Zavala: Difference between revisions

In the Tower Hanger, presiding over Crow's actions, Zavala, while not wanting to jeopardize the Vanguard's growing alliance with the Cabal, is unwilling to hand over Crow to the empress. Though Crow resigns himself to his fate, Saladin steps in and offers his own life in exchange. Commending the Iron Lord's bravery in the face of death, Empress Caiatl agrees but has him become a bracus on her war council for the rest of his days. Though Crow attempts to appeal to Zavala, the Vanguard Commander silences him. Though saddened to see his old friend and mentor leave, Zavala is nonetheless grateful that his actions saved the Vanguard's alliance with the Cabal.

Upon the re-arrival of the Leviathan within the system of Sol, Zavala took it upon himself to take part in the investigation into its activity. Stationed within the orbit of Luna, the former Cabal Emperor Calus sought to create a connection between the Leviathan and the Pyramid on the moon. This caused Nightmares to emerge en masse within the derelict halls of the Leviathan, tormenting those who get to close. Seeking to interrupt this and prevent an enemy gaining unknown power, Zavala authorized the mission, [[Operation Midas]] and took part in a ritual conducted by Eris Morn, binding his own personal Nightmare to be used in an attempt to cut Calus' connection with the Lunar Pyramid. This took the form of Zavala's wife, Safiyah, from long ago when Zavala was still a protégé of Saladin Forge.
