Tul 'Juran was born on [[Rahnelo]], a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|frontier colony]], in the 2520s. She was born to [[Tulum 'Juranai]], a swordsman and the [[kaidon]] of Rahnelo's largest settlement. Most of 'Juran's brothers were conscripted into the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], resulting in the deaths of all but three of her brothers.

In [[2553]], Rahnelo was [[Attack on Rahnelo|attacked]] by {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} ''[[Spear of Light]]'', under the command of [[San'Shyuum]] [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]]. After destroying Rahnelo's [[spaceport]] and military bastions, the cruiser deployed [[Jiralhanae]] infantry to the planet's surface to engage the Sangheili residents. As the Jiralhanae slaughtered Sangheili attempting to stand their ground, 'Juran worked to aid any Sangheili she could and directed them back to her keep. While 'Juran led the keep's defense, her father and two older brothers led a charge against the Prelate and his Jiralhanae, but they were ultimately captured. The Prelate and his forces escaped shortly after and left the system. With the disappearance of her father and elder brothers, 'Juran's [[Tulum 'Juranai's youngest son|younger brother]] was given the mantle of kaidon.<ref name="soi18"/> After the attack, 'Juran and her brother gathered the bodies of the dead Sangheili to give them a funeral of sorts.

Tem'Bhetek soon attacked [[Duraan]], another Sangheili frontier colony. ''Shadow of Intent'' received Duraan's distress calls and embarked to the planet to aid its residents. Upon arriving at Duraan three days later, ''Shadow of Intent'' [[Ambush at Duraan|engaged]] ''Spear of Light'' over the planet.<ref name="soi42">'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''pages 42'' (Google Play edition)</ref> After a brief battle, Tem and fifty Jiralhanae warriors abandoned ''Spear of Light'' in [[Covenant escape pod]]s and [[Boarding|boarded]] the assault carrier. As the Prelate and his warriors attempted to take control of ''Shadow of Intent'', they encountered 'Juran and a [[lance]] of [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, led by [[Unggoy Ranger]] [[Stolt]]. While the Jiralhanae and Sangheili Rangers engaged in a firefight, Tem and several Jiralhanae attempted to make his way to the bridge to kill 'Vadum and take control of the carrier. 'Juran, Stolt, and four Rangers pursued the Prelate and caught up with him just as he was met by 'Vadum and 'Soran at the carrier's primary [[gravity lift]]. While the Rangers and Stolt engaged the Jiralhanae, 'Juran attached Tem with her [[energy lance]]. As the two dueled, Tem revealed to 'Juran that her father and elder brothers had been killed. The Prelate eventually managed to daze 'Juran and moved to kill her with her own lance, but he was stopped by 'Vadum. As his Jiralhanae were killed and Tem was outmatched by 'Vadum, the Prelate attempted to flee but he was knocked unconscious by 'Soran and Stolt.<ref name="soi53">'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''pages 53-62'' (Google Play edition)</ref> After 'Vadum interrogated Tem and the surviving Jiralhanae aboard the ship killed, the Sangheili learned that the Prelate was working with the [[Boru'a'Neem|Minister of Preparation]] and the two planned to use [[Halo-like superweapon|a superweapon]] to eradicate the populations of [[Sanghelios]] and the core worlds, and eventually dismantle Sangheili society.

Bringing Tem along with them as a hostage, the small team arrived at the installation in orbit over a rogue planet and embarked to their destination aboard two [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantoms]]. As the [[dropship]]s traveled towards the installation, the superweapon released an energy pulse that wounded many aboard the Phantoms, including 'Soran. At this moment, Tem escaped by wounding Stolt and stealing with [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]] and tricking 'Vadum to break his bounds when the Sangheili attacked.

Realizing the Prelate's plan, the two Sangheili activated their thrusters and embarked the installation. After the Sangheili were clear of the installation, Tem activated the plasma grenades and destroyed the installation.

'Vadum briefed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on the events that transpired and 'Vadam sought to meet 'Juran and honor her.

Tul 'Juran is a Sangheili and the daughter of former Kaidon Tulum 'Juranai. 'Juran served as the kaidon's scion and the captain of his guard.[1] After she aided Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum defeat the Minister of Preparation, 'Juran became one of the first females to enlist in the Swords of Sanghelios.[3]
Biography
- "He killed my k-kaidon and my kin… his life is mine to take."
- — Tul 'Juran, referring to Tem'Bhetek[4]
Tul 'Juran was born on Rahnelo, a Sangheili frontier colony, in the 2520s. She was born to Tulum 'Juranai, a swordsman and the kaidon of Rahnelo's largest settlement. Most of 'Juran's brothers were conscripted into the Covenant military during the Human-Covenant War, resulting in the deaths of all but three of her brothers. On Rahnelo, 'Juran served as the kaidon's scion of his keep and the captain of his guard.[1]
In 2553, Rahnelo was attacked by CRS-class light cruiser Spear of Light, under the command of San'Shyuum Prelate Tem'Bhetek. After destroying Rahnelo's spaceport and military bastions, the cruiser deployed Jiralhanae infantry to the planet's surface to engage the Sangheili residents. As the Jiralhanae slaughtered Sangheili attempting to stand their ground, 'Juran worked to aid any Sangheili she could and directed them back to her keep. While 'Juran led the keep's defense, her father and two older brothers led a charge against the Prelate and his Jiralhanae, but they were ultimately captured. The Prelate and his forces escaped shortly after and left the system. With the disappearance of her father and elder brothers, 'Juran's younger brother was given the mantle of kaidon.[1] After the attack, 'Juran and her brother gathered the bodies of the dead Sangheili to give them a funeral of sorts. Three days later, CAS-class assault carrier arrived at the planet, responding to Rahnelo's distress call. Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum and Blademaster Vul 'Soran landed on the planet's surface and met with 'Juran and her brother.[2] After learning that the Prelate likely captured her father and elder brothers, 'Juran requested 'Vadum for passage aboard his carrier and enlistment within his crew to carry out an invoked "right of release", a declaration of intent to free her captured family. Despite 'Soran's objections, 'Vadum agreed to 'Juran's request and the Sangheili returned to Shadow of Intent and departed Rahnelo.[1]
Tem'Bhetek soon attacked Duraan, another Sangheili frontier colony. Shadow of Intent received Duraan's distress calls and embarked to the planet to aid its residents. Upon arriving at Duraan three days later, Shadow of Intent engaged Spear of Light over the planet.[5] After a brief battle, Tem and fifty Jiralhanae warriors abandoned Spear of Light in Covenant escape pods and boarded the assault carrier. As the Prelate and his warriors attempted to take control of Shadow of Intent, they encountered 'Juran and a lance of Sangheili Rangers, led by Unggoy Ranger Stolt.

While the Rangers and Stolt engaged the Jiralhanae, 'Juran attached Tem with her energy lance. As the two dueled, Tem revealed to 'Juran that her father and elder brothers had been killed. The Prelate eventually managed to daze 'Juran and moved to kill her with her own lance, but he was stopped by 'Vadum. As his Jiralhanae were killed and Tem was outmatched by 'Vadum, the Prelate attempted to flee but he was knocked unconscious by 'Soran and Stolt.[6] After 'Vadum interrogated Tem and the surviving Jiralhanae aboard the ship killed, the Sangheili learned that the Prelate was working with the Minister of Preparation and the two planned to use a superweapon to eradicate the populations of Sanghelios and the core worlds, and eventually dismantle Sangheili society. The crew of Shadow of Intent agreed to send a small team of volunteers to the installation to destroy it, while sending the rest of the crew to Duraan; 'Juran, 'Vadum, Stolt, and 'Soran were among those that agreed to carryout the mission.[7]

Tul 'Juran's likeness and gender was first revealed in the 40th issue of Canon Fodder on 3 September 2015.[10] Fan communities universally welcomed the then-unnamed Tul 'Juran as an example of a female Sangheili warrior, a previously unseen sight in Halo canon. Multiple fans commented on the similarities with Tul's armor with the Arbiter's armor from Halo 2 and Halo 3; theories suggested that she was made an Arbiter herself.[11] In response to this, Jeff Easterling, author of the Canon Fodder series, revealed on Twitter that the style of armor Arbiters utilize is in fact a traditional Sangheili design.[12]

Notes
- ^ Rtas 'Vadum notes on Tul's age that "the Scion was older, well into her second decade" with comparison to her younger brother. Shadow of Intent is set in the year 2553 thus, ignoring Rtas's liberal description of her appearance, Tul would have been born in a period of 2524 to 2533 placing her between the ages of 29 and 20, respectively.
