'''Sav Fel''' is a [[Kig-Yar]] [[T'vaoan]] [[piracy|pirate]] operating in the aftermath of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="HTTW">'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 383''</ref> Fel owned a large manor five kilometers outside [[New Tyne]] on [[Venezia]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 59''</ref>

==Biography==
===Service with the Covenant===
Sav Fel served in the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. During the war, he witnessed numerous [[human colonies]] being [[glassed]] by the Covenant. He had seen several [[Forerunner]] artifacts and ruins during his service.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 63''</ref> 

===Criminal career===
After the war, Fel became a pirate who came to the attention of [[Kilo-Five]] during their time at Sanghelios due to his apparent possession of the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|HTTW}}<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 329''</ref> Fel had been entrusted by the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]] to transport the ship to one of their shipyards. When the [[Blooding Years]] erupted, he decided to take the ship, planning to sell it later.

In [[2553#April|April 2553]], he was observed by [[Naomi-010]] and [[Vasily Beloi]] in [[New Tyne]], [[Venezia]] in the same vehicle as the [[insurrectionist]] [[Staffan Sentzke]].<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 430-431''</ref> Sentzke later visited Fel at his home, located just five kilometers outside New Tyne. There they discussed the transaction of ''Pious Inquisitor''. As payment, Fel demanded [[particle beam rifle]]s, [[dropship]]s, and [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]]. Sentzke stated that he would first need to see the ship and test its [[energy projector|ventral beam]]. Fel informed him that the ship was in another system and that he planned to show him something extra when he saw the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> 

A week later, Fel called Sentzke and told him that he was ready to take him to the ship. The next day, he met with Staffan and his son [[Edvin Sentzke|Edvin]] on [[Weymouth Island]]. They left Venezia in Fel's [[missionary ship|missionary vessel]] and boarded the ''Pious Inquisitor''. Fel introduced them to the onboard [[Huragok]], [[Sometimes Sinks]], and offered him as an AI replacement.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 109-116''</ref> They traveled to the [[Shaps system]] where Fel planned to demonstrate the ship's destructive power by [[glassing]] a barren planet. While enroute to the planet, Sav-Fel and his lieutenants, [[Eith Mor]] and [[Dhak]], began arguing about getting the deal closed, getting paid and then lying low. Arriving on [[Shaps III]], Sometimes Sinks told Fel that he couldn't use the ship's energy projectors since there were [[Forerunner]] artifacts on the surface of the planet. Fel decided to put the Huragok in the brig while they tested the energy projectors, although he was worried that the Huragok might reconfigure the locks.

As Fel prepared to test the beam, Edvin asked him about the Covenant's ritual cleansing ceremony, but Fel informed him that he was never present for such things. Fel and his crew then activated the ventral beam and glassed a Forerunner site on the planet. Sometimes Sinks accessed the ship's broadcast system and began wailing, upset that they were destroying Forerunner artifacts. Sav Fel sent Dhak to go quiet Sinks. After seeing the planet's molten surface, Staffan asked to try out the cleansing beam for himself, to which Fel approved. After glassing a portion of the planet, Sentzke finished the ship's transaction with Fel and kept Sinks in exchange for one [[D82-EST Darter|Darter ship]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 125-134''</ref> With the deal completed, Sav Fel's crew parted separate ways and Fel returned to his home in Venezia, pleased to have finally sold the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 180''</ref>

===Reclaiming the ''Pious Inquisitor''===
At around the same time, [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] of the Servants of the Abiding Truth put out a reward to the Kig-Yar for the whereabouts of the ''Pious Inquisitor''. A T'vaoan shipmistress named [[Chol Von]] accepted his contract, planning to located the ship and acquire it for herself. Chol eventually tracked down Fel's lieutenant, Eith, and learned they had already sold it to the human [[Venezian militia|militia on Venezia]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 223''</ref> 

Chol and her crew later arrived on Venezia and confronted Fel at his home, kidnapping him and taking him aboard their ship ''[[Paragon]]''. Fel refused to tell Chol the location of the warship, fearing that doing so would anger Sentzke and place the lives of his chicks and mate at risk. Chol asked him to just concoct a story when he returned home that would allow him to escape any kind of retribution after revealing the location of the ship. Fel agreed and was taken along by the crew of ''Paragon'' to the ''Pious Inquisitor'', still in orbit around Shaps III. Meanwhile, Fel's mate had noticed that he disappeared. Initially blaming Staffan, his mate realized that Staffan was not responsible for Sav's disappearance and instead ordered Staffan to search for Fel.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 236''</ref> 

Chol would not let Fel leave until her crew controlled the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 271-278''</ref> Sav cooperated with Von and her crew with ease and warned her of [[Sometimes Sinks]]' noncompliance.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 329''</ref> Fel remained with [[Zim]] on ''Paragon'''s [[bridge]], as Chol and others of her crew [[Naval boarding|boarded]] the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 330''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
Fel generally remained emotionless and stoic when dealing with customers. Sav Fel had little care for [[Forerunner]] objects, unless they were useful. He did not believe in the [[Covenant religion]], considering the Forerunners to be false gods and just an "[[extinction|extinct]] alien race". He remained unmoved when he was [[glassing]] the ruins on [[Shaps III]]'s surface, despite [[Sometimes Sinks]]' objections.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 127-128''</ref> When Sinks began wailing over the destruction of the Forerunner artifacts on Shaps III, Fel just became annoyed and sent [[Dhak]] to go quiet the Huragok, believing that Sinks was ruining a sale.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 130''</ref> Sav Fel did care for his family and clan members, having them move with him to [[Venezia]] for safety. He was initially unwilling to cooperate with [[Chol Von]] to steal the ''Inquisitor'' back from Staffan, believing the human would kill his mate and chicks.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 234''</ref>

Despite being kidnapped from his homestead, Fel was still very relaxed and calm, as well as willing to cooperate rather rapidly with Chol Von and her crew to find the ''Pious Inquisitor''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 331''</ref> He was willing to pay Von in [[gekz]] to get a ride back to Venezia and was still untroubled with tagging along with the crew to capture the ''Inquisitor''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 274''</ref>

He thought lowly of the [[Sangheili]], believing that their obsession with honor and reliance on the [[San'Shyuum]] was causing their [[Blooding Years|struggle]] after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 62''</ref> During his criminal career, Fel had created many enemies and rivals that were willing to turn him in to authorities or steal his "merchandise".<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 165''</ref>

==Trivia==
Sav Fel is the first T'vaoan to be identified by name in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]].
