===Freelance work===
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Zef saw the benefit of human capitalism and turned mercenary. At some point, he met the journalist [[Petra Janecek]] and became one of her most adept informants; being able to ascertain Thomas Lasky's identity and background before the latter took no more than three steps off Janecek's ship.{{Ref/Reuse|HE5}}

'Trahl has also worked for the [[Banished]], though with less enthusiasm than his work for the [[UNSC]]. He has supplied the Banished with bad information on at least one occasion, leading him into an armed confrontation with a Banished hunting party consisting of a [[human]] and three [[Kig-Yar]]. While initially outnumbered, he was able to neutralize the Kig-Yar and wound the human—though chose to keep the human alive so that he could relay a warning to his officers in the Banished that 'Trahl would not go down without a fight.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFEchoes|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-echoes-with-dinh|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Echoes With-Dinh|D=24|M=03|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Armory Infinitum#M392 Bandit}}


By [[2559#September|September 2559]], 'Trahl had become an informant for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and communicated under the codename MONEYBAGS. Around this time, 'Trahl had—by unknown means—come across knowledge of the UNSC's [[Operation: WOLFE|upcoming operation]] on [[Reach]]. In late September, he contacted [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Veronica Dare]] with information regarding the emergence of [[Janissary|a potential threat]] on [[Venezia]], telling her of a certain unfinished skyscraper in [[New Tyne]] where she could learn more about this supposed threat. 'Trahl told Dare that time was of the essence in this matter, and that her absence while tracking down this lead would not imperil [[Operation: WOLFE]]. Dare was given approval to investigate the threat and 'Trahl set her up with [[Ke'jah|a contact]] who would help her gain access to the tower.{{Ref/Reuse|HVS}}
