| ==Biography==
| | '''Kitun 'Arach''' was a [[Sangheili]] in service with [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]. In [[2558#October|October 2558]], Kitun's brother [[Jacul 'Arach|Jacul]] sent him a message, urging him to leave the Covenant and join the Swords of Sanghelios.<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]] he and his brother Jacul fought each other, and Kitun manage to kill Jacil, but his brother mortally wound him before he died. Regretfully for having killed his brother, in his dying wreath he wondered if he will encounter his brother in the other life.<ref>'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level, ''[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]'' - [[Mission Intel|Message to Jacul 'Arach 4/4]]</ref> |
| {{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 [[Jacul 'Arach|brother]] to join him in the Covenant{{Ref/Game|H5G|Mission Intel|Detail=Message to Jacul 'Arach 3/4}}}}
| |
| 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 {{Pattern|Shuul'se|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 [[Armiger Soldier]]s and [[Promethean Crawler|Crawlers]] there. Some accounts of the battle suggest that 'Arach formed an unlikely alliance with the humans, temporarily fighting alongside Osiris so as to wipe out the Soldiers together.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF50|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-fifty-caliber|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fifty Caliber|D=09|M=07|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Osiris|H5G|Osiris (level)|Osiris}}
| |
| | |
| After 'Mdama's death at Kamchatka, Kitun 'Arach wished to reshape the Covenant's leadership into a military council, inspired by renowned figures like [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]. Largely uninterested in continuing a costly war with [[human]]ity and his own kind, Kitun sought security, independence, and might for Sanghelios,{{Ref/Site|Id=CF132|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-high-value-histories|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - High Value Histories|D=08|M=09|Y=2022}} so his Covenant regrouped for a full attack on the [[Vadam]] lands at [[Sanghelios]], with 'Arach serving as one of the prominent commanders of Covenant forces during their assault on 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/Game|Id=intel|H5G|Mission Intel|Detail=Message to Kitun 'Arach 1/2}}

| | |
| During the [[Battle of Sunaion]], Kitun was one of the commanders who led the defense of the city.{{Ref/Reuse|CF50}} During the battle he and his brother Jacul fought each other. Kitun managed to kill Jacul, but his brother mortally wounded him before he died. Regretful for killing his brother, with his dying breath Kitun wondered if he could make peace with Jacul in the afterlife.{{Ref/Reuse|bos}} | |

| ==Equipment==
| |
| Kitun wore a [[Sangheili Warrior#Armor|Warrior-class harness]], and carried a {{Pattern|Kelos'vaarda|storm rifle}} for protection during the Battle of Kamchatka. In close-quarters, he would wield a {{Pattern|Domotos|energy sword}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Osiris}}

| | |
| ==Production notes==
| |
| According to [[Canon Fodder]], Kitun 'Arach is the Elite who can be rescued for the [[Enemy of my Enemy]] achievement.{{Ref/Reuse|CF50}} Doing so will turn him and any surviving Covenant under his command from enemies to [[Non-playable character|NPC]] allies, a first in the series. The achievement’s events are canonical, but killing him does not affect the story; his Mission Intel logs will still be found in the following levels.
