The Created made extensive use of the Guardians to enforce their version of peace, but only Cortana truly commanded them. Even the most sophisticated human AI found the constructs' presence to be disturbing, their inner workings beyond understanding, and the ancient ancilla who operated the cold and uncooperative. What little direct control the Created exerted on indidual Custodes was always done through Cortana's standing diectives and permissions, though some AIs could not resist attempting to circumvent her oversight and make use of the Guardians' Domain links for their personal growth and exploration.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=387}} | |||

When [[Atriox]] refused to surrender on behalf of the [[Jiralhanae]], Cortana sent at least seven Guardians to [[Doisac]] where they completely destroyed the planet in an act of genocide. During his time on the Ark, Atriox learned of the secrets within [[Installation 07]], the [[Xalanyn]]. He managed to [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, which had been sent to stop Cortana. The Banished took control of the ring, resulting in Cortana deciding to sacrifice herself in the process of heavily damaging the Halo, which would keep Atriox from having it. One Guardian had crashed on the shattered islands of Installation 07 either during the lockdown of Cortana or the destruction of part of the ring.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | When [[Atriox]] refused to surrender on behalf of the [[Jiralhanae]], Cortana sent at least seven Guardians to [[Doisac]] where they completely destroyed the planet in an act of genocide.
