Editing Half-Jaw

<small>''Note: The name itself is fan-speculation. While accepted widely, it is not to be taken as Bungie canon, until such time as confirmed by Bungie. The true name may be confirmed in [[Halo: Ghosts of Coral]]. The [[Joyride Studios]] action figure of Half-Jaw was called "SpecOps Elite Commander"''</small>

"Half-Jaw", as he is known unofficially, for his name is not mentioned in [[Halo 2]] at all, is a [[Sangheili]] with white or "[[Ultra]]" armor, as [[Cortana]] calls those of his rank. He is a Commander of [[Covenant]] [[Special Ops Elites|Special Operations forces]]. He is mostly recognizible because he is missing his left mandibles, hence the fan-name, "Half-Jaw". 

==Biography==
Half-Jaw was present during the campaign against the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' at [[Installation 04|Halo]]. Sometime during his stay there, he fought against the [[Flood]]. He escaped before the ring was destroyed.

===The Heretics===
[[Image:Arbiter and Half-Jaw.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Half-Jaw makes it clear the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]]'s life means nothing to him.]]

He was assigned to hunt down the [[Heretic Leader]] on a [[Gas Mine|gas mining platform]] over [[Threshold]]. Joining him was the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]], recently sentenced by the High Council. Aboard a [[Phantom]], he provided reinforcements to the Arbiter as he progressed through the facility. Eventually finding the Heretic Leader, they chased him into another part of the platform. Half-Jaw got out and joined the Arbiter in his search on foot.

Half-Jaw is reminded of his past by a familiar "stench", moments before running into a battle between the [[Heretic]]s and the Flood. Clearing out the area of hostilities, they futher pursue the Heretic Leader until he locks himself behind an unbreakable energy barrier. Giving up, Half-Jaw was about to turn away until the Arbiter asks for his [[energy sword]] so he could cut the cables, possibly drawing out the fugitive. Half-Jaw agreed, giving his partner his prized possession. Leaving the Arbiter to his work, Half-Jaw left for his Phantom.

===Changing of the Guard===

Back in [[High Charity]], the [[Jiralhanae]] were taking over the position of [[Honor Guard]] to the High Prophets. Expressing his disdain to the Prophets of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Mercy|Mercy]], Half-Jaw was disgusted by this radical switch in tradition and customs. However, Truth refused to hear any more of it, and Half-Jaw was sent away. As he left, Truth muttered to himself "Politics, how tiresome".

===The Search for the Sacred Icon===
Soon afterward, he joined the Arbiter again to search for the [[The Index|Sacred Icon]], the key to make way for the [[Great Journey]]. He dropped off his partner and proceeded to give assistance through their radio frequency. Travelling in a Phantom, he and his squad set down and set up an encampment, which was soon after attacked by the Flood. Again, leaving the Arbiter on his own, he gains a [[Spectre]] and rejoined his friend later in the [[Quarantine Zone]]. They arrived at a massive gondola which takes them into the [[Library]] and towards the Sacred Icon. He ran off to draw some Flood away, allowing the Arbiter to obtain the Icon.

===Deactivating Halo===
Word got out that the Prophet of Truth had his hands on the Sacred Icon and the [[343 Guilty Spark|Oracle]] and was going to begin the Great Journey. Commandeering a [[Wraith]], Half-Jaw spotted a [[Scarab]] walker parked outside a Jiralhanae encampment. Meeting up with the Arbiter once again, they attacked the surprised Jiralhanae and met up with a squad of [[Lekgolo]] and other [[Sangheili]]. Half-Jaw was left behind when the Arbiter escorted [[Avery Jones Johnson|Johnson]] to the 
[[Control Room]], it is unknown of what happened to him.

==The Invincible Half-Jaw==
Much like [[Sergeant Johnson]], Half-Jaw is invincible throughout [[Halo 2]].

==Production Notes==
"Half-Jaw" was voiced by [[Robert Davi]] on ''Halo 2''. 

The "Half-Jaw" model for ''Halo 2'' was created by [[Marcus R. Lehto]].

Half Jaw only appears  during the following levels:
*[[Halo 2]]
**[[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]]
**[[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]]
**[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]
**[[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]]
**[[Uprising (Level)|Uprising]] <small>(Cutscene)</small>
**[[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]]

[[Joyride Studios]] had originally planned to produce ''Half-Jaw'' [[Action Figures]] in the eighth series of the Halo 2 8-inch figures, but the production was cancelled because they felt it was pointless to release another [[Elite]] figure with a different paint job. Also, in light of the [[Halo 3]] announcement, Joyride is hard at work producing figures for Halo 3. They did not feel that a Half Jaw figure was worth producing.
