A Bloodblade[Note 1] is the name provided to red-colored fireblades used by the Covenant and itsremnants.[6][7]
Overview
Design details
Bloodblades are not exclusive to a specific pattern of fireblade, as they have been seen as Meluth'qelos-pattern fireblades[8], Pelosus-pattern fireblades,[9][10] and two unidentified patterns.[11][12]
Usage
Bloodblades were used by some Special Operations Sangheili,[3][13] such as the Silent Shadow.[14][6] One of their known uses was at the Battle of Algolis, during the Human-Covenant War, in the attempted execution of Atriox.[10] They were also seen in the defense of a Covenant moon base.[13] Bloodblades were also in use with the Banished, with one being in the possession of Jega 'Rdomnai as his personal energy sword during the Battle for Zeta Halo in 2560.[8] After he was defeated by John-117, the Spartan kept 'Rdomnai's personal Bloodblade as a memento.[15][16]
They were also sometimes used in the UNSC's War Games simulation, for example in Infection sessions.[9][17]
In-game information
