Bassus had long since been renowned for his brawn on the battlefield and his usage of cruelty over strategic wisdom. During the [[Siege of Dwarka|Siege of]] [[Dwarka]], he ransacked several residential sectors, making crude displays of the deceased to demoralize the human forces that he viewed as wildly inferior to the Jiralhanae. His battlefield record would lead to his sudden rise to the rank of Chieftain, where he led multiple assaults on human colony worlds. The most notable of these was on [[Kroedis II]] where he had killed a [[Minor Prophet]] after having grown tired of his self-righteous manipulation and blamed it on the UNSC forces there, resulting in the planet being [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] led by [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P455}} | Bassus had long since been renowned for his brawn on the battlefield and his usage of cruelty over strategic wisdom.

On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], Bassus, now a member of the Banished, was in charge of security at [[Site Novem]], the excavation site for the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]],{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 4|Banished Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #06 - Secrets Below}} when it was attacked by [[Spartan-II|Spartan]] [[John-117]]. After the Master Chief disabled the cooling pipes on the Banished's mining drill, Bassus was ordered to defend the site personally. When the Master Chief and [[the Weapon]] were about to destroy the drill completely, Bassus ambushed them, grabbing the Master Chief by the throat and tossing him across the room. Bassus admitted he was unimpressed with Spartans, describing them as "not so tough" and believing they break open easy. Aiming to prove the Master Chief Petty Officer is "soft inside", Bassus raised his hammer to execute him, but the Master Chief dodged the blow and engaged Bassus. After a brutal fight, the Master Chief managed to kill Bassus, allowing the Weapon to overload the mining drill and destroy it.{{Ref/Level|Id=Excavation Site|HI|[[Excavation Site]]}} | On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], Bassus, now a member of the [[Banished]], was in charge of security at [[Site Novem]], the excavation site for the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]],{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 4|Banished Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #06 - Secrets Below}} when it was attacked by [[Spartan-II|Spartan]] [[John-117]].
