{{Quote|My brother, it seems our ancestors wished us to confront our stubbornness. Today, I killed you for your betrayals. You—you were strong. You ensured, that by dawn, I will join you. Perhaps, beyond the battles of this world, we will find a way to live together in peace once more.|Kitun 'Arach, shortly before his death<ref name="bos">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]'' - [[Mission Intel|Message to Jacul 'Arach 4/4]]</ref>}}

==Biography==
{{Quote|Jacul 'Arach, my brother. Now that we are free of the corruption of the San'Shyuum and the foolishness of Jul 'Mdama, you have no reason to refuse my offer of amnesty. Come home, brother.|Kitun 'Arach asks his brother to join him in the Covenant<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]'' - [[Mission Intel|Message to Jacul 'Arach 3/4]]</ref>}}
In [[2558#October|October 2558]], 'Arach fought in the [[Battle of Kamchatka]], where he led a Covenant [[lance]] trying to assault the hill leading to the temple where [[Jul 'Mdama]] and [[Catherine Halsey]] were stationed. Despite considerable firepower from a [[Kraken]] aiding them, 'Arach's forces were unable to break through the [[Promethean]] defenses, until [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Fireteam Osiris]] arrived and destroyed the numerous [[Promethean Soldier]]s and [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]] there. "Conflicting reports" of the battle suggest that 'Arach may have actually formed an unlikely alliance with the humans, temporarily fighting alongside Osiris so as to wipe out the Soldiers together.<ref name="fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Fifty Caliber'']</ref><ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Osiris (level)|Osiris]]''</ref>

After 'Mdama's death at Kamchatka, his Covenant regrouped for a full attack on the [[Vadam]] lands at [[Sanghelios]]. Kitun's brother [[Jacul 'Arach|Jacul]] sent him a message, urging him to leave the Covenant and join the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], but Kitun refused and urged his brother to join the Covenant instead.<ref name="intel">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', campaign level, ''[[Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios]]'' - [[Mission Intel|Message to Kitun 'Arach 1/2]]</ref>

During the [[Battle of Sunaion]], Kitun was one of the commanders who led the defense of the city.<ref name="fodder"/> During the battle he and his brother Jacul fought each other, and Kitun managed to kill him, but his brother mortally wounded him before he died. Regretful for killing his brother, in his dying breath Kitun wondered if he could make peace with Jacul in the afterlife.<ref name="bos"/>

==Equipment==
Kitun wore a [[Sangheili_Warrior#Armor|Warrior-class harness]], and carried a [[Type-55 storm rifle]] for protection during the Battle of Kamchatka.

==Production notes==
*According to [[Canon Fodder]], Kitun 'Arach is the Elite who can be rescued for the [[Enemy of my Enemy]] achievement. Doing so will turn him and any surviving Covenant under his command from enemies to an [[Non-playable character|NPC]] allies, a first in the series. Killing him does not affect the story, as his Mission Intel logs will still be found in the following levels.
