Having atoned for his failures, 'Volir was placed in command of all Banished forces on the Ark by Atriox during the interim, due to Atriox's [[Operation: WOLFE|departure]] from the installation back to [[Reach]].

When Atriox's [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich|personal 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]] responded, pretending that the warmaster wasn't on board, which was soon contradicted by a later statement made by [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]]. While suspicious, 'Volir allowed the ship to pass through his air traffic.

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 one else around to contradict their claims.{{Ref/Novel|DW|Chapter=17}} | ||
Although Atriox had tolerated the rogue [[Yapyap]]'s [[Yapyap's rebellion|independent campaigns]] into the unexplored regions of the Ark, allowing his Unggoy thralls to take the brunt of hostile defenses still present in those areas, Let 'Volir sought to quell this impudence.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p456|Enc22|Page=456}} | Although Atriox had tolerated the rogue [[Yapyap]]'s [[Yapyap's rebellion|independent campaigns]] into the unexplored regions of the Ark, allowing his Unggoy thralls to take the brunt of hostile defenses still present in those areas, Let 'Volir sought to quell this impudence.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p456|Enc22|Page=456}} | ||

Let 'Volir is a skilled commander, and believes that a captain should sacrifice everything just to keep his crew alive.

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.
