=== Human-Covenant War ===
==== Engaging the Banished ====
Zeso was deployed to garrison and protect supply efforts for the Covenant Navy to invade and glass other Human planets which were nearby in the system Zeso was sent to, his outpost was vital in the Covenant's efforts for expanding and defeating Humanity as it contained valuable supplies for Covenant vessels to continue their naval missions, after an entire year of protecting the outpost, in late 2550, a young and eager Zeso itching for action confronted the Banished forces which were raiding the outpost he was garrisoned in, Zeso fought back against the ferocious and tough Banished mercenaries which aimed to take the outpost to pillage the supplies and steal it for their own efforts to fight both the Covenant and the UNSC forces as they were preoccupied with fighting amongst themselves, Zeso managed to viciously fight back against the Banished which gave the Covenant garrison time to evacuate from the outpost, the Minor then followed them and evacuated swiftly by using a Phantom and to cloak themselves to hide from Banished vessels blockading the outpost, however with the Banished being defeated and forced into a weakened position, the Banished regained further reinforcements and occupied the outpost believing they won against the Covenant defenders, but the base was rigged with explosive beforehand by Zeso and several other Covenant soldiers alike, when they got away the explosives were already primed and were detonated by Zeso, with all the supplies lost and countless Banished warriors, the Banished were outrage from this humiliation. This led to Zeso being offered the title of being a Major, but he respectfully declined the offer as he did not wish to comprehend with such responsibilities which were simply distant from his mindset. 
==== Great Schism ====
Around the time of the Great Schism in 2552, Zeso was deployed on Earth and fought during the Battle of Sydney, he and several other Covenant forces fought the Human forces defending their position against the UNSC onslaught with a group of Jiralhanae warriors, however admist the battle and after promptly defeating a unit of UNSC Army Troopers, the Jiralhanae betrayed Zeso and the group of Sangheili he was with, despite this sudden change Zeso analysed the situation quickly and began to fire at the Brutes behind cover, his guild was ultimately successful in eliminating the Brutes which betrayed them and attempted to silence the Sangheili, this confused Zeso and the other Sangheili and attempted to contact their high command on the planet but it was silenced and simply replaced by Brute communication relays throughout the world, Zeso and the Sangheili then fought against several squads of UNSC forces until capturing a unmanned Pelican and using it to escape from the world where they soon established a signal with other stranded Sangheili survivors throughout Sydney, recovering them in rescue operations, Zeso provided as a door gunner during theser rescue missions, shortly after recovering as many Sangheili as they could to their abilities, the Pelican they captured soon flew to a Sangheili vessel which exited from Earth and quickly travelled to the regrouping point set out by the Fleet of Particular Justice by the Shadow of Intent, soon after arriving, Zeso and his fellow Sangheili survivors were debriefed about the situation in regards of the Great Schism as the Prophets supposedly betrayed them, Zeso was sceptical and in denial at first but realised that is was the truth as he bare witnessed to the space battle occuring between Sangheili and Covenant vessels once they arrived near High Charity, following this Zeso was deployed to High Charity yet again to evacuate standed Sangheili stragglers as they fought the Brute forces through the corridors of the space station, they shortly returned to a Phantom and left from the station and soon arrived in the CAS Carrier, the Shadow of Intent.
==== Outbreak on Earth & Battle of Installation 00 ====
As the Shadow of Intent was fighting in the large scale space battle between the Jiralhanae and the Sangheili forces, Zeso witnessed the Shadow of Intent partially glassing a portion of High Charity after recieving news about the flood's infestation of the space station, as he observed this, Zeso met the well renown Sangheili High Councilor Ceo 'Theainee in which he befriended and kindled with personally, Ceo respected Zeso and viewed him as a respectful associate rallying behind him, Zeso 'Rongam saw Ceo as an inspiration to continue the fight against the Brutes and the Prophets which betrayed the Sangheili race. Following the Shadow of Intent joined with remnants of Sangheili controlled Covenant vessels, the Fleet of Retribution was formulated, and the Fleet of Retribution travelled to Installation 05 to quarantine the rapidly growing threat of the Flood spreading throughout the Galaxy, ultimately being successful, the Sangheili forces managed to hold back and prevent the further spread of the Flood but although the Fleet of Retribution kept the Flood at bay, one singular flood infected CCS-class Battlecruiser named the Indulgence of Conviction managed to break through the battle group's blockade over the installation, thus, the Fleet of Retribution persued the flood infected Battlecruiser back to the Human homeworld of Earth to prevent the Battlecruiser being used as a staging point for the Flood to infect the planet. When the Indulgence of Conviction plumetted into the surface of the Human city of Voi, Sangheili and UNSC forces quickly commenced an offensive effort to exterminate and cleanse the Flood forces from infecting Voi, however the Flood were superior in numbers compared to the joint Sangheili-Human collaboration effort, leading to the Fleet of Retribution quickly glassing the city to prevent the spread of the Flood. Following the end of the Battle of Voi and the Flood threat being quarantined, Zeso 'Rongam along with Ceo 'Theainee and countless other Sangheili warriors observed the meeting between UNSC and Sangheili military leaders in which Zeso and Ceo scrutinised their attention towards John-117 and carefully observed the convention being held between the military leaders on both sides.

Following the UNSC and Sangheili military leaders coming to the conclusion to ally, Zeso along with the majority of Sangheili forces remained aboard the Shadow of Intent and arrived at Installation 00 where the UNSC and Sangheili forces came under heavy attack from the Covenant forces within the orbit above the Forerunner Installation, eventually Ceo volunteered to fight against the Covenant in one final effort to put an end to the Prophet's rule and to dissolve the Covenant, ultimately, Zeso was one of the first Sangheili warriors to volunteer to serve under Ceo's strike team, despite being a Minor, Zeso played a crucial role during the Battle of Installation 00 with Ceo's strike team assaulting a Forerunner facility which was highly valuable and important for the Human and Sangheili forces to proceed with crossing over a large gorge, Zeso and fellow Sangheili began to attack the Covenant ground units attempting to defend the Forerunner controls to prevent the Humans and Sangheili to be able to cross over to help support the assault on the Cartographer, Ceo's unit eventually fought ardently against the Covenant forces and quickly extirpated the defenders and foiled their efforts to disable the Forerunner controls, however when confronting one of the Brute Chieftains defending the control room within the convines of the Forerunner facility, Zeso decided to fight the Chieftain directly which was imprudent on the Minor's behalf, before having the option of reapprasing the situation, the Chieftain lunged over to Zeso as the Elite quickly panicked and fired at the Chieftain in perturbation as the Needler he used was depleted in ammunition, shortly afterwards, Zeso's legs were swiped by the Chieftain, collapsing onto the floor below, Ceo shouted in hesitation and activated his Energy Sword quickly, but by the time Ceo charged the Chieftain, Zeso was thwacked by the Gravity Hammer, being killed instantly from the impact of the hammer into his chest, rupturing Zeso's body strenuously, ending the life of the Minor.
== Personality & traits ==
As a Minor Zeso was determined to fight for the Covenant and was heavily indoctrinated to fight against Humanity in an effort to eradicate them from existence seeing them as filth plaging the worlds they colonise like the majority of Sangheili during the Human-Covenant War, he was usually notable for his uncoordinated attributes in which when he was fighting in battles, Zeso usually lacked the basic capabilities to fight against hostile forces alone or having proper preparedness against fighting the foe, this led him to be viewed by his peers as unreliable and worthless to organise, despite the bad reputation, Zeso usually made up for his mistakes when he contributed in significant operations particularly in the likes of defending an outpost and rigging it with explosives so the Banished were unable to seize it, and distinguishing himself with his determination and ruthless mindset to fight against a Chieftain by themselves usually a Needler, his unwavering spirit had drawbacks, in which Zeso constantly refused to follow orders from his superiors and advise from his Sangheili subordinates, this egocentric mindset and tendencies led to Zeso developing a belief that the Sangheili Separatists relied on his efforts solely as demonstrated during the duel with the Chieftain, instead of supporting Ceo as Ceo was more empirical than the Minor was as Zeso was more impulsive and had little regard of his present surroundings and his future outlook on the choices he made to proclaim himself as to redeem from his past mistakes he made. However Zeso couldn't have comtemplated on his choices as he was killed afterwards, believing that protecting his brothers was also the principle of his beliefs and usually postulated on that facade.
