Vordel's chance arrived months later, in October: after Kincaid tasked the newly promoted major [[Haya Tetsuhara]] with rebuilding the long-defunct [[Zeta Battalion]], Aksel was assigned as her personal bodyguard, the same task his ancestor had for Jaime Wolf. Aksel didn't talk much, but fully supported Haya.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 133</ref>

When Zeta attacked the Wolf planet of [[Labouchere]], Aksel's 'Mech was one of the first ones to disembark. An [[Indra]] tank shot him, but Aksel simply laughed it off and blew the tank away with only two ER PPCs.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 170</ref>

In their next target, the planet [[Alula Borealis]], when Haya wanted to personally fight a [[Trial of Position]] against the Wolf commander for the planet, he screamed at her, but she fought anyway and won easily.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 194</ref> On the third target, [[Trellisane]], on 17 February [[3152]], Vordel's 'Mech was the first one to land, right before Haya, but despite the fight lasting weeks, barely had chances to fight, though he downed a ''[[Stingray]]'' fighter.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 204–215</ref>

During Zeta's raid on [[Gienah]], the Wolf capital, Vordel was the second one to disembark, after Haya, on 6 June, and helped to down a Wolf ''[[Dominator]]'', and later, in an [[Alpha Strike (tactic)|Alpha Strike]], definitively downed a ''[[Linebacker]]''.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 303</ref> In the battle of the capital, Alliago City, Vordel downed a Wolf ''[[Warwolf]]'', and later fought against the Empire leader, Star Colonel [[Othar]], helping bring down his ''[[Blood Reaper]]''.
