|
| '''Yayap''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Grunt]] in the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. He later became the black armoured [[SpecOps Elite]] [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s personal assistant.
| |
|
| |
| Yayap was born on the methane filled [[Grunt]] home world, [[Balaho]], to which he continually dreams about returning to. <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 60</ref> Yayap was a [[Major Grunts|Major]] assigned to a sleepy Grunt unit, commanding others of his race, including [[Gagaw]]. However, during the boarding of the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' (during the events of the first Halo encounter), [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] was incapacitated by a bullet shot by the [[Master Chief]]. Yayap and his team of [[Grunt]]s found him still alive and decided to bring him back to the boarding ships; so they could be allowed to escape the fighting on board the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and live. <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', pages 32/33</ref> After [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] regained consciousness, he decided to have Yayap transferred to be his personal aid; his own was killed in the fight aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Yayap was understandably less than elated at this exchange of hands, because [[Elite]]s were notorious for not caring about their own lives and even less for the lives of those placed under their charge. <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', pages 61/62</ref>

|
| |
| ''NOTE: At this moment it can be assumed that Yayap becomes one of the [[Special Ops Grunts]].''
| |
|
| |
| [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] then went before a small Council situated on [[Installation 04|Halo]] to request permission to kill the specially armored human ([[Master Chief]]) who was solely responsible for scores of Covenant casualties; he is denied. However, after a boarding assault on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' retrieves [[Captain Jacob Keyes]] and takes out several hundred [[Covenant]] warriors, his request is reconsidered and granted.
| |
|
| |
| Yayap then followed [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] to the security center of [[The Silent Cartographer]] where he attempted to kill the [[Master Chief]] using a pair of [[Lekgolo|Hunters]] and some [[Grunts]] under Yayap's command. However, one of the [[Grunts]], named [[Linglin]], accidentally killed one of the [[Hunters]], allowing the [[Master Chief]] to overcome the force. Yayap narrowly avoided being killed when [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] pulled him into a cargo pod.
| |
|
| |
| He was then used as the bait for [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s next plan. He was beaten up and laid out next to a crashed [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]] on a path where the human resistance insurgents would find him, carrying a few [[Memory Block]]s and some [[Feeding Nipple|food]] to ensure he would not be killed by the [[humans]]. He was then captured by [[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]] and, unbeknownst to her, carried a transmitter that he activated once he saw the Chief, allowing [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] and [[Noga 'Putumee]] to land forces at [[Alpha Base]]. The attack was a failure, forcing him to escape with [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] aboard a [[Banshee]]. He actually had to point a [[Plasma Pistol]] at the [[Elite]]'s head so as to convince him to retreat.
| |
|
| |
| They then traveled to the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'s'' crash site so that Yayap could get a supply of [[methane]]. They assigned him to inspect cargo and command a group of [[Jackals]]. At first, the [[Jackal]]s were disgusted of being under his command, calling him a "gas sucker" but their minds changed after their leader ,[[Bok]], was killed by a group of [[Flood]] that were contained thanks to Yayap's vigilance. Yayap the [[Grunt]] was elevated, in their eyes, to honorary [[Jackal]].
| |
|
| |
| He was finally assigned to monitor communications for [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] when the Chief was detected aboard the ship upon his destruction of the bridge security team. Knowing that [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] would not win a battle with the Spartan, he packed a day's worth of food plus a tank of methane onto a ghost, steered the vehicle out of the [[Pillar of Autumn]], and found a sense of peace.
| |
|
| |
| He was supposedly killed in the explosion of the ''Autumn'''s fusion engines which caused the destruction of [[Installation 04]]. However, his true fate is unknown and he may still be alive, somehow. As First Strike indicated, Cortana's first few searches only picked up "Dust and Echoes," but eventually, survivors of Halo's explosion were found. It is still possible that Yayap is still alive, but the chances are far beyond very slim.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In '[[Halo 3]]', one of the outcries by other Grunts when a Grunt was killed is "You killed Yayap!" This may be a joke or it's possible that "Yayap" is a common Grunt name.
| |
| *In Contact Harvest it is mentioned that [[Bapap]] is Yayap's cousin.
| |
| *Yayap never wanted to fight.
| |
| *It's speculated the [[Thirsty Grunt]] is Yayap, which is impossible because Yayap was outside of the vessel and in a Ghost when its fusion engines went critical.
| |
| *Yayap is one of the only [[Grunts]] to have had command over another species of [[Covenant]].
