==Biography==
==Biography==
===Early life===
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"/>
Avitus was born on the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld of [[Doisac]] on [[2493#April|April 17, 2493]]. Early on in his military career within the [[Covenant]], he was put in charge of quelling heretic factions on Covenant worlds that were slow to meet [[High Charity]]'s demands for new tithes. These exploits earned him the title of "Thrallslayer" and drew the eye of the [[Prophet of Regret]]. Avitus secretly had no real loyalty to the Covenant and only served because of his immeasurable bloodlust and the praise of his brothers-in-arms.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
 
===Human-Covenant War===
Avitus was deployed with the [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] by the [[Hierarchs]] to serve alongside [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] under the [[Prophet of Regret]] during the [[Harvest campaign]], despite his strong dislike of the [[Sangheili]] in general and 'Moramee in particular.{{Ref/Site|Id=Story|URL=http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=6|Site=Game Daily|Page=Halo Wars Character Profiles - Captain Cutter and the Brute Chieftain|Quote=Enjoys a good story|D=30|M=01|Y=2009|NoArchive=yes}} During the campaign on [[Harvest]], he grew to respect humans for their different nature and unfailing courage in the worst of situations,{{Ref/Reuse|Cards}} far more than he respected any species within the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} He enjoys eating [[thorn beast]], which he prefers to be cooked rare, as well as hearing aggerated tales of his adventures, told by an overweight [[Unggoy]] who serves as his official scribe.{{Ref/Reuse|Story}} His love for thorn beast pushed him to violence in [[2528]], when he tore apart two Unggoy because his thorn beast had been overcooked. The Unggoy were subsequently discovered as five organic chunks strewn about his quarters.{{Ref/Game|HW|Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline Events|Detail=Incident Report 16-196901}}
 
During the early years of the war, Avitus was the subject of a [[United Nations Space Command]] intelligence report—[[Target profile#.2343 867 37|Target_profile #43_867_37_]]. Human observers noted in the report that Avitus was looking to regain some political clout within the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Cards}}
 
Avitus was present at [[Trove]] at the outbreak of [[Battle of Trove|fighting]] on the [[shield world]] in early [[2531]]. After {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} breached the shield world's exterior shell, 'Moramee ordered Avitus to accompany Regret when the Hierarch evacuated the shield world aboard the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]''. 'Moramee's intent was to prevent Thrallslayer from earning any glory in the [[Battle of Trove|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/Reuse|CFLost}} Avitus would survive the battle and continue to serve the Prophet of Regret until the end of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}


===Post-war exploits===
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"/>
After the [[Covenant]] fell, Avitus returned to [[Warial]], one of the [[natural satellite]]s of Doisac, and began restoring his clan's position. Years later, promises from [[Escharum]] brought Avitus back to the battlefield not as a worshipper of the Covenant, but as a bloodthirsty [[Chieftain]] within the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} After the [[Razing of Oth Sonin|Razing]] of [[Oth Sonin system|Oth Sonin]], [[Ik'novus]] was inducted to the Banished's Bloodstars;{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=451}} Avitus gifted a [[Volatile Skewer]] to Ik'novus as a farewell gift.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF150|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-give-em-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - If They Want Lore, We'll Give 'Em Lore|D=21|M=2|Y=2024|LocalArchive=Armory Infinitum#Volatile Skewer}}


==Personality and traits==
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"/>
Possessing uncanny intelligence that complimented his violent nature, Avitus is a dangerous foe despite his relatively small stature.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=2|Site=Game Daily|Page=Halo Wars Character Profiles - Captain Cutter and the Brute Chieftain|Quote=Not your average brute|D=30|M=01|Y=2009|NoArchive=yes}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=4|Site=Game Daily|Page=Halo Wars Character Profiles - Captain Cutter and the Brute Chieftain|Quote=Don't call him tiny|D=30|M=01|Y=2009|NoArchive=yes}} He enjoys the strong flavors of meat, preferring his [[thorn beast]] cooked rare,{{Ref/Reuse|Story}} with the gamey flesh of [[dengkra]] being a second favorite.{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}}
