'''Hyperius''' was a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Spartan Killer]] in the service of the [[Banished]] and a brother to the fellow warrior [[Tovarus]].{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/halo/sets/defense-point-showdown|Site=Mega Construx|Page=Defense Point Showdown|Id=MEGA-DPS}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CF113|D=10|M=5|Y=2021|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/peek-design|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Peek Design}} During the [[Installation 07]] [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]] in [[2560]], he and his brother were killed by [[Spartan-II]] [[John-117]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Biography==
===Banished service===
Hyperius had once served as part of the [[Bloodstars]] unit within the Banished. Ruthless and aggressive, Hyperius actively sought out the greatest challenge his opponents could offer. Eventually, he was offered by [[Escharum]] to join the [[Hand of Atriox]]. Hyperius was an exemplary Spartan killer, having been responsible for the deaths of over a dozen Spartan operatives, wearing trophies pulled from the armor of each defeated opponent.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P455|Enc22|Page=454}}

===Hunting the Master Chief===
{{Main|Installation 07 conflict}}
In [[2560]], Hyperius participated in the [[Installation 07]] [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]], during which he and Tovarus killed many Spartans, including [[Theodore Sorel]]. Later, they were sent by [[Escharum]] to hunt down [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]]. Hyperius and Tovarus engaged the Spartan after he had destroyed three [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon]]s, with Hyperius mounted on his custom [[Bolroci Workshop Chopper|Chopper]] and Tovarus raining down fire with his [[Grenflekt Workshop Scrap Cannon]]. They were unsuccessful in killing John-117, and both brothers died at the Spartan's hands.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Hi|HI|Graveyards|Pelican Down}}

==Personality and traits==
Hyperius was seemingly very attached to his brother,{{Ref/Quest|HINF|Graveyards|Pelican Down|Quote=Brother! I'll kill you slowly for that, Spartan!|Quotee=Hyperius if Tovarus dies first}} a sentiment that Tovarus did not appear to share.{{Ref/Quest|HINF|Graveyards|Pelican Down|Quote=The coward deserved what he got! Now face me, Spartan!|Quotee=Tovarus if Hyperius dies first}} Hyperius had amber-colored eyes.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Equipment==
Hyperius had the helmet and torso from [[Jameson Locke]]'s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2]] [[HUNTER-class Mjolnir]] armor mounted to one of his pauldrons, as trophies.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}{{Ref/Game|HI|random [[Banished]] [[propaganda tower]] dialogue|Quote=Man, that Spartan Locke sure did know how to get ahead - which is why Hyperius used his helmet as arm decoration!|Quotee=[[Glibnub]]}} He also wore a [[keepsake|war trophy]] necklace composed of what appears to be the fingers of Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|MEGA-DPS}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF113}} He rode the [[Catulus Chopper]], a custom variant of the [[Bolroci Workshop Chopper|Banished Chopper]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} He also wielded a [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]] and a [[SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle]], and carried [[spike grenade]]s. His armor was also equipped with personal [[energy shields]] and a [[jump pack]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}
