During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2526]] a [[Sangheili]] [[First Blade]] named [[Tel 'Szatulai]] led the [[Bloodstars]], a select group of [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s including [[Orsun]] and [[Castor]], to find and destroy [[Spartan|Demons]].<ref name="HSS18">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''Chapter 18''</ref><ref name="R">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', ''page 265''</ref> When [[Blue Team]] attempted to destroy the under construction [[Covenant supercarrier]] ''[[Hammer of Faith]]'' in its docks, Tel and several of his warriors attacked the Spartans directly.

In [[2526#June|June 2526]], the Silent Shadow were sent with the [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] to hunt down the now-renegade 'Kvarosee and his [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]]. The Silent Shadow arrived at [[Netherop]] where they got caught in the middle of [[Battle of Netherop|a conflict]] between the UNSC and 'Kvarosee who hoped to use the Spartans to get rid of the Silent Shadow. However, despite suffering heavy casualties, the Silent Shadow was able to destroy the ''[[Steadfast Strike]]'' and capture the renegade Fleetmaster, bringing in Honor Guards and a [[Sangheili Ultra]] from [[High Charity]] itself to deal with him. When 'Kvarosee claimed to no longer have the [[Luminal Beacon]]s as they were supposedly destroyed with his ships, the Ultra had 'Kvarosee and his surviving warriors stripped of their armor and exiled on Netherop. Before leaving the planet, the Silent Shadow established an orbital minefield of self-targeting [[plasma torpedo]]s that would prevent even a drop pod from landing, thus keeping 'Kvarosee from being rescued by any of his surviving loyal Shipmasters.<ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'''</ref> | In [[2526#June|June 2526]], the Silent Shadow were sent with the [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] to hunt down the now-renegade 'Kvarosee and his [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]].

After the Covenant's betrayal of the [[Sangheili]] and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], the squad led by First Blade [[Resa 'Azavayl]] dedicated themselves to eliminating all [[Jiralhanae]], as well as any forces under their control. | After the Covenant's betrayal of the [[Sangheili]] and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], the squad led by First Blade [[Resa 'Azavayl]] dedicated themselves to eliminating all [[Jiralhanae]], as well as any forces under their control. The Silent Shadow wiped out a Jiralhanae [[pack]] in an armory on the fourth [[moon]] of [[Victors' Truth]], runaway Jiralhanae forces aboard the stolen [[Covenant corvette]] ''[[Adherent]]'', "butchers" encamped in a resource enclave in the northern highlands of [[Thalia]], Covenant holdouts aboard a derelict colonial substation in the low orbit of [[Sansar]], and the last remaining members of [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]]' crew aboard the [[Covenant cruiser]] ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|tfs}} | ||
At some point, the Silent Shadow embarked on a mission to eliminate Jiralhanae aboard the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''. Unbeknownst to the Silent Shadow, ''Elegy's Lament'' was crewed by the [[Banished]] and commanded by the faction's chief, [[Atriox]]. Infiltrating the [[corvette]], the Silent Shadow eliminated several Jiralhanae before entering the ship's [[bridge]]. Despite being [[Active camouflage|cloaked]], the Banished detected the Sangheili's infiltration and Atriox noticed the assassins' arrival when they entered the bridge. Atriox stated that he and the Banished are different from the Jiralhanae that [[Great Schism|betrayed]] the Sangheili.<ref>''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]'', ''[[Hunting Party]] - | At some point, the Silent Shadow embarked on a mission to eliminate Jiralhanae aboard the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''.
