Bio
Zealot's real name is Lady Zannah of Khera. Zannah and her daughter Kenesha (who at the time believed Zealot was actually her sister) along with the several other Kherubim, were stranded on Earth thousands of years ago when their Explorer ship crash-landed after a battle with a Daemonite warship. Zannah survived thanks to her lover, Stratos, who put her in an escape pod. Zannah and the other survivors were scattered, forced to hide themselves amongst the human population. Their enemies had likewise been forced down, and though less humanoid, the Daemonites used their powers of possession and shapeshifting to blend in as well. For the next few millennia, a secret war raged, with the Kherubim defending the vulnerable and oblivious humans from their would-be conquerors.
Zannah took the name Zealot when she formed a sisterhood of warriors, known as The Coda, on Earth. She fought along side them for many years, even leading the group for a while. In the city of Troy, during the Trojan War, Zealot arranged for the Coda to help the Greeks conquer Troy in exchange for 99 female babies to be raised as new Coda warriors. She helped Ulysses conceive of the Trojan horse and stationed Coda warriors inside it. However during the sacking of Troy she decided that the killing of all of the unarmed women and children was going too far, so she saved the life of the royal family. In doing so it was decided by her fellow Coda that she had betrayed the precepts of the Coda. She was engaged in combat by her closest friend, whom she beat, but refused to kill. This was considered by the friend a mortal insult. These actions were considered violations of Coda precepts and caused her to be branded a traitor and be expelled from the order. She is considered to be an eternal enemy by the very Coda sisterhood she had founded.
Subsequently, Zealot spent a century serving the witch known as Tapestry. She did this as payment for Tapestry saving Kenesha's life after having been poisoned. During this period Tapestry tried to brainwash Zealot to her way of thinking, but although Zealot was changed by her time working for the witch, she managed to retain her true self inside. During her stay with Tapestry, Zealot became a proficient wielder of magics. However, the magic she learned was dark magic and soul corrupting. Because of this Zealot swore never to use it again, but had to break her promise when she battled Tapestry many years later.
Team One
For most of the 20th century, Zealot lived in America. She began a relationship with US army soldier Jack Harackiewicz in the 1950s, and tried to train him in the ways of the Coda, but the two eventually went their separate ways. Under the name Lucy Blaize, Zealot worked for the US Government's Department of Defense and became a member of the ill-fated Team One, with fellow Kherubim Mr. Majestic (Majestros, the father of Savant), Saul Baxter (Lord Emp), John Colt (Yon Kohl, with whom Zealot had a relationship at the time) and Marc Slayton (Backlash).
WildC.A.T.s: Cover Action Teams
She would train a man in the ways of the Coda named Cole Cash whom she joined the Wild.C.A.T.s with. As a Wild.C.A.T she again fought Helspont and his Cabal. He intended to bring other Daemonites to earth, but the team was able to stop his plan. When Voodoo became apart of Wild.C.A.T.s she trained her in the fighting style of the Coda. It was during one of their training sections that they met Hunstman and Miranda Tai being chased by aliens. One took over Voodoo and went to see Tapestry. Zealot along with Hunstman and Tai went after her battling Tapestry and soon the rest of the team arrived and fought the group known as the Troikathat Tapestry had hired. Even Majestros and Savant joined the battle and Zealot took a short leave after. Zealot along with the rest of the group found the crashed Kherubim ship and used the ship to travel back to Khera. Their the team found out Khera was not as utopian as they once believed. The war against the Daemonites ended thousands of years ago and were now second class citizens to them. Zealot even insulted Voodoo when she told of this straining the relationship. While there the other Coda had wanted to kill her in hopes of making her a martyr for themselves. This act made her disgusted with them and along with the rest of the team returned to Earth. When they returned they found that a new team had been formed in their place. The new team was Majestros, Savant, Ladytron, Condition Red and Tao. However Tao was revealed to had been manipulating the team into starting a gang war and she almost killed Tao when they attacked him, but Majestic killed him first.
Wildcore
She was also apart of Wildcore, when Department Psi needed her to help them with a group of aliens known as the D'rahn. She invaded Norfolk Naval Base trying to find a general Gant, who was leader of an alien extermination group known as the Puritans. The Puritans have a database of suspected aliens who live on earth and the D'rahn want to hunt down the earth Kherubim's. Gant uses his group called the Chasers to protect their base, but the power of the D'rahn overwhelms them and only their leader Brawl, Zealot and Gant make it out of their alive. Later Gant turns out to have been a Daemonite indisguise. His faction of Daemonites promise to obey the D'rahn in return for their lives and are then enlightened by the D'rahn and made more powerful. Wildcore is able to erase all but ten of the names on the list and now with Brawl set out to defend the remaining names. They are unable to save one person from the list, but his fiance Alea having been enlightened joined the Wildcore. After she and a member Ferrian try to find Majestic for help a ally of Department Psi Azrum is revealed to have gone to find Tapestry for help, but hasn't been heard of. With Majestic Wildcore attack the D'rahn and in the battle he kills their Typhon causing them to retreat. Azrum has been imprisoned by Tapestry and after enslaving Zealot reshapes the world, but Ferrian is able to regain his old memory's and free the others. The defeat Tapestry, but two members die and she soon leaves the group.
Wildcats & Wildcats 3.0
During a mission against an Irish village were super soldiers were being made via Daemontie tech she was thought dead after she tried to save a group of children and was shot. The village was caught in an explosion and the rest of the team thought her dead and disbanded. Later it turns out she was hiding from Coda factions hunting them down in secret and even had a one night stand with a drunk Grifter and the two would fight of the Coda. After some time killing the Coda the FBI tracked her and sent Agent Orange secretly under Jack Marlowe's control, the Coda eventually found her sending Sarin to take her down and she captured her, Orange and his agents. She was to be exacuted by them and was tortured, but thanks to Ladytron being controlled by Grifter, Mr. Dolby, the Beef Boys and C.C Renozzo were sent after her. They battled many Coda, but couldn't make their way to them until Marlowe used Orange to fight the Coda from the inside. She was freed and the base and the Coda were destroyed.
Majestic
Later, Majestros asked for her help when he traveled from the future discovering that soon the Daemonites would take over. The two along with Desmond went in search for the Planet Shaper, but Helspont and his creation Biomass attacked them. After Desmond merged with the device Zealot along with Majestic and Helspont discovered that the Kherubims grew in power by inslave species on planets and taking over that world and that Daemonites were a race that fought back against their control. Soon a rogue Kherubim of the Shapers Guild named Javen arrived. He wanted to use the Shaper and remake Earth into a new Khera and use Majestic DNA to breed a new race of Kherubims. However he found that Majestic's body was breaking down due to his dimension and time travel and attempted to take their child Savant as the next best thing. During the battle Majestic made Zealot reveal that she was in fact Savant's mother and he was her father. He then went off to stop the Kherubims forces on his own.
Wildcats Nemesis
Some time later a Kherubim named Nemesis made an appearance it was revealed that she was at one time the lover of Majestic and he used his postion to get her trained as a member of the Coda despite her being an Adrastea. The two women became rivals and friends, but due to her heritage Kheran politicians ordered Majestic to sleep with Zealot which he did seperating from Nemesis. Nemesis had been used as a scapegoat byRaven of the Brotherhood of the sword when he killed the Coda in an attempt to overthrow the Kherubims and Daemonites. Zealot swore her revenge on Nemesis unknowing of the truth. Zealot later found her in 2005 killing members of the Brotherhood and taking a child from them. She defeated the Wildcats and Zealots in short time, but Majestic was infact able to beat her. After she was taken to the Halo building the truth was revealed. She explained that the Brotherhood and Daemonites had intended to turn humans into mutant monsters and were going to use the child Kara to do it. Zealot along with the rest of the Wildcats were attacked by the Brotherhood using Brotherhood/Shaper's called Scimitars. After their leader Raven took the girl Zealot, Majestic and Nemesis made piece and went after them and fought the mutates that had been activated. After Savant found their ship the team went after it they found that Raven had taken the population of New Jersey hostage. He told them to surrender, but like a Coda, Nemesis did not. She did not she used some special grenades causing damage and buying the group time to escape with the hostages and stayed to finish of Raven, but not before making her tell Majestic that if she hadn't sacrificed she would have made him happy all those years. She killed Raven and would have died herself had Majestic not showed up to keep her from dying in outerspace.
