Naturally, any legendary hero through an average warrior's eyes is given to be of godly stature, generally through the physical trait of height, a particular example of such would be that of Odysseus of the ''Odyssey''—note how in which the story emphasizes his heroic traits, some of which are being very tall. The book itself stated the admiral's well being to be no less than a god. It's apparent that in order to demonstrate Xytan's heroism throughout the Covenant they emphasized heroic traits. To do this, they emphasize height and, to perform such, Eric Nylund hinted they might have used raised platform boots or possibly another hologram. | Naturally, any legendary hero through an average warrior's eyes is given to be of godly stature, generally through the physical trait of height, a particular example of such would be that of Odysseus of the ''Odyssey''—note how in which the story emphasizes his heroic traits, some of which are being very tall.

He was legendary and extremely illustrious amongst the soldiers of the Covenant. He had never been defeated in battle, he had never failed at any task, no matter what the challenge, and he was never wrong. His only flaw was that he had been so revered, some respected him above any [[Prophet]] and for that he had been exiled to lead a [[Fleet]] only at the fringes and outskirts of the vast Covenant Empire. | He was legendary and extremely illustrious amongst the soldiers of the Covenant.

Commanding his fleet he played a considerably large role in the [[Civil War of the Covenant]]. 'Jar Wattinree was one of the first Elite leaders to take command of the confused Elites and rally them at [[Joyous Exultation]]. There, they moved in to ambush the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and destroy them, putting an end to the Civil War before they could destroy the [[Flood]]. The Imperial Admiral had no illusions about the true nature of the [[Halo Rings]] or the Flood, still believing in the original Covenant beliefs and also plotted to wipe out the Humans and their Spartans. It's unknown whether or not Xytan kept the 'ee' suffix at the end of his name after rebelling against the Prophets. | Commanding his fleet he played a considerably large role in the [[Great Schism|Civil War of the Covenant]].

Unfortunately, his [[flagship]], ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was destroyed by a [[UNSC]] [[NOVA Bomb]] they had taken from [[Reach]]. A curious and unsuspecting [[Unggoy|Grunt]] named [[Kwassass]] activated the NOVA bomb's recording from [[Danforth Whitcomb]] several times. The NOVA bomb's control panel soon shorted, sparking an interest in the nearby [[Huragok]], who repaired the control panel and reconnected the detonator to the NOVA bomb, activating it and destroying ''Sublime Transcendence'', the majority of the nearby Covenant fleet, Joyous Exultation, and its moon [[Malhiem]]. Whether or not he was aboard the ship (or on Joyous Exultation) at that time is unknown, although he was close enough to be completely atomized by the blast<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''</ref>. | Unfortunately, his [[flagship]], ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was destroyed by a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[NOVA Bomb]] they had taken from [[Reach]].
