Phoenix Logs/Leaders/The Arbiter

Ripa 'Moramee

Driven to control and dominate, with a nearly insatiable bloodlust and ambition,

Ripa 'Moramee was considered a radical choice as Arbiter. Ripa came to relish

the nearly unchecked power and authority he wielded as an Arbiter, and his

fearsome reputation was known by all—including a young Covenant warrior

known as Atriox. Unbound by traditional notions of honor and loyalty, it is

possible that Atriox could have convinced Ripa to join his cause, had Ripa

survived events on Shield 0459.

As a Banished warhost leader Ripa would inspire fear and awe in those in his

dominion, reflected in the Conduit of Rage passive ability. Conduit of Rage is

triggered on the activation of leader powers, slightly healing the Arbiter's

nearby units and increasing their damage and speed for a short time.

Continuing to use leader powers extends the duration.

Ripa also had unrestricted access to experimental Stasis weapons, which

immobilize units in their area of effect for a short time, in his role as Arbiter.

Units in stasis cannot move or deal damage, but also cannot be harmed. Ripa

used these weapons to delay enemy units and—on the rare occasion he was

feeling generous—shield allies from harm.
