'''First Blade officer Resa 'Azavayl''' was a [[Sangheili]] warrior who commanded a squad of the [[Covenant Special Operations|special operations]] division, the [[Silent Shadow]].<ref name="HP">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Hunting Party]]''</ref>

==Biography==

After the [[Covenant]]'s betrayal of the Sangheili and the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]], Resa 'Azavayl felt that his devotion to the Prophets' [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]] had made him lose sight of the honor dear to his species and the peace it brought. Seeking out absolution, Resa became devoted to hunting down all the treacherous [[Jiralhanae]] and those found associating with them. 'Azavayl led his fellow Silent Shadow commandos on an exhaustive mission to wipe out Jiralhanae forces across multiple systems, slaughtering them at an armory on the fourth moon of [[Victors' Truth]], aboard the stolen [[Covenant corvette]] ''[[Adherent]]'', at the northern highlands of [[Thalia]], aboard a derelict colonial substation orbiting [[Sansar]], and eradicating the last remaining members of [[Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]]' crew aboard the Covenant cruiser ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. As time progressed, 'Azavayl's personal war against the Sangheili's former allies began to wear on his subordinates.{{Ref/Reuse|HP}}

At some point, Resa's squad embarked on a mission to eliminate Jiralhanae aboard the {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''. He and his men infiltrated the vessel and caught several Jiralhanae off-guard thanks to the use of their armor's [[active camouflage]]. Unbeknownst to them, ''Elegy's Lament'' was crewed by the [[Banished]] and commanded by the faction's chief, [[Atriox]]. Despite being cloaked, the Banished detected their infiltration and Atriox noticed the assassins' scents when they entered the [[bridge]]. He invited the would-be assassins to show themselves and proceeded to question their transgressions, mocking 'Azavayl's stubborn adherence to honor and vengeance. Preferring not to fight against the Silent Shadow, Atriox reminded Resa and the rest that he was not their enemy and extended them an offer to join the Banished. Resa was not amused by Atriox, whom he deemed as ''the Betrayer'', declaring that he and the Banished deserved death for their "sins". Resa's  brothers in arms, however, felt their mission no longer held purpose considering the changing state of the [[Milky Way galaxy|galaxy]] and wished to join Atriox. Believing Resa was blinded by old loyalties and festering delusions of vengeance, his subordinates reluctantly turned on him and drove their [[Type-1 energy sword|energy swords]] through his chest, impressing the Warmaster. Then, they vowed to carry out Atriox's will across the galaxy until nothing left remained except fervent peace.{{Ref/Reuse|HP}}
