But I saw one there - it must have been deleted. ~Epeu

Fix
I saw a HUGE oversite here. Lepidus is never mentioned as a Chieftain. He's also never mentioned as the commander of the whole fleet. Also that brute pictured is not know to be Lepidus. If Lepidus is infact a chieftain then the Brute in that picture cannot be him, he's a captain (compare his armor style to that of the captains, the headress is identical.) For now i have gone with the theory that the brute torturing Ackerson is Lepidusa so i have changed him to captain. --Ajax 013 17:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Hes wearing red/purple armour, is it possible hes a security officer? In Contact Harvest and on Tartarus page it states he wore scarlet armour and was head of security on Rapid Conversion. The only other red armoured ranks are chieftan and brute major. From Chris 11:00, 27 January 08 (GMT)

Behind the Scenes
Added a little note. Lepidus was a Roman politician/general who was part of the triumvirate that ruled Rome right before the big war w/ Egypt, after which Rome became an Empire. Just some interesting little gee whiz stuff.

ED- I reinserted my factoid about Lepidus. I feel that it is interesting, and potentially pertinant, as often times when a fictional character is named after an important historical figure, it is for a reason (i.e. the creator feels that the character embodies many of the same qualities as the person they are named after). Lepidus was a superb general who also was one of three men controling the most powerful nation then in existance. Please don't delete it again. I mean, it's not like "historical reference" sections are w/out precedent on halopedia. Don't believe me? Just look at the page for the UNSC Brasidas, UNSC Stalingrad, UNSC Iwo Jima, or any of the other many articles with similar sections.

Lepidus is Clearly Alive
At the end of Uprising, Lepidus is alive and again Torturing Ackerson, probably about to finish him off. However, Lepidus is still alive. After he speaks with the Prophet of truth he left back to Triumphant Declaration. If he was killed it likely was not until the events of Halo 3.
