On  the crew, Zhaan was the voice of reason and he knowledge of species biology often came handy. However, her dark side sometimes revealed itself - Zhaan was among the crew members who wanted to trade one of Pilots arms for a star chart, and during crew's encounter with evil Maldis, Zhaan was forced to use the dark in herself in order to defeat him. The worst blow came from Pa'u Tahleen, who entered the Unity with Zhaan solely to learn how to overpower her dark impulses and not go crazy after hurting others. Tahleen refused to let go and broke Zhaan's mind again. She was saved by John Crichton who entered the Unity with her, even though he risked his own life in process.
Zhaan decided to stop being priestess in the wake of these incidents. However, she was forced to take a mantle again in order to defeat Maldis again. Kahaynu, one of the Leviathan Builders, enabled her to hear Moya's thoughts, and after that she dedicated herself again to protecting both Pilot and Moya.
Stark and Zhaan formed a relationship during his travels with the crew.
