Chainbreaker shares its design with various other models of gravity mace, though differs in one primary way - rather than simply containing the [[gravitic]] impellers which enable its function (similarly to [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers]]), Chainbreaker was forged by Atriox following his rebellion during the [[Algolis Invasion]]. At the behest of the [[Covenant]], the [[Sangheili]] executioner [[Itho 'Hesiikee]] was tasked with eliminating Atriox - though was ultimately killed in the ensuing battle. Following this, Atriox took 'Hesiikee's [[Energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]] as a trophy and reforged its components, integrating them into the gravity mace's core architecture.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

As such, the mace additionally sports three red energy blades protruding at 120<sup>o</sup> angles - when viewed from above. These blades are positioned as such to evoke the imagery of [[Doisac]] and its three moons - [[Soirapt]], [[Warial]], and [[Teash]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This imagery also serves as the basis of the [[Mark of Atriox]] - the emblem of the [[Banished]] - and as a symbolic scepter of Atriox himself.{{Ref/Site|Id=CUBurn|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com//en-us/news/burn-baby-burn|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Burn Baby Burn|D=18|M=08|Y=2020}}{{Ref/Twitter|JeremyCook3D|834551465536413696|Jeremy Cook|Quote=I made more Phone splashes for you.

The Mark of Atriox, the seal of the Banished as a whole, was based on the impact that Chainbreaker would make to players in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''. The mace's design was based on branding and royal seals.{{Ref/Reuse|CUBurn}} Early concept art for the weapon suggested the consideration that Atriox may have hand-crafted the whole weapon from old gravity hammer components, though this has yet to be followed up in full canon.{{Ref/Generic|[[:File:HW2 Atriox Concept Sheet.jpg|Halo Wars 2 Atriox concept sheet]]|Quote="Carry a big stick" - Atriox' custom mace (which he made from parts of a Grav hammer. His one-off signature weapon.?)}}
