==Biography==

===Heretic uprising===

In [[2552#September|September 2552]], Sesa 'Refumee led an artifact retrieval group serving the [[Ministry of Tranquility]] within the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] alongside [[Loka 'Bandolee]]. After the fleet arrived at [[Installation 04]] in pursuit of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, 'Refumee's expeditionary group was sent to study a [[Forerunner]] [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] above [[Threshold]] at the behest of the [[Prophet of Stewardship]]. [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee disapproved of the mission, believing that all military forces needed to be concentrated on the human forces on the installation.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]] (2010)''', ''[[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]''</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} As such, 'Refumee was not on Installation 04 when [[John-117]] detonated the ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s [[Fusion drive|engines]], destroying the ring. However, when most of the Fleet of Particular Justice had been destroyed or left the system, Sesa 'Refumee and his forces were left stranded on the gas mine facility.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 243''</ref>

Sesa was branded a [[Treason|traitor]] and a [[List of known Covenant heretics|heretic]] by Truth, who sent Thel 'Vadamee, the newly appointed [[Arbiter]], to [[Raid on the Threshold gas mine|execute]] 'Refumee and to quell his heretical movement. At first, 'Refumee tried to protect himself by releasing the Flood in specific areas to kill the Arbiter and his [[Covenant Special Operations|strike team]], but this backfired and 'Refumee's followers were forced into a two-sided war. In the meantime, a perilous and lethal storm raged outside. Hoping the storm would kill his pursuers, 'Refumee sealed himself within an impenetrable protected zone of the station. To force 'Refumee out of hiding, 'Vadamee cut the cable that prevented the station from falling into the gas giant.{{Ref/Reuse|arbiter}} As 'Refumee attempted to make his escape in a {{Pattern|Kai|Seraph}} fighter, the Arbiter found him and demanded to know the source of 'Refumee's heretical beliefs, causing 343 Guilty Spark to show himself. Though the Monitor began attempting to edify the Arbiter, 'Refumee decided to attack him rather than attempt to convert the Arbiter to his side. Despite 'Refumee's clever use of [[holo-drone]]s, 'Vadamee soon killed him and retrieved 343 Guilty Spark from the station.{{Ref/Reuse|oracle}}

With the death of 'Refumee and most of his followers at the hands of the Arbiter, and with 343 Guilty Spark in the hands of [[Tartarus]] and the Hierarchs, the heresy was quelled. However, 'Refumee's words had planted a seed of doubt into 'Vadamee's mind.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} After the Arbiter was presented the same message by the [[Gravemind]], John-117, and 343 Guilty Spark, he slowly came to believe 'Refumee's words.<ref name="gravemind">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]''</ref> Ultimately, the ideals that Sesa 'Refumee's faction promoted were later revived during the [[Great Schism]] by the [[Covenant separatists]]. In the years following the war, Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee sought to recognize 'Refumee's efforts in changing the course of their species for the better, granting special dispensation to the members of 'Refum keep in the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}

==Gameplay==

For all intents and purposes, Sesa 'Refumee, on his own, is just a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Ranger|Ranger]] with differently-colored armor and shields that could withstand up to two [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] lunges, making him accurately comparable to a [[Sangheili Ultra]]. During his [[boss|boss fight]] he utilizes two [[holo-drone]]s to assist him in a fight and as a method to stay away from harm's reach. These holo-drones, when projected, create two identical models—albeit a darker armor tint—of himself, which deal real damage upon the player. When a holo-drone is "killed", the model will dissipate and the holo-drone ball will simply drop to the floor. On higher levels, defeating the first drones will make the real Sesa fly into one of the pipes and several more drones will appear. However, the real Sesa will often hide in one of the pipes on the top of the room. He will not respond to damage and can be easily killed with a [[Vostu-pattern carbine|Covenant carbine]] or [[Type-33 Needler|Needler]].
