| | A brute. He killed a Sangheili in cold blood within spitting distance of a holy place and the matter was simply forgotten by the Prophets. Even a Lekgolo would have been pulled apart for such transgression. |
|
| |
|
| ==Biography==
| | He was mentioned by a pair of grunts during the [[Reach]] campaign. |
| ===Early transgression===
| |
| Bracktanus' existence first became known to the [[United Nations Space Command]] during the [[Fall of Reach]], thanks to a recording observed by [[sniper]] [[Corporal]] [[C. Errera]] depicting two [[Unggoy]] in conversation. According to the Unggoy, Bracktanus, then a captain, fought and killed a [[Sangheili]] warrior within close proximity of a holy area - a crime normally punishable by painful execution. Bracktanus avoided execution, and the matter was swiftly forgotten by the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]. This sign of favoritism was noticed by [[Mehmep]], who later mentioned it to his partner, both sensing [[Great Schism|trouble brewing]].<ref>''[[Conversations from the Universe]]''</ref>

| ===Battle of Mombasa===
| |
| {{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
| |
| By October 20, 2552, Bracktanus was promoted to the rank of Chieftain. Bracktanus was secretly ordered by the [[Prophet of Truth]] to eliminate the Sangheili forces left behind in the city after the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' retreated from the battle. Bracktanus first targeted and killed Blademaster [[Vero 'Ahtulai]] at [[New Mombasa Sector 6|Sector 6]] to demoralize the rest of the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|cf}}
| |
| | |
| For the rest of the day, Bracktanus scoured the city for other Sangheili and crushed any remaining human resistance.{{Ref/Reuse|cf}} Eventually, Bracktanus boarded one of the many Phantoms that attacked the crash site of the Pelican that belonged to the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] squad [[Alpha-Nine]]. Bracktanus managed to kill an NMPD officer, and only severely injured [[Kojo Agu]] when he swung his hammer’s reverse-blade against the Agu’s chest, with Agu’s sniper blocking the blow. Bracktanus was killed by the rest of the ODSTs when he became pre-occupied with killing Agu. [[Edward Buck]] jumped on his back, stabbing Bracktanus in the neck using his [[combat knife]]. [[Michael Crespo]] tackled Bracktanus, preventing Bracktanus from retaliating against Buck and allowing Buck to stab Bracktanus again. [[Taylor Miles]] then tackled and elbowed Bracktanus, killing the Chieftain.{{Ref/Reuse|nmpd}}
