- "My thinking is if we can put Vol down like a sick dog, then the galaxy's a better place."
- — Commander Sarah Palmer[4]
Parg Vol was a Sangheili warrior and terrorist, and ultimately an associate of Jul 'Mdama. Born to Clan Vol on Malurok, Vol served the Covenant guard as a field master until the Great Schism. With the Covenant's fracturing, Vol became an arms dealer and an assassin, serving first in Merg Vol's Covenant,[5][6][7] before ultimately serving Jul 'Mdama's Covenant as a commander.[1][4] However, during the Requiem Campaign of February 2558, Vol was assassinated by Fireteam Crimson.[2]
Biography[edit]
Serving the Covenant[edit]
Parg Vol was born to Clan Vol on July 24, 2481 on Malurok, a Sangheili base world. Vol served the Covenant Empire as a field master within the Covenant's guard. In November 2552, the Great Schism broke out after the Hierarchs betrayed the Sangheili. While holding a deep hatred of the Jiralhanae and San'Shyuum, he also opposed Arbiter Thel Vadam's alliance with the humans, believing the Sangheili should have wiped out humanity completely as well.[1]
Draetheus V[edit]
After the Human-Covenant War, Vol enlisted with Merg Vol when his brother's Covenant remnant launched an assault on Draetheus V in 2554. While Merg commanded the attack on the Forerunner-created moon of X50, Parg Vol served as the commanding officer of the Covenant forces on Draetheus V. Seeking a way to X50, Spartan Sarah Palmer stole Vol's personal R'shwupa-pattern Phantom from his camp while the Sangheili was away.[5] As a combat engineer bypassed the Phantom's security protocols, Vol returned to his camp and realized Palmer's intent. Vol ordered a full frontal assault on Palmer's position, including Zurdo-pattern Wraith bombardment. Despite his efforts, Palmer succeeded in hijacking the Phantom and traveling to X50,[6] where she assassinated Merg Vol. The battle was soon lost for the Covenant and the remnant fell apart.[7]
After the battle, Vol worked in arms deals and hit contracts before consolidating a small task force under Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, joining solely due to his hatred of humanity and seeking revenge for his brother's demise.[1][3]
Requiem Campaign[edit]
In February 2558, he led Covenant ground forces during the early stages of the Requiem Campaign,[4] serving as a commander.[1] Soon after securing a foothold on Requiem, the United Nations Space Command learned of Vol's location. He had been overseeing a supply dump of captured UNSC matériel in the "Quarry." Fireteam Crimson was deployed to assassinate Vol, though the Sangheili escaped aboard a Phantom as his forces engaged the Spartans.[4]
As Fireteam Crimson were extracted from the supply dump, Vol launched an attack on the
