History
During the Human-Covenant War the crew of Heresy's Sorrow attacked UNSC supply lines and UEG trade routes. When the Great Schism began the Sangheili crew was forced out of the Covenant by the Jiralhanae. In the years following the Covenant's collapse, Escharum of the Banished struck a deal with Inka 'Saham's crew, for their service to the Banished they would receive payment. 'Saham and his crew joined as mercenaries, going by the title of Valorguards of the Chosen.[1] Joining the Banished would inevitably banish them from Sangheili society, for a Sangheili to sell themselves as a mercenary was considered dishonorable,TEMPLATE ERROR: Template using invalid/disallowed fields: "sectionlinktext", "section"[3][4] and working for the Jiralhanae was deemed even more shameful.[5] In 2559 a bounty was placed upon Inka 'Saham which a Spartan-IV undertook and failed, only to be captured and tortured.[1]
The Valorguards of the Chosen participated in the Installation 07 conflict, where their leader Inka 'Saham was killed by the Master Chief.[1]
