Throughout the Red War, Zahn's weapons were used by Red Legion Cabal in the killing of hundreds of [[Human]]s in the Last City and the [[European Dead Zone]]. With the war having ended in Ghaul's death, his troops would take command of [[Firebase Hades]] while the former himself took over the [[Orobas Vectura]] after its previous [[Thumos, the Unbroken|commander]] was killed. However [[Commander Zavala]] would issue a [[Strike]] team supervised by [[Suraya Hawthorne]] and [[Cayde-6]] to kill the arms dealer and deprive the Red Legion of his weapon supply. During the strike, the base was alerted to the Guardians' presence due to a silent alarm being tripped by [[Ghost]] hacking in their network. Zahn's lieutenants rally the Red Legion to engage the fireteam, which included the air support of [[Thresher]]s and two [[Goliath Tank]]s. The Bracus himself would tactically retreat to the [[Firebase Airfield]] for one final stand against them, only to have met his end in battle for good.<ref name="The Arms Dealer"/> | Throughout the Red War, Zahn's weapons were used by Red Legion Cabal in the killing of hundreds of [[Human]]s in the Last City and the [[European Dead Zone]].

After the arrival of [[The Witness]], Bracus Zhan would resurface, taking up his old base in the Orobas Vectura, but now supplying weapons to [[Emperor Calus]]' [[Shadow Legion]] and capturing several of the [[Imperial Cabal]]'s [[Ascendant Guard]]s. The Vanguard would launch another operation, coordinated by both Zavala and [[Empress Caiatl]], to free the captives and take down Zahn. They wondered what the nature of this new "Zahn" was, if he had survived his assassination years prior, or was merely an imitator, taking up the original's name and legacy. The Guardian Fireteam freed the captives, and alongside them stormed Bracus Zahn's base, ultimately putting him down again.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/28/2)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]], [[The Arms Dealer]]''</ref> | |||

Bracus Zahn is a Cabal officer distinguished by his unusual chartreuse colored armor.

Zahn would even experiment on [[Sparrow]]s by rigging them with explosives and turning them into the fastest bombs according to [[Amanda Holliday]].<ref name="Tilt Fuse">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Tilt Fuse#Lore|Tilt Fuse]]''</ref> | ||

Upon the initial confrontation, Zahn will jump from a Cabal ship onto another platform, where he will summon [[Volcanic Scorpius]] along with other [[Cabal]]. He will be armed with a [[Slug Rifle]] for this first section. After doing some damage to him and killing all other enemies, he'll jump to a second platform and do the same thing. Once again, after doing damage to him and killing adds, he will fly upwards and into an airfield. The player must activate a lift and kill more Cabal foot soldiers to continue the fight. Once the lift has reached the top, Bracus Zahn will be waiting at the top armed with a [[Cabal Headhunter]] sniper rifle, which can punch through [[Guardian]] shields with ease at long range, and at close range he will use his jump jets to create a shockwave that will knock players back a significant distance and into greater dangers. This shockwave will leave behind spots of fire that ignite anyone that steps in them. He will summon four Volcanic [[Scorpius]]. At this point, the player can start doing permanent damage to the boss. Every third of his health that is taken down, though, Zahn will fly onto one of two pillars and surround himself in a shield. The only way to remove the shield to continue the fight is to pick up a Flame Core (which appears after enough adds are killed and a Cabal [[Thresher]] removes a [[Goliath Tank]] on top of it) and "dunk" it into a receiver on the opposite side of the map, similar to earlier in the Strike. Throughout the encounter, smaller Cabal enemies will continue to spawn. When at 50% health, Zahn will switch his equipped weapon to a [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]]. | Upon the initial confrontation, Zahn will jump from a Cabal ship onto another platform, where he will summon [[Volcanic Scorpius]] along with other [[Cabal]].

In the revamped Strike released with ''[[Lightfall]]'', Zahn fights simlarly, though he now summons regular Shadow Legion Scorpii. When he reaches a third of his health, he will become immune and teleport to one of the platforms instead of flying. The charge required to bring down his shield will have to be taken from a [[Shadow Guard Centurion]] who appears among the reinforcements, and must be dunked in a different location. The fireteam will also be supported by a number of allied Imperial Cabal Legionaries, Incendiors and Psions, who will hold off the reinforcements. | |||

As a Bracus, Zahn | As a Bracus, Zahn had his own squad of similarly-colored Cabal which appear throughout [[Firebase Hades]] and the [[Echion Vae|Orobas Vectura]] as lieutenants to the [[Red Legion]] Cabal during the strike. They are speculated to have been either renegades or criminals based on their titles. | ||
