Zhar was a member of a small team of Zealots led by [[Thel 'Vadam|Thel 'Vadamee]]. In [[2535]], they were based on the ''[[Retribution's Thunder]]'', a [[Covenant destroyer]] commanded by 'Vadamee, who attacked [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ships at [[Charybdis IX]] during the [[Battle of Charybdis IX]]. The group was later ordered personally by the [[Hierarchs|High Prophet]] of [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]] to find [[Kig-Yar]] rebels who were trading [[Covenant]] weapons with [[human]]s.<ref>''' | Zhar was a member of a small team of Zealots led by [[Thel 'Vadam|Thel 'Vadamee]].

During the [[Battle of the Rubble|conflict]] in [[the Rubble]], Zhar began to question the Prophets' orders to completely eradicate the human race, and wondered why they couldn't be accepted into the Covenant; he remarked that "...they show some capacity for honor," and that there was "...something profoundly noble in them...",<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 274''</ref> regarding an injured [[Faison]], who had given his life to defend the humans aboard the ''[[Infinite Spoils]]''. He also began to dwell on the Prophets' contradicting commands, as the Prophet of Regret had given orders to destroy the Kig-Yar "heretics" in the Rubble, while [[Reth]] claimed that he was following orders from the [[Prophet of Truth]]. Based on this, Zhar believed that the Covenant leadership was not as united and infallible as he had been led to believe, and suspected that the Hierarchs were manipulating the Sangheili for their own ends. He voiced these concerns to Thel 'Vadamee, who rebuked him and warned him not to entertain such thoughts. | During the [[Battle of the Rubble|conflict]] in [[the Rubble]], Zhar began to question the Prophets' orders to completely eradicate the human race, and wondered why they couldn't be accepted into the Covenant; he remarked that "...they show some capacity for honor," and that there was "...something profoundly noble in them...",<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 274''</ref> regarding an injured [[Faison]], who had given his life to defend the humans aboard the ''[[Infinite Spoils]]''.

*Ironically, Zhar's attempt to kill the Prophet of Truth with an Energy Sword was stopped by Thel 'Vadamee; years later, Thel would successfully kill the Prophet in a similar manner. | *Ironically, Zhar's attempt to kill the Prophet of Truth with an Energy Sword was stopped by Thel 'Vadamee; years later, Thel would successfully kill the Prophet in a similar manner. | ||
