greatest foes was given the Light. | |||
Despite his rather rigid and orthodox stance, Zavala is more open-minded than he appears as he accepted Ikora Rey's alliance with the Eliksni House of Light and was at the forefront in creating an armistice with the Cabal Empress Caiatl, even getting into an argument with his old teacher Lord Saladin who advocated open war with the Cabal. Most notably, he accepted Crow into the Vanguard despite his former identity as the murderer of his friend and comrade, Cayde-6. | |||
Though most wouldn't really notice or even know it, Zavala does possess a sense of humor but very rarely shows it as he feels he must remain serious in the mission to protect the Last City. It's mostly subtle but he does make lighthearted comments that actually makes those around him, mainly his oldest friends, smile. | Though most wouldn't really notice or even know it, Zavala does possess a sense of humor but very rarely shows it as he feels he must remain serious in the mission to protect the Last City.
