==Biography==
==Biography==
===Banished veteran===
Balkarus served in a trusted position within the [[Banished]] for multiple years, even accompanying [[Atriox]] himself on several critical missions. In recent years, he attempted to leverage his standing to earn a place in the [[Bloodstars#Banished|Banished Bloodstars]]. Despite failing to join the elite unit, Balkarus still distinguished himself among his fellow officers for his ferociousness in battle and for his tendency to execute his own solders for showing even the slightest bit of hesitancy in combat.{{Ref/Reuse|Target08}}

On [[2559|March 30, 2559]], he made an announcement to the [[Unggoy]] under his command wherein he attempted to quash the rumor that [[Alice-130|a lone Spartan]] had lately been responsible for freeing prisoners near a water treatment structure on [[Installation 00]]. The rumor had recently resulted in the attempted desertion of two [[Unggoy]] and some were even saying the [[demon]] had been the [[John-117|Master Chief]] himself.<ref name="AW">''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', [[Phoenix Log]] - A Warning</ref>

Balkarus was among a cast of warriors, along with [[Jato 'Ratum]], [[Okro 'Vagaduun]], and [[Zeretus]], picked by Atriox himself to return to the galaxy with him. The group boarded Atriox's personal [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich|Lich]], ''[[Pegoras]]'', and went through the portal on [[Installation 00]] to [[Reach]] to meet with [[Escharum]] and was introduced to [[Castor]] by [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] when he departed. Eventually, the group departed Reach on Eschuram's [[Intrusion corvette]] after the remaining [[Keepers of the One Freedom|Keepers]] took Atriox's Lich back through the Portal.{{Ref/Novel|SOR}}
