The Keepers of the One Freedom are a militant religious cult devoted to the worship of the Forerunners based on [[Venezia]]. The Keepers are unusual among post-Covenant factions in that they welcome human followers to their ranks, provided they swear to oppose the "heretic tyranny" of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. Because of this, the Keepers quickly gained popularity within the [[Outer Colonies]] after the Covenant War. As of July 2553, they were also supported by separatist elements within [[Gao]]'s planetary government, namely minister [[Arlo Casille]], who covertly supplied them with money and weapons.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 62'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | The Keepers of the One Freedom are a militant religious cult devoted to the worship of the Forerunners based on [[Venezia]].

This assembly of Sangheili forces was a short-lived predecessor to the more prominent faction led by Arbiter Thel 'Vadam. At the onset of the Great Schism, [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] summoned all Sangheili to the base world [[Joyous Exultation]] for an emergency meeting. 'Wattinree revealed the Prophets' treachery to his comrades and issued a fleet-wide missive of an alliance among the Sangheili to destroy both the Prophets and their Jiralhanae allies. With the exception of [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]]'s fleet, the entirety of this force was destroyed by a UNSC [[NOVA bomb]] during the summit.<ref name="goo">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 239-245''</ref> Meanwhile, the survivors were wiped out at Onyx by the Forerunner world's automated defenses. | This assembly of Sangheili forces was a short-lived predecessor to the more prominent faction led by Arbiter Thel 'Vadam.

After the end of the [[Human-Covenant war|war]], several former Covenant members that were loyal to the Covenant during the [[Great Schism]] sought revenge against the Sangheili.<ref>''Halo: Fractures'' - ''Halo: Shadow of Intent'' - Page 133 - "And I promise the Sangheili will pay for everything they have done"</ref> Predominantly composed of Jiralhanae, this faction was led by [[San'Shyuum]] [[Tem'Bhetek]] and [[Boru'a'Neem]].
