== Charactah Account ==
The Zealots are two teams of Red and Blue soldiers who originated from an unknown part of the galaxy. These soldiers are, for some reason, in a constant loop of attack and retaliation, revival, and senseless murder.
The Zealots also have a religious following of the Red and Blue team flags.

== Trivia ==
* he Zealots were created by Burnie Burns as a parody of stereotypical Halo players. In their first appearance in Season 3, they were presented as actual online players, with one Red Grunt declaring he had to "take out the trash" and would be right back. They were quickly rewritten into different characters, however, when the Red Zealot appeared to Doc/O'Malley and Lopez, and later made part of the Freelancer Simulation troopers.
** They may also be inspired by the Unggoy (AKA Grunts) from the Halo franchise, as both are comedic, dim-witted-but-fanatical enemy antagonist foot-soldiers with high-pitched voices, only dangerous in large numbers.
* Zealots all wear the same armor, the only differences being either red or blue colors.
** The Zealots wear Green Visors as of Season 15.
* It's currently unknown how or why the Zealots revive upon hearing Reveille, which originally represented online Halo matches ending and starting. This gag has never been used past their first appearance and may have been discarded from the narrative. However, it could be inferred to be an aspect of the armor-lockup mechanic it was later revealed Project Freelancer uses to simulate death of Sim Troopers.
* Every Grunt's voice is raised in high pitch after lines are recorded to create an irritating tone of voice. This is done to resemble the stereotypical "rowdy and offensive" Halo player.
* The Zealots appear in the special award show video The Best Red vs. Blue DVD Ever. Of All Time. as viewers of the event. 
* Xbox marketplace offers a RvB Camping T-shirt displaying the phrase, "It's a legitimate strategy!" for Xbox avatars as a tribute to the Zealots.
