Special Operations Sub-Commander '''Kusovai''' is an [[Elite]] character first introduced in the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''.<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', page 14</ref> He was known for his great skill with the [[Energy Sword]]. | |||
=== | ==In Context== | ||
Kusovai is first seen in a practice duel with [[Rtas 'Vadumee]].<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', page 12</ref> Later, he is with the group that boards the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'' and realizes that something is amiss. When they head into a hunting preserve, [[Flood]]-infected animals then begin attacking the group. The group fights its way through to the ship's bridge, where they find the controls have been disabled. | |||
Kusovai is eventually infected by the Flood and fights the uninfected Rtas 'Vadumee, costing the latter, part of his jaw.<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', page 53</ref> The Flood are almost able to [[Slipspace]] jump out of the system, but not before Rtas 'Vadumee changes the course to the sun. It was here that Rtas 'Vadumee, while fighting an infected Kusovai, is injured as an Energy Sword cuts off his left mandibles. Rtas 'Vadumee defeats Kusovai and manages to escape two minutes before the Slipspace Jump occurred. Rtas 'Vadumee is believed to be the only survivor of the ''Infinite Succor'' mission. | |||
[[Image:InfectedKusovai.jpg|thumb|left|Rtas 'Vadumee fights Kusovai after he has been absorbed by the Flood.]] | |||
== | ==Rank== | ||
== | His true rank is unknown, although he must have been lower ranked than Rtas 'Vadumee, but higher than normal [[Special Operations Elites]]. Most believable is that he was Special Operations Officer (also called Spec Ops Major), as [[Zuka 'Zamamee]], but he could even be an [[Ultra Elite]] with the role as Sub-Commander. | ||
**''[[ | ==Name== | ||
*''[[ | Kusovai's naming structure is odd, as he has neither the apostrophe before the last name nor the "-ee" suffix common to military Elites. However, given his mastery of the energy sword, it seems foolish to conclude that he is a civilian. More likely, it is an oversight, error, or piece of artistic license on the author's part. | ||
However, the suffix "-ee" has never been featured being added to the first name. Kusovai's last name was never mentioned, but it is possible that Kusovai was his first name, or a nickname, thus explaining the lack of an "-ee" suffix in his name. | |||
Another explanation is that [[Elites]] never put "-ee" after a vowel, only after consonants. Many [[Elites]] whose last name finishes in vowel don't have "-ee"([[Toha 'Sumai]]). The reason for this is probably for the purposes of pronunciation and aesthetics, since "Kusovaiee" neither looks good nor sounds good. | |||
