==Biography==
==Biography==
===Early life and Covenant service===
During the [[Installation 07 conflict]], Chak 'Lok interrogated human [[Prisoner of war|POWs]] in a facility called [[the Tower]]. Once all valuable intel about the UNSC resistance effort on [[Installation 07]] had been wrung out of the prisoners, Chak 'Lok would send them on to the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]]. One of the captives held at the Tower was [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Hudson Griffin]], who was taken prisoner following a failed attempt to assassinate [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]]. Chak 'Lok also tortured a captured combat medic, [[Lucas Browning]], before handing the human over to [[the Harbinger]], who expressed annoyance at the damage Chak 'Lok had done to the prisoner.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#The Prisoner 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=The Prisoner #05 - Barely Anything Left}}
Chak 'Lok was born on [[Malurok]] on [[2485#January|January 15, 2485]]. He would go on to serve in the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]], as was the custom for all male [[Sangheili]]. Eventually, 'Lok earned a placed within the [[Seneschal]] order of the [[Sangheili Ultra|Evocati]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}


===Defection===
After [[John-117]] was confirmed by Banished leadership to have returned on May 28, [[2560]], Chak 'Lok set a trap by activating a distress signal within Griffin's armor, which [[the Weapon]] picked up and the Spartan predictably pursued. Chak 'Lok ordered the facility put into lockdown when the Master Chief arrived and taunted him via [[Holography|hologram]], claiming that the SPARTAN-II would never get inside the Tower. However, with the help of the Weapon, the Master Chief located the security building that controlled the lockdown, lifted it, and ascended into the main structure. John-117 eventually confronted Chak 'Lok, who was torturing Spartan Griffin. The two dueled one-on-one and John-117, with the help of Griffin's recovered [[Threat Sensor]], killed Chak 'Lok despite the latter using his cloak and an [[Energy Sword]] to his advantage. Unfortunately, it was too late for Griffin, who died from his injuries from the torture soon after.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}}
Before the fall of the Covenant at the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Chak 'Lok defected and joined the [[Banished]]. Here, he enjoyed greater autonomy, and was instrumental in recruiting dozens of [[Sangheili Ultra]] divisions into the mercenary organization. As he was particularly adept in the art of interrogation and information extraction, 'Lok put these skills to use on agents of his former empire, collecting intel on strategic locations, targets, and assets that would bolster the Banished arsenal and expand its influence.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}


===Zeta Halo===
Following Chak 'Lok's death, [[Glibnub]], the [[Unggoy]] communications officer operating the [[propaganda tower]]s across the Halo, claimed that Chak 'Lok was still "100% alive" and that the Tower had simply been closed for "renovations."{{Ref/Game|HI|Propaganda Tower dialogue: "To all humans looking forward to being interrogated to death, I regret to report that the Tower is closed for renovations by order of Commander Chak 'Lok, who is 100% alive, but don’t worry, we’ll be happy to make other arrangements to send you to whatever stupid afterlife you believe in, or absent that, the inky abyss."}}

===Legacy===
