Zeretus joined the Banished very early; he either participated in Atriox's initial revolt at his attempted execution on [[Algolis]] or he was recruited into the fledgeling mercenary organization shortly after this. He would continue to serve Atriox faithfully for at least a decade, and was even among those chosen to accompany him to the [[Installation 00|Ark]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Zeretus joined the Banished very early; he either participated in Atriox's initial revolt at his attempted execution on [[Algolis]] or he was recruited into the fledgeling mercenary organization shortly after this.

In the midst of the [[Second Ark Conflict]], Atriox charged Chieftain Minas with the [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|recovery]] of a slipspace flake from the interior of the [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]], which had been [[Battle of Installation 00|abandoned]] by the [[Prophet of Truth]] years earlier. The remaining shards of this crystal would be used to open a [[slipspace portal]] to the [[human]] [[human colonies|colony]] of [[Reach]]. Zeretus led one of the three small strike teams that were sent on this mission, with the other two being led by [[Blademaster]] [[Okro 'Vagaduun]] and Minas himself. Each team rode in a separate [[Banished Phantom|Phantom]] [[dropship]] to where the [[keyship]] rested in a presently uncontested region of the Ark they had dubbed [[Mahsko]]. After they had breached the vessel, a Jiralhanae warrior named Choros guided them to their destination. Early in the mission, Zeretus declared that the ship did in fact appear abandoned. Howvever, the teams would soon be ambushed by Covenant loyalists that stayed behind to defend the keyship, even after nearly [[seven]] years had passed.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | In the midst of the [[Second Ark Conflict]], Atriox charged Chieftain Minas with the [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|recovery]] of a slipspace flake from the interior of the [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]], which had been [[Battle of Installation 00|abandoned]] by the [[Prophet of Truth]] years earlier.

Zeretus expressed his utter disbelief at this discovery, but still led his team to victory against their assailants. As Minas's team and then 'Vagaduun's ascended the final [[elevator|lift]] leading to their prize, he received word from the chieftain that he and his team should not follow them up and that they should instead cover their exit. The Covenant defenders had attacked them one last time, hoping to repel them from the holy vessel. When Minas and 'Vagaduun returned alone with the crystal shards, Zeretus and his remaining men quickly escorted them out of the ship and back to their Phantoms.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Zeretus expressed his utter disbelief at this discovery, but still led his team to victory against their assailants.
