| ===Battle of Cleveland===
| |
| {{Main|Battle of Cleveland}}
| |
| Lepidus was the first member of the Covenant to hear of the [[Key of Osanalan]] after torturing [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]]. He then informed the [[High Prophet of Truth]] of the Key, which sparked the [[Battle of Cleveland]].{{Ref/Reuse|is1}} He then reported to the High Prophet of Truth aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], where the [[John-117|Master Chief]] attempted to assassinate Truth.

|
| Truth successfully escaped, as did Lepidus, but every Covenant unit who stayed in the room was killed by John-117. Lepidus later returned aboard the ''Triumphant Declaration'' in the orbit of [[Mars]], furious at Colonel James Ackerson for tricking the Covenant into believing in the Key of Osanalan. He then beheaded Ackerson with his [[Jiralhanae combat knife|combat knife]].<ref>'''Halo: Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>

| *Lepidus' armor looks like the original [[Brute Captain]]'s armor, cut from ''[[Halo 3]]''. This is likely due to the fact that the first issue of ''[[Halo: Uprising]]'' was released before ''Halo 3''.

| *[[wikipedia:Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (triumvir)|Lepidus]] was also the name of a Roman politician and General who, along with Octavian (later known as Emperor Augustus) and Marcus Antonious (Marc Antony) formed the Second Triumvirate, which governed the Roman Republic from 43-33 b.c.e. He was ultimately ousted from power by his former friend, Augustus, and died in relative obscurity.
