Fal 'Chavamee

"I know they will come in force to challenge me, but I will not turn away from them. I will answer their call."

- Fal 'Chavamee

Fal 'Chavamee was a Sangheili of the Covenant Empire who served as an Arbiter and as the leader of his clan sometime before the Human-Covenant War.

Duel with Harka
'Chavamee believed that the Great Journey was a lie. When he began to openly question his race's new alliance with the Prophets, he was declared a heretic. Harka, a member of Fal's clan, took advantage of the event. In an attempt to provoke and defeat Fal, Harka forced one of Fal's closest friends into killing Fal's wife, Han.

Fal later found the bodies of his wife and friend in his home. He swiftly moved to accept Harka's challenge, brutally plowing his way through an entire Covenant Army unit to reach his wife's murderer. When Fal finally met Harka atop a Forerunner structure, the duel began. After being mortally wounded by Harka's blade, Fal managed to stab his foe. They both died by each other's hands.

Legacy
Before Fal's actions, the rank of Arbiter was considered a privilege. Fal's heresy led the Prophets to declare that the rank of Arbiter would thenceforth be one without honor, given to those who could be useful to them as a last chance to regain their lost honor before death.

Trivia
