Maccabeus' clan

Maccabeus' clan was a prominent and well-known Jiralhanae clan serving in the Covenant military. The clan fought during the First Battle of Harvest, being attached to the cruiser Rapid Conversion at that time.

The clan, as their name implies, was led by Maccabeus, who was soon killed by Tartarus. Tartarus then gained control of the pack, and he later became the Chieftain of the Brutes.

History
The clan was one of the most prominent clans on Doisac. Maccabeus ascended to the leadership of the clan the way all Jiralhanae did: by challenging and defeating the Chieftain in combat, at the time his own father. When the Covenant discovered Doisac, Maccabeus and his clan eagerly embraced the San 'Shyuum's promise of the Great Journey. The clan were given command of the Covenant vessel, Rapid Conversion, a ship that the Sangheili had "given" them, though the Sangheili did downgrade it severely, showing their distrust in the Jiralhanae. They were not allowed a Huragok, instead Yanme'e served as maintenance.
