==Biography==
===Draetheus V===
{{Main|Battle of Draetheus V}}
Following the [[Human-Covenant War]], and the [[Covenant]]'s dissolution, Vol created and led a [[Merg Vol's Covenant|reformed Covenant faction]]. In [[2554]],<ref name="catalog"/> Merg Vol led a [[Battle of Draetheus V|large-scale attack]] on the human colony of [[Draetheus V]] and its moon [[X50]], searching for [[Forerunner]] artifacts.<ref name="umbra"/> After seizing the moon, which was in fact a Forerunner device, he activated the artifact and directed it on Draetheus V in order to disassemble the planet and destroy the UNSC forces there.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''[[Operation C: Monolith]]''</ref> 

===Death===
At the end of the battle, the UNSC ordered [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] to eliminate Merg Vol. She confronted the Sangheili on X50, where he was supported by a large amount of [[Kig-Yar]]. After a fierce battle, Palmer was able to defeat Vol and executed him with her [[M6H Personal Defense Weapon System|M6H magnum sidearm]].<ref name="battle">'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon]]''</ref> Following his death, elements of Merg Vol's group joined [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]], including [[Parg Vol]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/The VIP|S1E3 - ''The VIP'']]</ref>

==Gameplay==
Merg Vol appears as the final boss fight of [[Operation E: Frostbite|Operation E]] [[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|mission 5]]. Until the release of [[Operation F: Hydra]], this was the concluding fight of the game.<ref name="battle"/>

After the player defeats three waves of Covenant infantry, Merg Vol appears armed with [[Type-1 Antipersonnel grenade|plasma grenades]] and a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]], which he fires overcharged at the player. After the player lowers one of Vol's shields he retreats to one of four pads to recharge, distracting the player with holographic decoys on the other three pads. Once recharged, he will attack the player using [[active camouflage]] and [[dual wielding]] [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]].<ref name="battle"/>

When the player removes Vol's shields a second time, he will recharge yet again. This time he re-emerges with a [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|Hardlight shield]], which the player must find a way around. At this point, he is particularly vulnerable to plasma grenades. Once the player removes his shields one last time, Merg Vol will convulse and collapse, at which point the player will be prompted to execute him with Palmer's magnum sidearm.<ref name="battle"/>
