===Commander of the Vanguard===
As Commander, multiple factions approached Zavala 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,<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Executor Hideo]]: [[Executor_Hideo#Quotes|Quotes]]''</ref> likely not wanting to reignite the [[Faction Wars]].

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 Blizzar, [[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.
