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.

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...", regarding an injured [[Faison]], who had given his life to defend the humans aboard the ''[[Infinite Spoils]]''.{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: The Cole Protocol<!--|Page=274-->}} 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.

After the battle, Zhar and Thel were brought before Truth and Regret aboard the Covenant vessel ''[[Infinite Sacrifice]]''. Upon being told that he was to be executed for his failures, Zhar drew his [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] with the intent to murder the Prophet of Truth. However, Thel anticipated Zhar's attack, decapitating his former friend with his energy sword.{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: The Cole Protocol<!--|Page=341-->}} Unknowingly, Thel's actions had saved his own life; he was granted command of a ship in a [[Fleet of Particular Justice|new Covenant fleet]] and was ordered never to speak of the events that had transpired.
