A war criminal is a person who violates the laws of war during a conflict and commits various heinous acts. Examples of war crimes can include torture and genocide. During the Human-Covenant War, a number of war crimes were committed, particularly by the Covenant who sought the genocide of the human race. After an encounter with Prelate Tem'Bhetek, Sangheili Supreme Commander Rtas 'Vadum decided to track down the remaining San'Shyuum and determine which deserved to be punished for war crimes during the Great Schism and which ones had committed no crimes and were merely misled.[1]
Notable examples of war criminals
- Master Builder Faber - Placed on trial following the Battle of Janjur Qom for his use of the Halo Array to put down the San'Shyuum rebellion and other war crimes.[2] However, the trial was interrupted by Mendicant Bias' rebellion.[3] Died in the destruction of Omega Halo during the Battle of the greater Ark.[4]
- High Prophet of Truth - Orchestrated[5] and led the genocide of humanity. Orchestrated the Great Schism.[6] Attempted to fire the Halo Array and commit galaxy-wide genocide. Executed by Thel 'Vadam after being defeated during the Battle of Installation 00.[7]

- High Prophet of Regret - Orchestrated[5] and led the genocide of humanity. Personally commanded the glassing of Charybdis IX.[9] Attempted to have Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee use a fleet of Forerunner Sojourner-class dreadnoughts to destroy the human race "quickly and with ease."[10] Personally led an attack on Earth,[11][12][13] and attempted to fire the Halo Array to commit galaxy-wide genocide. Assassinated by John-117 during the Battle of Installation 05.[14]
- Tartarus - A driving force in the genocide of humanity, he personally led the destruction of the planet Harvest[5] and as the Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, led his race in an effort to eliminate the Sangheili during the Great Schism.[6] Attempted to commit galaxy-wide genocide by activating the Halo Array, but was defeated and killed during the Battle of Installation 05 by the combined forces of Sergeant Avery Johnson and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam.[15]
