| ===Serving the Covenant===
| | Parg Vol was born [[2481|July 24, 2481]] on [[Malurok]], also known as Decided Heart. In the [[Covenant]] he was a [[Field Master]], despite his hatred of the [[Jiralhanae]] and [[San 'Shyuum]], he opposed [[Thel Vadam]]'s alliance with humanity, believing the Sangheili should have wiped out humanity completely. |
| Parg Vol was born to [[Clan Vol]] on [[2481|July 24, 2481]] on [[Malurok]], a [[Sangheili]] base world. Vol served the [[Covenant|Covenant Empire]] as a [[field master]] within the Covenant's guard. In [[2552#November|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 [[human]]s, believing the Sangheili should have wiped out humanity completely as well.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} | |

| ===Draetheus V=== | | ===Draetheus V=== |
| After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Vol enlisted with [[Merg Vol]] when his kin's [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] launched an [[Battle of Draetheus V|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-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] stole Vol's personal {{Pattern|R'shwupa|Phantom}} from his camp while the Sangheili was away.{{Ref/Reuse|hsa21}} 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 {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}} bombardment. Despite his efforts, Palmer succeeded in hijacking the Phantom and traveling to X50,{{Ref/Level|Id=hsa22|SA|Mission 22: The Scorching of the Thicket|The Scorching of the Thicket}} where she assassinated Merg Vol. The battle was soon lost for the Covenant and the remnant fell apart.{{Ref/Level|Id=hsa25|SA|Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon}} | | After the [[Human-Covenant War]], in [[2554]], he was the commanding officer on [[Draetheus V]] during the [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Battle of Draetheus V|attack on the planet]]. As his personal [[Phantom gunboat|Phantom]] was being stolen by [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]], he ordered a frontal assault including [[Type-26 Wraith]] bombardment.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 22: The Scorching of the Thicket]]''</ref> |

| After the battle, Vol worked in arms deals and hit contracts before consolidating a small task force under [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]], joining solely due to his hatred of humanity.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} | | After the battle, Parg Vol worked in arms deals and hit contracts before consolidating a force under [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]], joining solely due to his hatred of humanity.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 29''</ref> |

| ==Personality and traits== | | ==Trivia== |
| Parg Vol was a ruthless [[Sangheili]] warrior and [[terrorist]]. With the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], Vol came to despise the [[San'Shyuum]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] for their treachery. However, he also opposed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s alliance with [[human]]ity, believing the Sangheili should wipe out the humans entirely as well. Though Vol was never particularly fervent in following the [[Covenant religion]], he joined [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant]], as his volatile hatred for humans aligned extremely well with 'Mdama's cause.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} | | *Parg Vol is the first Sangheili to be identified by name in-game. |
| | | *He may be related to [[Merg Vol]]. |
| ==Equipment==
| |
| Parg Vol wore a [[Sangheili Warrior#Armor|Warrior-class combat harness]], featuring an elaborate helmet, high-framed greaves, and raised-claw armor that was largely ornamental. Vol often carried a heavy weapon for protection, such as the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
| |
| | |
| ==Production notes==
| |
| It is possible to complete ''[[Catherine/Hunting Trip|Hunting Trip]]'' without killing Vol, although he has to be protected and forced into cover when the airstrike happens.
| |
| | |
| The "Parg Vol" [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplate]] unlockable in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' claims in its description that Parg is the brother of [[Merg Vol]] and (jokingly) another sibling named "Blarg".
