Tul 'Juran is the daughter of Tulum 'Juranai and scion of his keep on the Sangheili frontier colony of Rahnelo. In 2553, she joined Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum on his hunt for Tem'Bhetek, a San'Shyuum prelate who had assaulted Rahnelo. After helping the shipmaster destroy a superweapon that the San'Shyuum planned to use on Sanghelios, Rtas 'Vadum informed Arbiter Thel 'Vadam of Tul 'Juran's valor and combat ability during the mission. In response, 'Vadam eased restrictions on female service within the Swords of Sanghelios.

These human-like traits caught the attention of ONI, particularly Admiral Serin Osman, who would assign the Sangheili various missions that would have him infiltrate Covenant splinter factions.

As part of its assignment, Mendicant Bias was tasked with conducting the first test-firing of a Halo ring, specifically Installation 07. This mission would bring him into contact with the ancient Precursor known as the Primordial, who would make use of the logic plague to turn Mendicant Bias against its creators. Ultimately, a second ''Contender''-class ancilla called Offensive Bias would be created to counter its traitorous counterpart.

However, upon exiting slipspace, they were ambushed by a Banished force led by Atriox himself. The UNSC was defeated and the survivors were marooned on the Halo, struggling to survive for months afterward.

By 2558, he had outlived his usefulness to ONI, who sent a Spartan-III to assassinate him.

Despite the logistical challenges of transporting a vehicle of this size, the tank quickly found a niche among Marines and Army units, where it was utilized in an anti-armor capacity against Insurrectionists. The outbreak of the Human-Covenant War saw the Grizzly further cement itself as the UNSC's premier anti-armor weapons platform, contesting alien armored vehicles so effectively that the Covenant often had to rely on naval assets to defeat them. While the Grizzly is still in service following the war, the UNSC began to field this tank far less often even as the war came to a close, largely due to its exorbitant cost, stringent maintenance requirements, and difficulty of transportation.}

+{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Vema 'Togad|File:H2A Terminals - Prophet-Elite War Arbiter.jpg|Undeniably one of the influential figures in Sangheili history, Arbiter Vema 'Togad met with the San'Shyuum delegation when they made first contact with the Sangheili on Ulgethon in 938 BCE. Discovering that they intended to disturb the planet's Forerunner artifacts, 'Togad beheaded the San'Shyuum delegation. This action ignited the War of Beginnings, a conflict that raged for nearly a century. Ultimately, a peace was brokered between the two species and the Covenant was formed. Vema 'Togad's ferocity in battle inspired the San'Shyuum to preserve the title of Arbiter.}}

Generally used in tandem with Retriever Sentinels in the construction of Halo installations, large portal complexes, and other similar structures, Assembler Sentinels are not designed for combat. However, in the event of a Flood outbreak, Assemblers will suspend their activities to engage the parasite using their powerful gravitic grapplers and warship-grade energy projectors.}}

+{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Jerome-092|File:Jerome Halo Wars 2 leader portait.png|Born Jerome Cable on the tough inner colony of Minister, he was forced into a violent life of crime even at an early age. Although he initially tried to escape from the Spartan-II program, Jerome-092 proved to be a top candidate for the program and one of its four greatest emerging leaders. When it came time for the Spartans to undergo augmentations, Jerome's body rejected the changes, resulting in his rehabilitation and re-augmentation alongside Douglas-042 and Alice-130. Jerome led these two Spartans—now known as Red Team—during Battle of Arcadia in 2531 when the team linked up with the UNSC Spirit of Fire. They would fight the Covenant on Trove and eventually the Banished on the Ark, where Captain Cutter granted Jerome the acting rank of commander.}}

+{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|UNSC ''Spirit of Fire''|File:HW2-SoF.jpg|Launched in 2473 as a colony vessel, the ''Spirit of Fire'' assisted in the foundation of settlements on colonies like Arcadia and Verent. With increasing Insurrectionist activity among the Outer Colonies, the vessel was requisitioned by the UNSC and refit for combat duty. However, these upgrades would see use following the onset of the Human-Covenant War instead. Under the command of Captain James Cutter, the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' played a pivotal role in the Harvest campaign, the First Battle of Arcadia, and the Battle of Trove. After the battle at the shield world, the vessel found itself adrift for 28 years until arriving at the Ark where the ship and its crew are still locked in combat with the Banished.}}

+{{Halopedia:Main Page/Random/Layout|Itho 'Hesiikee|File:Executioner.png|Tasked to lead Jiralhanae, Itho 'Hesiikee served as Atriox's commanding officer in 2549, sending his clan into combat forty Jiralhanae at a time. Each time, Atriox was the only warrior to return from battle. When it became clear that Atriox's hatred of the Covenant and his influence over other Jiralhanae posed a threat, 'Hesiikee decided to execute him. Returning alone from one last suicide mission, Atriox was brought before 'Hesiikee, who declared him a heretic and a traitor. However, when 'Hesiikee tried to execute Atriox, the Jiralhanae caught his blade and killed the Sangheili with his own weapon. In that moment, the Banished were born. After this confrontation, Atriox took 'Hesiikee's energy sword and reforged some of its components to create Chainbreaker, his custom gravity mace which would inspire the Banished's logo.}}

Commonly crewed by those who had been condemned for their disloyalty or disobedience, a posting aboard a ''Sinaris''-pattern heavy destroyer was considered to be a viable method of the faithful returning to the rolls of honor after previously disgracing themselves. Despite the vessel's distinct focus on naval combat, the ''Sinaris''-pattern was also equipped with sufficient complements of aircraft and infantry to assist in planetary occupation duties. Following the war, these warships continue to see service within the naval forces of the Swords of Sanghelios and other remnant factions.}}

Tensions on Reynes escalated from protests to the formation of an insurrectionist cell led by Kinsano herself. However, when the Covenant attacked Reynes and the UNSC helped to resettle the colony's refugees, Kinsano began to change her stance on the UNSC and eventually enlisted in the Marine Corps to fight humanity's common enemy. Kinsano found herself serving in the Hellbringers, a specialized detachment of the ODST Special Tactics and Equipment Group. Rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, she now leads the Firestorm Battle Group aboard the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire''.}}

In 2558, Dr. Catherine Halsey, who was in possession of the Janus Key, nearly succeeded in taking control of the archive. However, with the help of several Spartan-IVs, Invariant Bias regained control and confiscated the Janus Key. After the defeat of the Harbinger in 2560, Invariant Bias was contacted by Adjutant Revendicate, one of Installation 07's submonitors. Instead of requesting access, Adjutant Revendicate deposited information pertaining to the Xalanyn into the Absolute Record's archives, hoping it would be useful in case they were freed.}}

Initially colonized by the great sea clans of Sangheili history, the Covenant would later build enormous structures across the world's surface, citadels that would serve the highest echelon of military personnel, second only to the towers of High Charity itself. During the construction of these massive complexes, countless Forerunner fuel and power facilities were discovered in Feldokra's ocean trenches. The planet's deep seas also host several mines where precious materials are collected and used in the production of military hardware.}}
