History

During the Battle for Zeta Halo, the Sangheili Warlord Chak 'Lok used these machines at his fortress, the Tower, to brutally torture and interrogate human POWs, including Spartan Hudson Griffin and combat medic Lucas Browning. On May 28, 2560, Master Chief John-117 stormed the Tower and discovered Spartan Griffin being tortured inside one of these machines. After killing Chak 'Lok, the Chief freed Griffin from the machine. Unfortunately, Griffin died from his injuries shortly thereafter.[2]

Later, Escharum had Fernando Esparza placed inside one of these machines at the House of Reckoning.[1] He then broadcasted Esparza's torture live via hologram to John-117 in order to force the Master Chief into a final confrontation.[3] During his battle with the Master Chief, Escharum linked his personal energy shields to the torture machine so that any damage the Chief tried to inflict on him was transferred to Esparza instead. The Weapon exposed the relays powering Escharum's shield, enabling the Chief to destroy them and disable the shield without further harming Esparza. After defeating Escharum, John-117 and the Weapon freed Esparza from the machine.[1]
