It features heavy, industrial tones, such as what sounds like pipes, mixed with light guitar riffs and Halo's trademark messianic singing. The main song of the piece is a remix of [[A Walk in the Woods]], which was featured in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. The first part of the piece is a remix of [[The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe]] (the only recurrence of this theme outside of the first game), and also includes part of the melody of [[Enough Dead Heroes]]. The title may refer to the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]], who is a hero to his people, despite being branded as a [[Heretic]]. | |||
Also, it may refer to [[Sesa 'Refumee]], another character that is seen in a bad light by his own people and is a [[Heretic]] in the eyes of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], but is a hero in that he fought against the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]. It could also be the Master Chief since to the humans he was a hero of the humans, but a heretic and demon in the eyes of the Covenant. | |||
