==Biography==
==Biography==
Horatius was one of many Jiralhanae who accompanied Atriox to the remnants of [[Installation 00]], where the Banished would learn about the existence of the [[Harbinger]] and the [[Xalanyn]], also known as the Endless, whom the [[Forerunners]] had imprisoned on [[Zeta Halo]]. In November of [[2559]], Horatius accompanied Atriox back to the Milky Way as part of the [[Exodus Guard]], after the Banished managed to open a portal to the Ark from [[Reach]]. Shortly afterwards, Horatius traveled with Atriox and his fleet to Zeta Halo. After Atriox's presumed demise, Horatius vowed to honor the [[warmaster]]’s memory and ensure the release of the [[Xalanyn]]. He spent the next six months under the command of [[Escharum]], fighting the remnants of the [[UNSC]] on Zeta Halo.{{Ref/Reuse|CFHVT}}


After the discovery and release of the Harbinger from her [[cylix]], Horatius was appointed as an "honor guard" for the Banished's new ally while she worked to [[Reformation|restore]] the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]], which she intended to use to locate and free the rest of the Xalanyn.
