'''Lepidus''' was a powerful [[Jiralhanae]] Shipmaster of the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]'' in the [[Fleet of Furious Redemption]]. He was the first [[Covenant]] to hear of the ''[[Key of Osanalan]]''. He led some of the forces in the [[Second Battle of Earth]], precisly in the [[Battle of Cleveland]], where his troops tried to find the ''[[key of Osanalan|Key]]''. It is assumed he was killed in either the above battle, or in the [[Battle of the Ark]], but it is still unknown.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/images/News/WeeklyUpdate/1Uprisingp8.jpg Bungie Weekly Update: 8-10-2007]</ref>

==Biography==
===Battle of Cleveland===
{{Main|Battle of Cleveland}}
Lepidus was the first member of the Covenant to hear of the [[Key of Osanalan]] after torturing [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]]. He then informed the [[High Prophet of Truth]] of the Key, which sparked the [[Battle of Cleveland]].{{Ref/Reuse|is1}} He then reported to the High Prophet of Truth aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], where the [[John-117|Master Chief]] attempted to assassinate Truth.


==Historical References==
Truth successfully escaped, as did Lepidus, but every Covenant unit who stayed in the room was killed by John-117. Lepidus later returned aboard the ''Triumphant Declaration'' in the orbit of [[Mars]], furious at Colonel James Ackerson for tricking the Covenant into believing in the Key of Osanalan. He then beheaded Ackerson with his [[Jiralhanae combat knife|combat knife]].<ref>'''Halo: Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>

Lepidus was also the name of a Roman politician and General who, along with Octavian (later known as Emperor Augustus) and Marcus Antonious (Marc Antony) formed the Second Triumvirate, which governed the Roman Republic from 43-33 b.c.e. He was ultimately ousted from power and killed by his former friend, Augustus.

*He is a [[Brute]] [[Ship Master]], with a unique armor color.
*Lepidus' armor looks like the original [[Brute Captain]]'s armor, cut from ''[[Halo 3]]''. This is likely due to the fact that the first issue of ''[[Halo: Uprising]]'' was released before ''Halo 3''.
*Lepidus' armor looks like the original [[Brute Captain]]'s armor, cut from [[Halo 3]]: crimson.
*[[wikipedia:Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (triumvir)|Lepidus]] was also the name of a Roman politician and General who, along with Octavian (later known as Emperor Augustus) and Marcus Antonious (Marc Antony) formed the Second Triumvirate, which governed the Roman Republic from 43-33 b.c.e.
