"Thrallslayer"[2] was a highly ranked Jiralhanae chieftain and commander within the Covenant's military.[1] Possessing uncanny intelligence that complimented his violent nature, he is a dangerous foe despite his relatively small stature.[3][4]

Biography

Thrallslayer was deployed with the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction by the Hierarchs to serve alongside Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee under the High Prophet of Regret during the Harvest campaign, despite his strong dislike of the Sangheili in general and 'Moramee in particular.[5][6] During the campaign on Harvest, he grew to respect humans for their different nature and unfailing courage in the worst of situations.[1] He enjoys eating thorn beast, which he prefers to be cooked rare, as well as hearing exaggerated tales of his adventures, told by an overweight Unggoy who serves as his official scribe. In 2528, the Army Commander tore apart two Unggoy because his thorn beast was overcooked. The Unggoy were subsequently discovered as five organic chunks strewn about his quarters.[5]

In 2531, after the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction discovered Shield World 0459, 'Moramee ordered Thrallslayer to accompany Regret when the Hierarch evacuated the shield world aboard CPV-class heavy destroyer Proclamation's Tithe. 'Moramee's intent was to prevent Thrallslayer from earning any glory in the ensuring battle against UNSC Spirit of Fire, though his actions would only ensure the chieftain's survival while the Arbiter himself perished at the hands of human forces.[2]
