'''Maccabeus''' was a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Chieftain]] and one of the few Jiralhanae [[Ship Master]]s prior to the [[Great Schism]]. He was honored and respected by his pack for his unshakable faith in the [[Forerunners]]. He was also the uncle to the future [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]], [[Tartarus]]. | |||

He commanded the [[Covenant]] vessel, ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'', a ship that the [[Sangheili]] had "given" him, though the Sangheili did downgrade it severely, showing their distrust in the Jiralhanae. However, he upstaged the Sangheili by taking his rebuke in turn. He was not allowed to repair any weapon systems and he was not allowed to have a [[Huragok]] on board. Although he was allowed to have a mechanical lift system on his ship, Maccabeus decided to remove it and replace them with multiple, crude ladders as a deliberate affront to the Sangheili (as the shape of their knees gave them great difficulty when climbing). <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 194</ref> | Maccabeus ascended to the leadership of [[Maccabeus Clan|his pack]] the way all Jiralhanae did: by challenging his Chieftain, at the time his own father. In a mortal duel, Maccabeus's father submitted to the his death, happy to die by the hands of a loved one.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'' page 344</ref> He commanded the [[Covenant]] vessel, ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'', a ship that the [[Sangheili]] had "given" him, though the Sangheili did downgrade it severely, showing their distrust in the Jiralhanae.
