Biography

Mvon 'Sraom was one of the Covenant's most storied Sangheili pilots, a legend whose deft skills at the controls of a myriad of aerial craft left an indelible mark on those who flew alongside and against him. Commanding a Banshee christened "Saban'amnsir" ("Red Fang"), Mvon was responsible for countless human casualties, and his practiced ruthlessness saw both civilian and military targets fall to his pinpoint plasma fire. Though they did not know his name, the distinctive livery of the Red Fang was well known to the United Nations Space Command, and intelligence analysts soon began to take particular note of where the infamous "Baron" might pop up next.

The mystique surrounding Mvon and his Red Fang only grew larger when he seemingly vanished following the Great Schism. Over the next several years, scattered reports from across several distant outposts and colonies have appeared which appear to describe Mvon's distinctive craft and combat harness, though these accounts have not been independently confirmed. In reality, 'Sraom took up work as a vigilante and began to predate upon pirates and raiders, on one occasion coming to the aid of a Yonhet community and wiping out its would-be attackers. These actions have given the "Baron" a mixed reputation across space, with some (such as Krel) expressing their gratitude for his aid, while others hire mercenaries to hunt him down. To-date 'Sraom has fought off all of these attempts on his life, with the mercenaries' complaints directed at his skill in a Banshee and their own lacking equipment (such as old Kestrel VTOLs). Despite this, Mvon retains a courteous attitude when encountering his foes outside of the battlefield, expressing his regret at his actions in the Great War and his distaste for warmongers.

At some point, 'Sraom was active around the region of New Tyne, Venezia, frequenting The Baggage Claim. When challenged by two human mercenaries, Jono and Lemmy, he willingly paid for their drinks rather than rise to their taunts. To hide his distinctive red harness, he dons a worn, gray cloak and additionally shrouds his Banshee in an active camouflage field.
