Biography[edit]

Duel with Fal 'Chavamee[edit]

After the then-current Arbiter, Fal 'Chavamee, was declared a heretic by the Prophets, Haka sought to supplant Fal and become the head of his clan.

Haka was led by one of Fal's close friends, Roh, to Fal's wife, Han. He forced Roh to kill her, promising that his actions would save the clan from the wrath of the Covenant. After Han's death, Haka killed the servant as well, leaving their bodies as a challenge to Fal to direct combat. Engaging his opponent after the latter had slaughtered an army of Covenant ground troops, Haka mortally wounded Fal, but was in turn stabbed by the Arbiter's energy sword. Both warriors died at each others' hands.

Trivia[edit]

Haka was voiced by Josh Grelle.^[2]
Haka's clan name is unknown. Given that he was seemingly a member of Fal's clan, he was likely known as Haka 'Chavamee.
Haka's appearance is decidedly Japanese, with his armor resembling that of ancient samurai warriors. Additionally, rather than an energy sword, Haka carries a more conventional metal blade.
