The [[pack]] which crewed the ''Valorous Salvation'' was in fact the product of two separate packs which had recently been merged by the Covenant leadership. The two clans were ancient enemies that had fought even before the [[First Immolation|massive civil war]] that had knocked the Jiralhanae back to a [[Technological Achievement Tiers#Tier 7: Pre-Industrial|pre-industrial state]]. This ancient feud caused mistrust and dissension within the mismatched pack's ranks. One clan, led by brothers Ceretus and Maladus, felt themselves to be the more intelligent faction of the pack, and their devout religious beliefs were more in line with those of the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]. The other faction, led by pack [[Chieftain]] [[Parabum]], believed only in muscle and tradition, and displayed a lack of respect towards the Covenant religion. | The [[pack]] which crewed the ''Valorous Salvation'' was in fact the product of two separate packs which had recently been merged by the Covenant leadership.

During the [[Fall of Reach]], Parabum exhibited cowardice when he ordered his ship to retreat from the massive attack and instead land on the nearby Beta Gabriel. When they first arrived on the [[planet]], they hunted the [[human]]s they found there and feasted like never before.

When they first arrived on the [[planet]], they hunted the [[human]]s they found there and feasted like never before. Ceretus and Maladus didn't even bother using their [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spikers]], as they had more fun killing them with their bare hands. As the number of humans dwindled, they ate the [[Unggoy]] who had been aboard the ship, and Parabum instituted limits on hunting and eating the humans. | ||
Shortly afterward, Maladus snapped and challenged Parabum over his cowardice and abandonment of their duties to the Covenant. However, Parabum was stronger and mercilessly pummeled him into submission before tearing Maladus' throat out with his teeth. This only serves to further enrage Ceretus. | Shortly afterward, Maladus snapped and challenged Parabum over his cowardice and abandonment of their duties to the Covenant.

Ceretus then began plotting to overthrow Parabum, but he had no hope of beating the Chieftain in a direct challenge. Instead, Ceretus tried to convince another Brute, [[Hammadus]], who was the only one strong enough to defeat Parabum. He did so by using Hammadus's brother, [[Facius]], and arguing that they needed to overthrow Parabum, return to the Covenant, and beg the gods for forgiveness or else face damnation. | Ceretus then began plotting to overthrow Parabum, but he had no hope of beating the Chieftain in a direct challenge.

Ceretus got Facius to try to convince Parabum to return to the Covenant, with Hammadus promising to protect his brother if the Chieftain disagreed. When Facius spoke to Parabum however, the Chieftain responded by saying that there were no gods, causing Ceretus to erupt with pious indignation.
