Thrallslayer was deployed with the [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] by the [[Hierarchs]] to serve alongside [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] under the [[High Prophet of Regret]] during the [[Harvest campaign]], despite his strong dislike of the [[Sangheili]] in general and 'Moramee in particular.<ref name="Story">[http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=6 '''Game Daily''': ''Enjoys a good story''] <!-- Accessed on 2009-01-30 --></ref><ref>[[Halo Wars Timeline Events|'''''Halo Wars''''' timeline]]</ref> During the campaign on [[Harvest]], he grew to respect [[humans]] for their different nature and unfailing courage in the worst of situations.<ref name ="Cards"/> He enjoys eating [[thorn beast]], which he prefers to be cooked rare, as well as hearing exaggerated tales of his adventures, told by an overweight [[Unggoy]] who serves as his official scribe. In [[2528]], Thrallslayer tore apart two Unggoy because his thorn beast was overcooked. The Unggoy were subsequently discovered as five organic chunks strewn about his quarters.<ref name="Story"/> | |||
At some point according to [[Target_profile#.2343_867_37|Target_profile #43_867_37_]], Thrallslayer was looking to regain some political clout within the Covenant.<ref name="Cards"/> | |||
In [[2531]], after the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction discovered the [[Etran Harborage]], 'Moramee ordered Thrallslayer to accompany Regret when the Hierarch evacuated the [[shield world]] aboard the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]''. 'Moramee's intent was to prevent Thrallslayer from earning any glory in the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|ensuing battle]] against the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, but his actions would only ensure the chieftain's survival while the Arbiter himself perished at the hands of human forces.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | |||
