After the Covenant's betrayal of the [[Sangheili]] and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], the squad led by First Blade [[Resa 'Azavayl]] dedicated themselves to eliminating all [[Jiralhanae]], as well as any forces under their control. Notably, the Silent Shadow wiped out a Jiralhanae [[pack]] in an armory on the fourth [[moon]] of [[Victors' Truth]], runaway Jiralhanae forces aboard the stolen [[Covenant corvette]] ''[[Adherent]]'', "butchers" encamped in a resource enclave in the northern highlands of [[Thalia]], Covenant holdouts aboard a derelict colonial substation in the low orbit of [[Sansar]], and the last remaining members of [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]]' crew aboard the [[Covenant cruiser]] ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''.<ref name="tfs"/> | After the Covenant's betrayal of the [[Sangheili]] and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], the squad led by First Blade [[Resa 'Azavayl]] dedicated themselves to eliminating all [[Jiralhanae]], as well as any forces under their control.

At some point, the Silent Shadow embarked on a mission to eliminate Jiralhanae aboard the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''. Unbeknownst to the Silent Shadow, ''Elegy's Lament'' was crewed by the [[Banished]] and commanded by the faction's chief, [[Atriox]]. Infiltrating the [[corvette]], the Silent Shadow eliminated several Jiralhanae before entering the ship's [[bridge]]. Despite being [[Active camouflage|cloaked]], the Banished detected the Sangheili's infiltration and Atriox noticed the assassins' arrival when they entered the bridge. Atriox offered the members of the Silent Shadow a place within the Banished, where they would serve as warriors and fight under their own free will. While the other members of the Silent Shadow were greatly tempted by Atriox's offer, 'Azavayl refused, citing that Atriox and the Banished deserved death for their "sins". | At some point, the Silent Shadow embarked on a mission to eliminate Jiralhanae aboard the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''.

"I am not Tartarus or some fanatic. I am not Truth. I am not Regret. I am their remedy."''</ref> He also offered the members of the Silent Shadow a place within the Banished, where they would serve as warriors and fight under their own free will. While the other members of the Silent Shadow were greatly tempted by Atriox's offer, 'Azavayl refused, citing that Atriox and the Banished deserved death for their "sins". The rest of the Silent Shadow squad tried to convince 'Azavayl that Atriox and the Banished were "other", but to no avail.<ref>''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]'', ''[[Hunting Party]] - | |||
"Agreed. Atriox is of a kind with our enemies, but he is OTHER, and an ally worth considering."''</ref> As 'Azavayl moved to attack, he was slain by the rest of his squad, who desired to join the Banished. Afterwards, Atriox allowed the remaining members of the Silent Shadow to join the Banished, offering to reward them with "blood and sport and spoils".<ref name="tfs"/> | |||
