With the Covenant's demise, 'Volir fosters animosity towards virtually all of the fallen empire's [[Covenant remnants|successor states]]. While he views the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|new "Covenant"]] as a continuation of the falsehood that crippled his people and repressed their nature, he disagreed with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]' attempts at [[Treaty of 2552|peace]] with [[human]]ity.{{Ref/Reuse|finals countdown}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFPhoenixBlog}} | With the Covenant's demise, 'Volir fosters animosity towards virtually all of the fallen empire's [[Covenant remnants|successor states]].

Despite this, 'Volir and his crew declined the Banished Brutes' invitation to celebrate the destruction of the human's [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost|outpost]] on the Ark.{{Ref/Reuse|PLSacrifice}} When approached by [[Atriox]] to join the [[Banished]] in exchange for fuel and supplies, 'Volir reluctantly agreed as he felt that there was no other option. He was deeply uncomfortable with serving under Atriox, as he was used to being above the [[Jiralhanae]] in the Covenant's society. Atriox often teases 'Volir about the name of his carrier, ''Enduring Conviction'', as he believes that it is particularly ill-suited for a mercenary [[shipmaster]].{{Ref/Reuse|gamespot}} | |||
Ultimately, the loss of ''Enduring Conviction'' proved a humbling moment for 'Volir - where prior he had held only the lives of his crew and honouring his contract in his goals, later in 2559 he mused in his personal log that his penance for failing to protect his crew would be greater responsibility. Rather than stepping back, he took the destruction of ''Enduring Conviction'' as a moment to realise that his "crew" had now expanded to encompass all within the Banished. Subsequently, this renewed his faith not in the [[Forerunners]] or the [[Great Journey]], but in the might of the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|CFPhoenixBlog}} | Ultimately, the loss of ''Enduring Conviction'' proved a humbling moment for 'Volir - where prior he had held only the lives of his crew and honouring his contract in his goals, later in 2559 he mused in his personal log that his penance for failing to protect his crew would be greater responsibility.
