Biography[edit]

Skirmish on Infinite Succor[edit]

Main article: Skirmish on Infinite Succor

Bero 'Kusovai was a renowned swordsman, earning the "-ai" suffix on his name.[2][3] He would later go on to serve in the Covenant military as a part of Covenant Special Operations, and by 2552 was deployed within the Fleet of Particular Justice. 'Kusovai was known to fight practice duels with Rtas 'Vadumee. While on deployment aboard Seeker of Truth during the Battle of Installation 04, Bero was a part of the SpecOps unit commanded by Commander Rtas 'Vadumee, and were tasked with investigating unusual signals from the Mjern-pattern agricultural support ship Infinite Succor. Upon boarding the ship, the SpecOps strike team found themselves facing down the Flood parasite, which had successfully managed to infect the fauna held within the ship's hunting preserves. The strike team fended off the infected and fought their way through to the ship's bridge, where they found the controls had been disabled by the ship's Legate, the Minister of Etiology. The group then began fighting their way through Flood forces to the ship's medical bay to meet up with the Legate and re-enable the self-destruct - with 'Vadumee threatening to kill the San'Shyuum to allow the mission to proceed.[1]

— An infected Bero to Rtas 'Vadumee

'Kusovai was eventually infected by the Flood and fought the uninfected Rtas 'Vadumee. The Flood were almost able to make a Slipspace jump out of the system, but not before Rtas 'Vadumee changed the course so that the ship flew towards the sun. 'Vadumee, while fighting the infected 'Kusovai, was injured as an Energy Sword cut off his left mandibles. 'Vadumee defeated 'Kusovai and managed to escape two minutes before the Slipspace Jump occurred. Rtas 'Vadumee is believed to be the only survivor of the Infinite Succor mission, as all members of Rtas' team and the original crew of the craft, as well as the legate on board, were presumably killed and absorbed by the Flood. If not, they were killed when the ship jumped into the system's sun.[1]

Rank[edit]

'Kusovai held the military rank of sub-commander, and his armor color was shown in blueish-green, alongside Rtas 'Vadumee. It is most likely that he was only subordinate to 'Vadumee in his unit.

Name[edit]

Unlike most Sangheili warriors, Kusovai's name does not possess the "-ee" suffix. Rather, his name bears the "-ai" suffix, which denotes swordsmanship. His case is similar to Tulum 'Juranai and Toha 'Sumai's, who are also master swordsmen.[2][3]
