[[Fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]], commander of the Sangheili-led fleet 'Volir was in, had stationed several forces at a [[Covenant separatists|separatist]] [[Covenant citadel|base]].

Aboard the Enduring Conviction's bridge, several hidden Banished soldiers abruptly ambushed 'Volir and his crew turning the tables on the Shipmaster. Now as a prisoner of Atriox, the two began to talk. Atriox revealed that he allowed himself to get captured as an opportunity to make a proposition. Atriox pointed out how he was aware of Volir's wavering faith in the Covenant separatists and saw him as a good recruit for the Banished. 'Volir reluctantly accepted and told his crew that they wouldn't be misused as cannon fodder for the separatists any longer and would serve the Banished as free mercenaries instead.{{Ref/Reuse|ROA4}} | Aboard the Enduring Conviction's bridge, several hidden Banished soldiers abruptly ambushed 'Volir and his crew turning the tables on the Shipmaster.

'Volir organized all his military assets in a desperate last ditched effort to push back the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} on the Ark. All of the sudden, his forces managed to push the UNSC far back enough to secure the site of a portal that would allow Atriox to [[Menachite portal complex|return]] to the [[Milky Way]]. This rare success put 'Volir back in the favor of the warmaster.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p457|Enc22|Page=457}} | ||

When Atriox's [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich]] ''[[Pegoras]]'' had returned through the portal back to the Ark, Let 'Volir engaged in transmission with it to see if Atriox was on board. [[Castor]] pretended that he wasn't which was soon contradicted by a later statement made by [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]]. Nevertheless, while suspicious, he allowed the ship to pass through his air traffic.

'Volir was against [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] going after the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and [[Dhas Bhasvod]]'s [[Covenant loyalists]], which they proceeded to do regardless. Following the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]] and the loss of the [[Clan of the Long Shields]], Pavium and Voridus decided to report to 'Volir that they had held the other two factions off long enough for the ''Spirit of Fire'' to launch its bombardment, knowing that there was no else around to contradict their claims.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} | ||
