==Biography== 
===Military career=== 
Licinus was a part of [[Maccabeus]]' pack and served on the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]] ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. Licinus and [[Vorenus]] often served as Maccabeus' personal bodyguards.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 232''</ref> 

After recovering the [[deacon]] [[Dadab]] and Huragok [[Lighter Than Some]], the crew of the ''Rapid Conversion'' discovered the [[human]] [[agriculture world|agricultural colony]] of [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi system]]. Maccabeus assessment of the planet with the ships [[Luminary]] showed thousands of relics, but the devout Chieftain was soon shocked to learn that Dadab believed that there was an [[Monitor|oracle]] located on the planet. After a violent encounter with the [[Kig-Yar]], the humans on Harvest sent the ship's crew a message, detailing that humans wanted peace and wished to give the aliens a peace offering.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 229''</ref>

===Battle of Harvest=== 
{{Main|First Battle of Harvest}}
Licinus was one of the first official representatives of the Covenant to meet with the humans. Licinus accompanied [[Maccabeus]] and [[Vorenus]] to Harvest's surface in an attempt to create a peace treaty with the humans. The negotiations failed when the [[Unggoy]] [[Yull]], lead by [[Tartarus]], grew nervous, broke rank and made an early attack on a group of militia recruits and killed [[Osmo]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 213''</ref> In the confusion, Licinus' energy shields were damaged by Harvest's militia forces and he was shot twice in the chest, puncturing one of his lungs. The Jiralhanae fell back to a [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit dropship]] with the others where Vorenus and Maccabeus treated Licinus' injuries by putting a stabilizing sheet onto his chest that would help his lung re-inflate.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 258''</ref> 

Licinus was likely killed in the engagement on Harvest's [[Tiara]] by the [[Harvest militia|colonial militia]].
