Greetings, I am Baracuss Antairious. I am a Ship Master for the Covenant Separatists, and a loyal servant of the Sanghelios High Councilors.

Enlisted
I was born on Sanghelios just before the events of Halo Wars, and was enlisted (Against my own will) into the Covenant. As a Minor Domo I saved Multiple other Elites from a weopons miss-fire and I was promoted to Major Domo. After that the Prophets kept a close eye on me, and (After many more promotions)I was soon chosen to become an Honor Guard.

Honor Guard
After the discovery of the first Halo, I was assinged to guard the Prophet of Mercy. The Prophet wanted to behold Halo with his own eyes, so he (and twenty Honor GuardS, inculding myself) boarded the Covenant Assault Carrier, the Glimering Emerald and made our way to Halo. After the Flood was released, I and the other Honor Guards had to protect the Prophet; only three of the original Honor Guards(Including me) had survived. We fought our way back through hords of Flood back to the Glimering Emerald. During the battle I was wounded by a Flood, whom sliced an Energy Sword down my back. Once back on High Charity the Prophet told me that the importance of the death of the Honor Guards that were consumed by the Flood were nothing compaired to the importance of the Great Journey.

Heretic
Outraged by this I went to the council demanding the imediate demotion of Mercy, but the council instead branded me a Heretic because I was going against the word of the Prophets. I was "Banished" to the gas giant of Threshold where I was met by other Heretics, including the Heretic leader Sesa 'Refumee who taught me the true reason that the sacred rings were created.

"The Deceiver"
After the Flood was unleashed from the Labs within the Gas-mine, and the Arbiter killed 'Refumee, I found a dead Covenant Zealot. I took possesion of his armore and returned to High Charity in the same phantom as the Arbiter and the filthy Burte Tartrus, and gave myself a new name. I was soon made Ship Master of the Glimering Emerald, The same ship I flew on when the Prophet of Mercy beheld the first Halo. I had earned the nickname Deceiver, from the few ship-mates I trusted my secrets with.

Separatist
After the Great Schism I sided with the Covenant Separatists and hold my Campaine against the Loyalists and the Flood!

My Personal Ship, the Glimering Emerald
Glimering Emerald

My Assault Carrier Glimering Emerald
.

The Glimering Emerald is my personal ship, and the Flagship of the Separatist fleet: Fleet of Approching Salvation. My fleet has only three ships (including the Glimering Emerald), the other two ships are the Gleaming Saphire and the Shining Diamond. The Glimering Emerald is one of the main targets for the Covenant Loyalists, because it used to be the main transport vessel of the Prophet of Mercy, and contains acess codes to multiple Loyalist areas. The Glimering Emerald has had some modifications preformed on it's systems and outter hull. One of these Modifications iclude it's hull being experimental AX-92 alloy, a sort of liquid metal, that rebuilds itself if damaged. It has much stronger engines than most Assult Carriers, being able to fly faster (Air or Space) and still have full manuverability. The Glimering Emerald has an onboard AI known as Crimson Dagger.

Friends?
During my time I had made multiple friends, such as a Spec-Ops Grunt named Yip Snapp. Last I heard of him he was talking to the Demon (Unknowingly to himself, because he had gone blind after an Explosion), about how he couldn't wait to get off the Halo and get back to the starship to get to get his "Food Nipple". He died in the massive nuke explosion that destroyed the first Halo. Another Grunt I knew was a Heretic "AA Grunt" weilding his trusty Fuel Rod Gun. He was assigned to head up to a tower to watch for enemy Banshees. Last I saw of him... he was plumiting towards the core of Threshold due to a weopon's miss-fire of his fellow grunt. During the Great Schism another Grunt friend of mine stayed behind to "Make sure no brutes came behind the mighty Arbiter" (whom which I was the "Zealot" following him"). He Joined the Loyalists, but then dissapeared. He was last reported being seen on the Halo being rebuilt on the Ark, watching Forward Onto Dawn fly into the portal leading back to earth. His last words were: "Take me with you!". (Sigh)...Good times. If you are my friend, ally, or even another Separatist you can sign your name below.

BuZZKiLLJAKE117 Lets crack some skulls.

Major Drone My fleet is ready for battle.

Heavy Grunt We shall destroy the Loyalists!

High Councilor 'Fersamee Together, we will win!

Fleet of Approching Salvation
The Fleet of Approching Salvation contains only three ships, each of them being Assault Carriers. The reason why I only have three ships is because I could never keep up with a fleet of thousands. I don't even think you can call it a fleet! But when in battle, my ships would fight at all costs for the victory of the Covenant Separatists! I could never ask for a better fleet.

My 2nd Ship, the Shining Daimond
The Shining Daimond does not have modified systems, like its sister-ship the Glimering Emerald. It is just "presumed" a normal Assault Carrier. The Shining Daimond was stolen by Loyalists, after a very large ambush near the Galactic center (Reason for being so close to the center is Classified). The Ship has been recovered due to a Valient Effort by Baracuss. He had found the Loyalist fleet, orbiting around Threshold for some odd reason, and engaged it. Armed only in the Seraph he was flying against over 500 Loyalist ships, he somehow managed to be victorious (Though some rumors may have been involved). The Ship has now returned to the fleet.

My 3rd Ship, the Gleaming Saphire
The Gleaming Saphire does not have modified systems, like its sister-ship the Glimering Emerald. It is just "presumed" a normal Assault Carrier. The Gleaming Saphire was stolen by Loyalists, after a very large ambush near the Galactic center (Reason for being so close to the center is Classified). This Ship has been recovered due to a Valient Effort by Baracuss. He had found the Loyalist fleet, orbiting around Threshold for some odd reason, and engaged it. Armed only in the Seraph he was flying against over 500 Loyalist ships, he somehow managed to be victorious (Though some rumors may have been involved). The Ship has now returned to the fleet.

Training
I started training in the art of an Energy Sword when I was very young, and succeded in becoming a Master Swordsman. Because of this achievement I was enlisted into the Covenant. During my time in the Covenant, I learned much about the Covenant religion from the Priests and High Claric, only to find out from the Heretics that all of it was a lie. After I rejoin the Covenant under a different identity, I learned to pilot and command ships, and thus was made Ship Master of the Glimering Emerald (Which was, at the time, the Prophet of Mercy's main transport vessel). During my time as Ship Master I resorted more to disscovery rather than war, finding more Forerunner instalations. (I had found two: Instalation-01, which I quickly Glassed due to massive numbers of Flood, and fragments of Instalation-03, who's sun had gone super nova destroying it and the planet it orbited. After the Great Schism I learned much more about Human civilizations. I still hold my place as Ship Master, in the Covenant Separatist Grand Armada.

Remembered Battles
Baracuss had been in many battles, but the ones following are the ones he remembers (and Enjoyed) the most.

Instalation-04 (Time as an Honor Guard)
When the Flood was released on Alpha Halo, Baracuss and nineteen other Honor Guards had to protect the Prophet of Mercy (Who had un-thinkingly came to the ring even while the Humans were revolting) from hords of Flood. After the battle only he and, two other Honor Guards, Survived the Flood. But Mercy cared more for the safty of the Ring then of his own Guards.

Threshold (Time as a Heretic)
After the Flood was released on the Forerunner gas-mine, and the Covenant came to wipe-out the Heretics all at once. Baracuss, and an Elite friend he had made, took hold of their energy swords and went to their separate stations. Baracuss killed multiple Flood forms, delaying thier spreding throughout the station until the Sentinals were placed. After that He went to go aid his friend in the hangar bay, but only watched in horror as his friend was sniped on entery into the hanger! During the battle that followed he found a dead Zealot, who's armore was fully intact. He stole the armore, and (while the Arbiter was fighting the Heretic leader) slipped into the Hangar, and stowed away in Tartarus' Phantom. He returned to High Charity, and became Ship Master of The Glimering Emerald, though still using his stolen Zealot Armore.

Great Schism/Battle of Instalation-05 (Time as a Covenant Ship Master)
During the great Schism, Baracuss fought along side of the Arbiter (Only reveiling his true name after he knew the Arbiter could trust him), against Tartarus.

Instalation 00 (Time as a Covenant Separatist)
Baracuss was one of many Elites to aid the Arbiter and the Master Cheif, claim the Citidel. He was evacuated soon after.

[[Image:Mark of Shame.jpg]] Now (Separatist Ship Master and High Councilor)
Baracuss Antairious still wears the stolen Zealot armore. The Armore is no-longer gold, but Steel with Red trim and detail. He also wears the Mark of Shame to show that he was one of the first to see the light, and learn the true meaning of the Halo Rings. He has taken part in many battles, three of which he fought along side his fellow Councilors: Raga 'Fersamee, Zuka 'Anthanee, and Zuka Rasamee.

Attitude
Baracuss has a very... uncontrolable temper, but because of this temper he has flown through ranks of the Covenant quickly and without question or doubt.
