Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

Main article: Meluth'qelos-pattern energy sword

The Duelist Energy Sword is a variant of the Meluth'qelos-pattern fireblade. It has a white hilt, and its plasma blade has a deeper blue coloration. It has a lightweight frame, allowing users to be more agile in their movement,[6][7] though not in their running speed.[8]

Usage[edit]

The Duelist Energy Sword was carried and used by Toha 'Sumai, a renowned Sangheili blademaster. The weapon was taken from 'Sumai some time prior to March 2555, when his former-student Okro 'Vagaduun assassinated the blademaster. The weapon was used by 'Sumai to defend himself from 'Vagaduun in a martial duel done as part of 'Vagaduun's initiation into the Banished, with one of Atriox's core teachings being to reject honour and all previous loyalties. Following 'Sumai's death, 'Vagaduun retrieved the Duelist Energy Sword from his former master's body and proceeded to carry it throughout his career in the Banished.[9]

During the Zeta Halo campaign in 2559-2560, 'Vagaduun used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though he was defeated and ultimately killed by the Spartan.[10]
