Following the end of the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]] and the signing of the [[Writ of Union]], the [[Sangheili]] realized that they lacked diplomats to negotiate with the [[San'Shyuum]]. Viyo 'Griot was selected to become a diplomat and assigned to the [[Covenant]]'s [[Sangheili treaty commission]]. Viyo reorganized Covenant troop deployments within the [[Covenant fleet]] by doubling the amount of soldiers assigned to each ship. He also had Sangheili warriors deployed before San'Shyuum researchers on all expeditions for [[Forerunner]] artifacts to ensure that all relics discovered would be properly protected.<ref name="bc24">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 21-24''</ref> | Following the end of the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]] and the signing of the [[Writ of Union]], the [[Sangheili]] realized that they lacked diplomats to negotiate with the [[San'Shyuum]].

In [[851 BCE]], the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]], the [[Qurlom|Minister of Relative Reconciliation]], and the [[GuJo'n|Minister of Kindly Subjection]] met to discuss [[Ussa 'Xellus]]' rebellion on [[Sanghelios]]. Viyo 'Griot and fellow Commissioner [[Loro 'Onkiyo]] had just arrived at ''[[High Charity]]'' and were called to the [[Chamber of Decision]] by the Ministers.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 20''</ref> The two Commissioners eventually arrived in the chamber, along with two [[Sangheili Honor Guardsmen]]. After inquiring about Viyo's recent changes to troop movements, the Ministers asked the Commissioners on Ussa's insurrection. Viyo assured them that the Commission's spies would soon track down Ussa and assassinate him, with his "cult" dissolving without his leadership. However, the Prophet of Inner Conviction, aware of Ussa's strategic potential, openly doubted that the insurgency would ever truly be crushed. | In [[851 BCE]], the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]], the [[Qurlom|Minister of Relative Reconciliation]], and the [[GuJo'n|Minister of Kindly Subjection]] met to discuss [[Ussa 'Xellus]]' rebellion on [[Sanghelios]].

In [[850 BCE]], the group reconvened to discuss the death of the Commission's assassin [[Vertikus]] and the disappearance of Ussa. Viro confirmed that Ussa and his followers departed Sanghelios, though six of them decided to remain behind. The Minister of Relative Reconciliation questioned why Ussa would allow them to stay behind, but Viro informed him that Ussa was more merciful than most Sangheili. The six followers that remained were interrogated and they revealed that Ussa had left for [[the Refuge|an uncharted world]]. Viyo informed the Ministers of this information and again assured them that the Sangheili would track down Ussa and end his rebellion.<ref name="bc44">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 44-46''</ref> | In [[850 BCE]], the group reconvened to discuss the death of the Commission's assassin [[Vertikus]] and the disappearance of Ussa.

Viro 'Griot was uneasy and uncomfortable in his diplomatic position within the [[Sangheili treaty commission]]. The [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]] noted that Viro often flexed his hands and looked around uneasily, as if he was searching for a weapon at all times. Viro was very fervent follower of the [[Covenant religion]] and was insulted by [[Ussa 'Xellus]]' claims that the religion was false. | Viro 'Griot was uneasy and uncomfortable in his diplomatic position within the [[Sangheili treaty commission]].

Viro was very fervent follower of the [[Covenant religion]] and was insulted by [[Ussa 'Xellus]]' claims that the religion was false.{{Ref/Reuse|bc24}} Despite his hatred for Ussa, he was able to admit that 'Xellus was an adherent follower to the Sangheili beliefs of never surrendering, despite being unusually merciful for a Sangheili. Viro particularly disliked Ussa for calling the entire Sangheili race cowards—the greatest insult to a Sangheili—for surrendering to [[San'Shyuum]] in [[852 BCE]]. However, Viro himself was secretly ashamed that the Sangheili essentially surrendered to the San'Shyuum by signing the [[Writ of Union]].{{Ref/Reuse|bc44}} | ||
