Zawaz

"Be ignored. Live another day."

- Zawaz's creed

Zawaz was a Covenant Grunt Minor that appeared in a short section in the prologue of Halo: First Strike. He was assigned as a foot soldier on board a Covenant cruiser.

Biography
Zawaz landed on Reach, along with the rest of the Covenant. He was supposed to be on the lookout for threats to the landing zone of a Covenant cruiser. He fell asleep on duty and woke up dropping an expensive Covenant device. It still worked, so he was very grateful. He spotted three Banshee aircraft, but failed to report them through his radio, because he thought that his commanding Elites might be angered had it been a waste of time. Unfortunately for him, those Banshees were piloted by Frederic-104, Joshua-029, and Kelly-087. The Spartans droped nuclear bombs on the destroyer's Gravity Lift, killing all Covenant forces in the area.

Death
Zawaz was killed in the nuclear explosion created by Spartans Frederic and Kelly, along with all other Covenant.
