Pelahsar the Strident

Pelahsar the Strident was a Sangheili leader during the first Age of Conflict, and one of the Covenant's founding fathers.

Biography
Pelahsar was born as the son of Mhelaat 'Orlam, the First Kaidon who spoke for all of Sanghelios. 'Orlam was the first to advocate for the reverse-engineering of Forerunner techonology, though the initial violent resistance ended with his assassination.

As the War of Beginnings raged on for decades, the technological superiority of the San'Shyuum's Dreadnought spurred the Sangheili race to utilize Forerunner technology to defend their worlds. As a result of the Sangheili's augmented defenses, the conflict reached a point of stalemate and eventually left both sides open to compromise. In 852 BCE, Pelahsar the Strident brokered a "tentative truce" with the Reformist San'Shyuum leader Breaking Shadow. Both leaders forgave the past crimes of their species and began working to form a harmonious alliance, one that would soon be established by the Writ of Union and become known as the Covenant.
