'''Lepidus''' was the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Shipmaster]] of the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]'' in the [[Fleet of Furious Redemption]].<ref name="is1">'''Halo: Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 1|Issue 1]]''</ref>
'''Lepidus''' was a powerful [[Jiralhanae]] [[Shipmaster]] of the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]'' in the [[Fleet of Furious Redemption]]. He was the first [[Covenant]] to hear of the [[Key of Osanalan]]. He then informed the [[High Prophet of Truth]] of the Key, which sparked the [[Battle of Cleveland]]. He was last seen reporting to the High Prophet of Truth aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], when the [[Master Chief]] attempted to assassinate Truth. Truth escaped, but it's unclear whether Lepidus went with him, or if he stayed to fight the Chief. If he did the latter, he is most likely dead, as the Chief wiped out all Covenant soldiers in the room.


==Biography==
===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''.
*He is a [[Brute]] [[Ship Master]], with a unique armor color.
