==History==
==History==
===Covenant annexation===
Following the collapse of the [[Covenant]], the clan emerged as one of the dominant master-packs in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts#Continuing Jiralhanae-Sangheili_hostility|ongoing conflict]] with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] under [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. By 2558, the Jiralhanae were facing a serious shortage of both food and resources. Despite the fact that the [[San'Shyuum]] had settled the Jiralhanae on several resource rich worlds as security, the Jiralhanae's technological backwardness meant that they could not mine and process the resources on their worlds, forcing them to raid [[Sangheili colonies|Sangheili worlds]] to claim their already processed resources. However, even with raiding, the Jiralhanae were unable to sustain themselves in the long run, resulting in the Jiralhanae facing a massive species wide famine.{{Ref/Reuse|HE1}}
[[Lydus]] was born into a [[Jiralhanae]] [[clan]] on [[Doisac]] that saw its citadel and territory destroyed by the [[Covenant]] during their first contact. Lydus was the only survivor of his family and would later come to be known as the "Ghost Father". Disfigured from the attack, the young Jiralhanae reluctantly joined the Covenant along with the rest of his species as they were subjugated. He served the Covenant and formed a small clan with young Jiralhanae warriors, calling them the Children of Oth Sonin.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Enc22p255}}


===Covenant collapse and Post-War period===
Because of this, Lydus and the clan were willing to negotiate a peace with the [[Sangheili]], allowing them access to their resources in exchange for food. [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] agreed to serve as a moderator between Lydus and Thel 'Vadam on [[Ealen IV]]. Lydus and his clan brought a fleet with them as escort, to serve as a deterrent to the Sangheili fleet and the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, while Lydus brought a [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Major]] and [[Jiralhanae Bodyguard|Bodyguard]] as escorts. However, the delegates were [[Battle of Ealen IV|attacked]] by [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenaries]] under [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE1}}
Following the collapse of the [[Covenant]] at the end of [[2552]], Lydus took his Children of Oth Sonin and expanded to the moon [[Teash]] with hopes of solidifying order among the Jiralhanae on Doisac.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Enc22p255}} The Children of Oth Sonin would eventually grow large enough to provide security and limited provisions to the outlying citadels across the Jiralhanae home system.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Enc22p247}} At some point after the war, [[Kilo-Five]] sowed dissension among the Children of Oth Sonin.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=111}}


By [[2558]], the Children of Oth Sonin had emerged as one of the dominant Jiralhanae [[master-pack]]s in the [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|ongoing conflict]] with the [[Sangheili]]. The conflict was devastating and the Jiralhanae were facing a serious shortage of both food and resources. Despite the fact that the [[San'Shyuum]] had settled the Jiralhanae on several resource rich worlds as security, the Jiralhanae's technological backwardness meant that they could not mine and process the resources on their worlds once the San'Shyuum disappeared, forcing the Jiralhanae to raid [[Sangheili colonies|Sangheili worlds]] to claim their already processed resources. However, even with raiding, the Jiralhanae were unable to sustain themselves in the long run, resulting in an imminent massive species wide famine.{{Ref/Reuse|HE1}} 
In space, communications were cut off between the fleets in orbit and the surface. Lydus's pack-brothers assumed that the UNSC were blocking their communication. Though [[Commander]] [[Bradley]] tried to convince them otherwise,<ref name="HE2">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref> the Jiralhanae assumed that the UNSC and the Sangheili had betrayed the peace talks, and prepared to attack the Sangheili, only stopping when [[Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]] and [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Naiya Ray]] managed to restore communications with the fleets. Lydus, 'Vadam, and Hood were able to escape at the cost of [[Fireteam Bailey]], saving the ambassadors but leaving hope of peace between the clan and the Sangheili in doubt.<ref name="HE3">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref>

Following the compromised peace talks on Ealyn IV, Lydus secretly hired the [[Banished]] as a mercenary military to take out his rivals, in exchange for using his shipyards and land.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p255|Enc22|Page=255}}

After the razing of Oth Sonin and the destruction of [[Doisac]], Lydus and his clan survived by escaping to an abandoned [[human]] colony world.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Enc22p255}}


Following the compromised peace talks on Ealyn IV, rivalry and infighting among the Jiralhanae on Doisac continued. Lydus secretly struck a deal with the [[Banished]] to take out his most dangerous rivals, in exchange for granting the Banished full access to his shipyards and land.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p255|Enc22|Page=255}}


===Razing of Oth Sonin===
After the [[Razing of Oth Sonin]] and the destruction of Doisac by the [[Created]] [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]], Lydus and his clan survived by escaping to an abandoned [[human]] colony world. However, some of his forces were rumored to still be lurking in the shadows of their home system.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Enc22p255}}
