During the Red War Zavala turns from a stoic commander to a defeated husk of a man. Once we save the day his disposition changes, but I got a feeling that the loss of the city still haunts him. During War-mind Zavala puts a noticeable emphasis on the fact that Ana wasn’t at the city to help defend it. During the events of Forsaken Zavala doesn’t want us to go, on official record of course, because we need to defend the city. Also after retrieving the body of Cayde, Zavala says “I refuse to burry any more friends”, meaning he still feels guilty for the Red War. Zavala is not a heartless monster. Zavala is suffering from PTSD, and now guardians are turning away from the Vanguard towards the Drifter.
Thoughts?

Cayde death is why I will join the drifter. The vanguard did nothing!!! What a insult to his name. Not even ikora would sneak out, she did it for osiris but not for cayde!! She is not worthy of being vanguard and Zavala is a coward. When you're best friend is killed, you hunt the son of bitch that killed them and end them. I hope to see the vanguard crumble away and from the ashes a new cult. One that follows the path of sorrows road. Let the darkness devour our enemies. And the light cook their flesh. For reality is the finest flesh O gurdian Mine, can you taste it?
