Biography

By mid-2553, Nar 'Kulul held the title of fleetmaster in the Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire, a fleet allied with the Covenant separatist cause following the Great Schism. At this time, the fleet held position over the planet of Kostroda. Following a raid on the planet by the Banished, Enduring Conviction shipmaster Let 'Volir reported to have captured Atriox - the leader of the Jiralhanae raider group.

Fleetmaster 'Kulul instructed Let 'Volir to maintain orbit and await further commands. Around twelve hours later, 'Kulul personally hailed the Conviction to inquire as to the status of the prisoner. The only response he received was movement of the vessel that had not been authorized. One of his underlings, speaking for him, voiced indignation over this action and asked about Atriox again with an order to reply at once. Hearing nothing, this Sangheili warned that further silence would be interpreted as hostility. True to that threat, it was not long before 'Kulul directed his crew to destroy the assault carrier. It was able to evade the barrage levied against it by making a pinpoint slipspace jump and then it left the system behind entirely. Fleetmaster Arkad Nar 'Kulul assumed that Atriox had somehow taken over the ship and that 'Volir had fallen, but in reality, he and his entire crew had willingly defected to the Banished cause.

Fleetmaster Nar 'Kulul later served in the military forces of the Swords of Sanghelios, and by 2560 had risen to become one of the leaders of the Swords' home defence fleet at Sanghelios. When Sanghelios' moon Suban was attacked by the Banished in that year, the fleetmaster chose to initiate a combined-arms operation utilising Sword and allied attached Spartan supersoldiers of the United Nations Space Command, due to the Sangheili reduced strength in the wake of the Blooding Years and Created uprising. During the battle, the Banished High Warlord leading the attack on Suban requested Shipmistress Mahkee 'Chava to relay a message to Nar 'Kulul from Let 'Volir, noting that Nar 'Kulul's former underling - who was now the leader of the Banished contingent stationed on the Ark - sent his regards.
