The '''Ravaged Tusks''' are a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[clan]] under the leadership of [[Chieftain]] [[Ballas]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=459}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Note1|In ''Halo Infinite'', the TACMAP describes [[En'Geddon]] as the leader of the Ravaged Tusks (erroneously spelled as ''Ravaged Tusk''), while his Target profile describes him as the leader of the [[Bulwark of Bone]]. The [[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|2022 Halo Encyclopedia]] states that En'Geddon led the Bulwark of Bone clan, and also specifically describes Ballas as having been Chieftain of the Ravaged Tusks for over two decades prior to the Installation 07 conflict, making it highly likely that the TACMAP description is in error.}} While the clan serves as a [[Legion#Banished|legion]] within the [[Banished]], Ballas holds the rank of [[legionmaster]]. The clan is known to be smugglers and [[slavery|slavers]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR7|HSoR|Chapter=7}}

==History==
==History==
Chieftain Ballas led the Ravaged Tusks for over two decades prior to the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} By [[2559|July 2559]], the Ravaged Tusks had been absorbed into the Banished.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} When War Chief [[Escharum]] received a transmission from [[Atriox]] that ordered him to find a [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace portal|portal]] rumored to be hidden on [[Reach]] so that he could leave the [[Installation 00|Ark]] and return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]], the Ravaged Tusks were sent to the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]], alongside the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Legion of the Corpse-Moon]], to search for this "[[Menachite portal complex|Portal under the Mountain]]."{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}}

After landing on Reach, the clans were each assigned a third of the world to search, the supercontinent of [[Eposz]] being split into thirds as well. Ballas and the Ravaged Tusks had been assigned the southwest third. However, the three clans had little luck in finding this near-mythical portal. Ballas and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Deukalion]], who led the Legion of the Corpse-Moon, started to squabble with over the resources found within the human rehabilitation settlements spread across their search areas.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}} [[Dokab]] [[Castor]], who led the Keepers, was able to reason with Ballas and Deukalion convincing them to continue their search for the portal. Recently, a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Blue Team|team]] had arrived on Reach as part of a [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]] to recover key assets from the ruins of [[CASTLE Base]]. Castor did not know of their true objective, but he felt sure that they were searching for the portal.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR7}}

As part of Castor's plan to follow the Spartan team, forces from the Ravaged Tusks and Legion of the Corpse-Moon would continue to harass them. Ballas' forces also participated in the failed [[Battle of New Mohács|defense and recapture]] of [[Mohács|New Mohács]], a settlement ran by the [[Viery Militia]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR14|HSoR|Chapter=14}} Luckily for the Banished, the Spartans did lead the three clans to the portal, as CASTLE Base happened to sit atop the Forerunner complex.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR19|HSoR|Chapter=19}}

Upon Atriox's return to the Milky Way, the warmaster gave the Ravage Tusks new orders. They would accompany the Banished fleet to [[Installation 07]] aboard their warship ''[[Voidfaith]]''. Upon arriving, Atriox set Ballas loose against the humans, scouring the ring's surface for any enemies who might have survived.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
