Becoming the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] of his [[pack]] after climbing the ranks of [[Jiralhanae]] society, Cethegus led his pack for decades. During his career, he outwitted [[Kig-Yar]] mercenaries and served in numerous battles across [[human colonies]] throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]]. As the [[Great Schism]] dawned on [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], Cethegus gladly followed the [[San'Shyuum]] in their betrayal of the [[Sangheili]]. However, after [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]] [[Tartarus]]' demise on [[Installation 05]] at the hands of [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], a power vacuum was left behind, which Cethegus sought to occupy.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | Becoming the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] of his [[pack]] after climbing the ranks of [[Jiralhanae]] society, Cethegus led his pack for decades.

On [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], Cethegus and his pack were among the Covenant forces brought to [[Installation 00]] alongside the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|fleet]]. As the [[Battle of Installation 00]] began, Truth moved to initiate the [[Great Journey]] by firing the [[Halo Array]] while the Covenant attempted to destroy attacking [[human]] and Sangheili forces.

Cethegus regrouped with the [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s of his pack, where he exchanged communications with Truth. Meanwhile, the Spartan killed the Stalkers and moved towards Cethegus' position.

Cethegus was a [[Jiralhanae]] devoted to the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant religion|religion]] and a loyal follower of the [[San'Shyuum]]. As his time as [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]], he led his [[pack]] with fervent conviction and fierce renown. An opportunistic Jiralhanae, Cethegus aggressively climbed through the ranks of Jiralhanae society with a mixture of cunning and bloodlust. However, after attaining the title of chieftain, Cethegus found that further opportunity to advance eluded him. After [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]] [[Tartarus]]' death, the resulting power vacuum finally created a way for Cethegus to rise. After the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] personally ordered him to kill [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] in single combat, Cethegus saw it as his divine hour, believing he would advance to the position Tartarus once filled if he proved successful.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | Cethegus was a [[Jiralhanae]] devoted to the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant religion|religion]] and a loyal follower of the [[San'Shyuum]].
