By the Light of Lothal's moons
“Zeb. My name. It’s Zeb.”
“Short for Garazeb. I know.”

Zeb began to see Kallus in a different light after Bahryn. He began to see a loyal man. A strong fighter. An intelligent man. Once he began to see these traits, he began to notice his features whenever they would interact. His strawberry blond hair would be combed back and out of the way, and his mutton chops accentuated his cheek bones. The movements his body would make as he fought would leave Zeb speechless. Garazeb found that he started to fall for the imperial.
Agent Kallus never saw just a rebel with Captain Garazeb Orrelios. Garazeb was strong-willed, living as one of the last of his kind. He found a family and he protected that family with all his might. He would have a wicked toothy grin, and a mad glint in his eyes, when confident in his abilities. The agent witnessed this glint firsthand, whether it was towards him or the storm troopers around him. Before they got trapped on Bahryn, he witnessed Zeb’s rageful glare. He only knew the warrior before Bahryn. Then, he saw the true side of Garazeb. A kind and honorable soul, just as strong mentally as he is physically. Kallus had thought he was only fascinated by the lasat. He hadn’t realized that this fascination led to him falling in love.
When Kanan and Ezra returned from their mission, they were both madly confused at the discovery of the new Fulcrum. Agent Kallus. When Zeb heard this discovery, he knew that he was the reason for Kallus’ change of heart.
“I think I might have accidentally recruited him back on Bahryn…”
The rest of the Ghost crew were confused as to how one could ‘accidentally recruit’ someone. Zeb stood near the holotable with butterflies all throughout his torso. His heart was pounding and he began to realize that Kallus was on their side now. The rest of the crew dropped the fact, but Zeb could only dwell on the possibility of fighting alongside the agent, rather than against.
Agent Kallus was ecstatic with the feeling of being recognized in the rebellion. Sabine, Kanan, and Ezra knew that he was Fulcrum, and now the entire Ghost crew – Zeb – knew that he was Fulcrum. He would pace around his room, thinking about the other ways he could help the rebellion. He became reckless. Thrawn began to notice that the rebels were getting information from the inside. He felt guilty for accusing Lieutenant Lyste, but it was the only way to keep his cover. Ezra offered to bring Kallus with them to the rebels, and he wanted nothing more, but there was more he could do where he was.
