'''Parg Vol''' was a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Warrior|warrior]], terrorist, and known associate of [[Shipmaster]] [[Jul 'Mdama]].


'''Parg Vol''' was a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Warrior|warrior]] and [[terrorism|terrorist]], and ultimately an associate of [[Jul 'Mdama]]. Born to [[Clan Vol]] on [[Malurok]], Vol served the [[Covenant]] guard as a [[field master]] until the [[Great Schism]]. With the Covenant's fracturing, Vol became an arms dealer and an assassin, serving first in [[Merg Vol's Covenant]],{{Ref/Reuse|hsa21}}{{Ref/Reuse|hsa22}}{{Ref/Reuse|hsa25}} before ultimately serving [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] as a [[Commander (Covenant)|commander]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|VIP}} However, during the [[Requiem Campaign]] of [[2558#February|February 2558]], Vol was [[Assassination of Parg Vol|assassinated]] by [[Fireteam Crimson]].{{Ref/Reuse|trip}}
==Biography
Between March [[2553]] and July [[2557]], he was the commanding officer on Draetheus V during the [[Battle of Draetheus V|Battle]] of [[Draetheus V]]. As his personal phantom was being stolen by Sarah Palmer, he ordered a frontal assault including wraith bombardment. <ref>[Spartan assault E-5 E-6''' Spartan Assault''', ''E-5 E-6,'']</ref>


==Biography==
In [[2558|February 2558]], he led [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] ground forces during the early stages of the [[Second Battle of Requiem]].<ref name="VIP">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/The VIP|S1E3 - ''The VIP'']]</ref> Soon after securing a foothold on [[Requiem]], the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] learned of Vol's then-current location. He had been overseeing a supply dump of captured UNSC matériel in the [[Quarry]]. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed to assassinate Vol, though the Elite escaped aboard a [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] as his forces engaged the Spartans.<ref name="VIP"/>
===Serving the Covenant===
Parg Vol was born to [[Clan Vol]] on [[2481|July 24, 2481]] on [[Malurok]], a [[Sangheili]] base world. Vol served the [[Covenant|Covenant Empire]] as a [[field master]] within the Covenant's guard. In [[2552#November|November 2552]], the [[Great Schism]] broke out after the [[Hierarchs]] betrayed the Sangheili. While holding a deep hatred of the [[Jiralhanae]] and [[San'Shyuum]], he also opposed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel Vadam]]'s alliance with the [[human]]s, believing the Sangheili should have wiped out humanity completely as well.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}


===Draetheus V===
As Fireteam Crimson were extracted from the supply dump, Parg Vol launched an attack on [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI's]] [[Galileo Base]].<ref name="VIP"/> He was sighted by [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] sentries during the attack, though he again escaped shortly after Crimson's arrival.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/Galileo|S1E3 - ''Galileo'']]</ref> UNSC forces eventually tracked him a [[Forerunner]] structure called [[the Gate]], which had recently been retaken from the UNSC. [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] redeployed Fireteam Crimson to kill the terrorist. After fighting through local Covenant forces of roughly company strength, the Spartans killed Parg Vol and eliminated all remaining hostiles.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/Hunting Trip|S1E3 - ''Hunting Trip'']]</ref>
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Vol enlisted with [[Merg Vol]] when his brother's [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] launched an [[Battle of Draetheus V|assault]] on [[Draetheus V]] in [[2554]]. While Merg commanded the attack on the [[Forerunner]]-created [[moon]] of [[X50]], Parg Vol served as the commanding officer of the Covenant forces on Draetheus V. Seeking a way to X50, [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] stole Vol's personal {{Pattern|R'shwupa|Phantom}} from his camp while the Sangheili was away.{{Ref/Reuse|hsa21}} As a [[combat engineer]] bypassed the Phantom's security protocols, Vol returned to his camp and realized Palmer's intent. Vol ordered a full frontal assault on Palmer's position, including {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}} bombardment. Despite his efforts, Palmer succeeded in hijacking the Phantom and traveling to X50,{{Ref/Level|Id=hsa22|SA|Mission 22: The Scorching of the Thicket|The Scorching of the Thicket}} where she assassinated Merg Vol. The battle was soon lost for the Covenant and the remnant fell apart.{{Ref/Level|Id=hsa25|SA|Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon}}


After the battle, Vol worked in arms deals and hit contracts before consolidating a small task force under [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]], joining solely due to his hatred of humanity and seeking revenge for his brother's demise.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF156}}
==Trivia==
 
*Parg Vol is the first Sangheili to be identified by name in-game.
===Requiem Campaign===
*Vol's name does not include the apostrophe that typically precedes Sangheili clan names. From a production standpoint this is likely an oversight; in-universe, it may have been excised due to difficulty in pronouncing the glottal click the apostrophe signifies.
In [[2558|February 2558]], he led Covenant ground forces during the early stages of the [[Requiem Campaign]],{{Ref/Reuse|VIP}} serving as a [[Commander (Covenant)|commander]].{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} Soon after securing a foothold on [[Requiem]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] learned of Vol's location. He had been overseeing a supply dump of captured UNSC matériel in the "[[Quarry]]." [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to assassinate Vol, though the Sangheili escaped aboard a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] as his forces engaged the Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|VIP}}

==Personality and traits==
Parg Vol was a ruthless [[Sangheili]] warrior and [[terrorist]]. With the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], Vol came to despise the [[San'Shyuum]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] for their treachery. However, he also opposed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s alliance with [[human]]ity, believing the Sangheili should wipe out the humans entirely as well. Though Vol was never particularly fervent in following the [[Covenant religion]], he joined [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant]], as his volatile hatred for humans aligned extremely well with 'Mdama's cause and because he saw 'Mdama's faction as the most effective asset to avenge his brother Merg Vol.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF156}}
 
==Equipment==
Parg Vol wore a [[Sangheili Warrior#Armor|Warrior-class combat harness]], featuring an elaborate helmet, high-framed greaves, and raised-claw armor that was largely ornamental. Vol often carried a heavy weapon for protection, such as the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
 
==Production notes==
It is possible to complete ''[[Catherine/Hunting Trip|Hunting Trip]]'' without killing Vol, although he has to be protected and forced into cover when the airstrike happens.
 
The "Parg Vol" [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplate]] unlockable in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' claims in its description that Parg is the brother of [[Merg Vol]] and (jokingly) another sibling named "Blarg". Parg and Merg Vol were eventually confirmed to be brothers on Canon Fodder #156: ''Fleetcom Fiction''.{{Ref/Reuse|CF156}}
