===Installation 05===
He was aboard his ship during the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and when the [[Great Schism]] broke out, he took control of several other [[Jiralhanae]]-held ships in the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] and brought them to attack the [[Sangheili]] ships.{{Ref/Reuse|goo192}} His ship, along with the ''[[Tenebrous]]'', tried to attack the [[Sangheili]] ship, ''[[Incorruptible]]'', but the attack was stopped when the ''[[Tenebrous]]'' was destroyed by the ''[[Incorruptible]]'' and the ''Twilight Compunction'' was attacked and damaged by the [[Sangheili]] carrier ''[[Lawgiver]]''.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 195''</ref>

===The chase===
His ship, along with the ''[[Tenebrous]]'', tried to attack the [[Sangheili]] ship, ''[[Incorruptible]]'', but the attack was stopped when the ''[[Tenebrous]]'' was destroyed by the ''[[Incorruptible]]'' and the ''Twilight Compunction'' was attacked and damaged by the [[Sangheili]] Carrier ''[[Lawgiver]]'' <ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 195''</ref>.
Gargantum's ship, along with the ''[[Revenant (ship)|Revenant]]'' and another frigate, followed the ''Incorruptible'' as it tried to escape. When the ship ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' dropped out of [[slipspace]] nearby, Gargantum hailed it and discovered it was controlled by a [[Blue Team|team of Spartans]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 223''</ref>


He sent one frigate to attack it,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 225''</ref> but while his forces were divided, the ''Revenant'' was destroyed by the ''Incorruptible''. Gargantum then took his two remaining ships to pursue the ''Bloodied Spirit''.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 229''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, his name does not contain the "us" suffix that normally signifies adulthood in [[Jiralhanae]] culture. This most likely indicates that Jiralhanae from different areas or tribes may use different suffixes (though "us" is still clearly the most widely used). More evidence of this comes from the Brute Chieftain [[Parabum]], who shares this unusual naming scheme.
