Let 'Volir

Let 'Volir is a Sangheili mercenary of the Banished and shipmaster of Enduring Conviction, formerly serving the Covenant.

Biography
During the Human-Covenant War, Let 'Volir served in the Covenant's fleet as shipmaster of Enduring Conviction. With the dawn of the Great Schism in 2552, 'Volir and his crew left the Covenant and abandoned its religion.

With a powerful carrier and crew of veteran warriors, as well as no desire to join the Swords of Sanghelios or reformed Covenant, 'Volir soon came to the attention of Atriox, chief of the Banished. Atriox offered to fuel Enduring Conviction and supply the crew in exchange for the unquestioning loyalty of 'Volir and his crew. 'Volir reluctantly agreed, and joined forces with the Banished, becoming a mercenary. Although Atriox often teases 'Volir, he is aware that the shipmaster is a powerful tool for warfare with the fleets of Banshee fighters and the platoons of veteran Sangheili warriors 'Volir commands.

Personality and traits
Let 'Volir is a skilled and courageous commander, and believes that a captain should sacrifice everything just to keep his crew alive. He became conflicted with the dawn of the Great Schism in 2552 as he was forced to abandon the Covenant religion and battle the Covenant's Hierarchs as the Sangheili were betrayed by the empire. With the Covenant's fall later that year, 'Volir still continued to command Enduring Conviction, as he felt that it was his obligation to keep his crew alive and together. With the Covenant's demise, 'Volir fosters animosity towards virtually all of the fallen empire's successor states. While he disagrees with the Swords of Sanghelios' peace with humanity, he viewed the reformed Covenant as a falsehood that crippled his people and repressed their nature.

When approached by Atriox to join the Banished in exchange for fuel and supplies, 'Volir reluctantly agreed as he felt that there was no other option. However, he was uncomfortable with serving under Atriox, as he was used to commanding the Jiralhanae in the Covenant. Atriox often teases 'Volir about the name of his carrier, Enduring Conviction, as he believes that it is particularly ill-suited for a mercenary shipmaster.
