'''Cethegus''' was a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] of the [[Covenant]] who led his [[pack]] throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-brute-force '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Brute Force'']</ref>

On [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], Cethegus and his pack were among the Covenant forces brought to [[Installation 00]] alongside the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|fleet]]. As the [[Battle of Installation 00]] began, Truth moved to initiate the [[Great Journey]] by firing the [[Halo Array]] while the Covenant attempted to destroy attacking [[human]] and Sangheili forces. As the Arbiter and [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] left the [[Cartographer#Installation 00|Cartographer]], Cethegus and the members of his pack were charged with halting their progress.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}} Encountering the Spartan in the Cartographer, Cethegus dispatched several of his [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s to eliminate John-117 while he retreated. Cethegus regrouped with the [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s of his pack, where he exchanged communications with Truth. Meanwhile, the Spartan killed the Stalkers and moved towards Cethegus' position. As John approached the Jiralhanae, Truth ordered Cethegus to kill the Spartan himself, to which the chieftain readily agreed.{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} Believing that he would ascend to the title of Chieftain of the Jiralhanae for killing the Spartan, Cethegus charged John alone with his [[Type-2 gravity hammer]]. However, John eventually succeeded in killing Cethegus. The rest of the chieftain's pack, flanked by Kig-Yar marksmen fruitlessly attempted to avenge their commander.{{Ref/Reuse|h3}}
