Zev was a minor character from the fifth season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He was a resident of the Lighthouse in the year 2091 who worked as the right-hand man of Grill.
On the second day of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s adventure on the Lighthouse, Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie, Melinda May and Yo-Yo Rodriguez were put to work in the salvage yard under Grill. When Grill assigned Tess to lead a haul, she took Coulson, May and Mack with her. The trio believed that there was some kind of transmission coming from Earth's remaining hemisphere and wanted to investigate it, but Grill suspected that his new minions might be plotting something and sent Zev to keep an eye on them.
Aboard the Trawler, Zev gave Mack a hard time for his attitude at work. When the others discovered a secret radio that Virgil supposedly used, Zev found them and used their Metrics to pin them to the walls with the intent of bringing them back to Grill and confirming his suspicions. However, Zev was knocked out by Mack and locked up in the Trawler.
Zev eventually regained consciousness and threatened the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that they would be fed to the Vrellnexians. He then sabotaged the fueling systems of the Trawler, forcing them to go back to the Lighthouse. Back at the Salvage, Zev reported the events of the space mission to Grill, who was keen on delivering Tess and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to the Kree Watch. However, Yo-Yo used her super-speed to place a gun in Zev's jacket and told Grill that Zev had stolen it. Despite protesting, Zev could not convince his boss of his good faith and Grill sent him to the surface of the Earth, where he was devoured by a flock of Vrellnexians.
