'''''Halo: Rise of Atriox''''' is a comic book anthology produced by [[Dark Horse Comics]]. A tie-in to the ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' video game, ''Rise of Atriox'' is a five-chapter mini-series that delves into the past of the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord [[Atriox]], exploring his rise from [[Covenant]] soldier to ruthless Chieftain of the [[Banished]] [[Covenant remnants|faction]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/rockin-railin '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Rockin' & Railin' '']</ref> Thematically, the stories continue on from the ''[[Hunting Party]]'' short featured in [[2016]]'s ''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]'' graphic novel, which also explores some of the early rise of the Banished.

==Plot synopsis==
''Halo: Rise of Atriox'' chronicles the brutal ascent of Atriox, a Jiralhanae warrior who defied the Covenant and forged a new path. Once a loyal soldier sent on suicidal missions during the Covenant's [[War of Annihilation]], Atriox awakens to the manipulation and expendability imposed by the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]' [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]] and dares to rebel. His defiance, once thought impossible, becomes legend in the eyes of the disillusioned. As the leader of the Banished gathers followers and seeks new potential allies, his faction's reputation grows, earning them both fear and respect across the [[Milky Way|galaxy]]. Through cunning, strength, and unshakable resolve, Atriox builds an empire that challenges the very foundations of Covenant control.
