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}} | Avitus was born on the [[Jiralhanae]] homeworld of [[Doisac]] on [[2493#April|April 17, 2493]].

=== | ===Harvest campaign=== | ||
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 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"/> 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. 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/Reuse|Story}} | |||

===Political clout=== | |||
At some point, the [[UNSC]] created [[Target profile#.2343 867 37|Target_profile #43_867_37_]], reporting that Avitus was looking to regain some political clout within the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Cards}} | |||
===Battle of Trove=== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Trove}} | |||
In [[2531]], after the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction discovered [[Trove]], '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. Avitus would survive the battle and continue to serve the Prophet of Regret until the end of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |||
