- "I am not Tartarus or some fanatic. I am not Truth. I am not Regret. I am their remedy."
- — Atriox to a group of would-be assassins.[6]
Atriox is the powerful Jiralhanae warmaster who leads the Banished, a violent ex-Covenant faction of mercenaries and criminals. He originally fought on behalf of the Covenant, but was banished after thwarting his own execution. A deadly warrior and brilliant military leader, Atriox inspired many others to join him in exile.[3] He has led his followers for over a decade, during which time he amassed a large amount of ordnance and materiel, especially following the collapse of the Covenant empire in 2552.[7] By 2558, he had become a symbol for even Jiralhanae not serving with the Banished to rally around.[8]
Atriox's full ambitions are unclear, but they are grandiose.[7] His largest play for power came at the end of 2558, when he led a large force to Installation 00 with the intention to use its forges to build Halos.[9] After months of occupying the Ark, the Banished were confronted by the UNSC Spirit of Fire and a battle for control of the immense Forerunner construction ensued.[3] In a matter of days, Atriox lost his right-hand man, his fleet's flagship, and a newly constructed Halo was sent through a portal to the Soell system, placing it beyond his reach.[10] With the aid of his forces outside of the Ark, Atriox later returned to his Banished forces in the Milky Way galaxy using a slipspace portal located on Reach to search for the Endless, leaving behind his troops to hold the Ark in his absence.[11] Believed to have died during the Battle for Zeta Halo, Atriox later resurfaced and discovered the Endless cylixes in 2560.[12]
Atriox serves as the namesake for several positions in his Banished such as Atriox's Chosen and the Hand of Atriox, a rank of enforcers and a special operations unit respectively.[13]
