He took on the childhood nickname of "Tartar". Wearing the scarlet armor of a Brute Captain, the young Tartarus was part of his uncle's crew of one of the few Brute-controlled ships in the Covenant, the ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. The Sangheili did not approve of a Jiralhanae controlling a ship and had disabled many of its key features such as weaponry, gravity lifts, and other useful mechanics, but Maccabeus' faith in the [[Great Journey]] helped him turn a blind eye to this unfair treatment. Soon the Grunt Deacon [[Dadab]] and his companion [[Lighter Than Some]] found themselves on board the ''Rapid Conversion'' after escaping the destruction of their ship, the ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', a [[Kig-yar]] pirate ship. | ||
Maccabeus summoned Tartarus at the pair's explosive arrival and would later become a protector of the Engineer when the resentful [[Yanme'e]] on board set out to kill it for taking their job: repair and maintenance of the vessel. He journeyed to [[Harvest]] during the first contact between the Jiralhanae and the [[Humans]], in a staged offer of peace that soon erupted into battle. Tartarus found himself aboard a [[DX-class Dropship]] that was soon destroyed, although he did not evacuate until he had tried everything to save [[Ritul]], a young pack mate of his, from the destruction. Ritul burned to death before Tartarus could save him. | Maccabeus summoned Tartarus at the pair's explosive arrival and would later become a protector of the Engineer when the resentful [[Yanme'e]] on board set out to kill it for taking their job: repair and maintenance of the vessel.
