'''Sesa 'Refumee''' was the leader of [[ | {{quote|The Elites are blind, [[Arbiter]], but I will make them see.|Sesa 'Refumee}} | ||
'''Sesa 'Refumee'''<ref>[[Halo 2 s8 Heretic Elite Leader]]</ref> (referred to in [[Halo 2]] simply as '''The Heretic Leader''') was the leader of the [[Heretic|Heretics]], who had taken control of the [[Gas Mine]] of [[Threshold]] and on [[Basis]], the gas giant and its moon of which [[Installation 04]] rests between. | |||
== Summary == | |||
{{quote|I wondered who the Prophets would send to silence me. An Arbiter? I'm flattered.|The Heretic Leader to [[The Arbiter]].}} | |||
The Heretic Leader commanded an Artifact Retrieval Group attached to the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]] at the first [[Halo]] ring, [[Installation 04]]. Busy investigating a [[Forerunner]] mining facility in the upper | |||
atmosphere of the Gas-giant, [[Threshold]], 'Refumee was suspicious enough not to be on the [[Halo|Ringworld]] when [[Master Chief]] destroyed it. Sesa 'Refumee first encountered [[Halo]]'s monitor, [[343 Guilty Spark]], a few days after Halo’s destruction. The Monitor "edified" him about the true nature of [[Halo]], the fate of the [[Forerunners]] and the origins of the [[Flood]]. This knowledge inspired 'Refumee and his [[Elites]] to revolt against the [[Prophets]], a decision that led to outright civil war. | |||
The Heretic Leader was branded as a traitor and Heretic by the [[High Prophet of Truth]], and for that reason, sent the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] to execute 'Refumee. As he attempted to make his escape in a [[Seraph]] Starfighter the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] found him and engaged him in combat. Despite his clever use of [[Holo-Drone]]s, the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] successfully murdered 'Refumee and purged the expendable Heretic uprising. Any [[Heretics]] that were not killed by [[Rtas 'Vadumee]]'s strike team were killed by the [[Flood]], or plunged to their deaths by the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] slashing the cables that held up the [[Gas Mine]] station. | |||
Interestingly, when the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] kills [[Tartarus]] and joins the [[Covenant Separatists|Sanghelli Seperatists]], he becomes a traitor too, similar to the assassinated 'Refumee. It is unknown whether or not the cast out [[Elites]] would have joined forces with 'Refumee's [[Heretics]]. Another interesting point to note is that while [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and others removed the "ee" suffix from their names after leaving the [[Covenant]], 'Refumee did not. | |||
[[Image:Holodrones.jpg|thumb|right|210px|]] | |||
With the Heretic Leader’s death at the hands of the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] and the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Guilty Spark]]'s destruction by the [[Master Chief]], the specifics of the [[Monitor]]’s revelations may be lost forever. | |||
== Combat == | |||
For all intents and purposes, the Heretic Leader, on his own, is just a [[Ranger]] [[Elite]] (he changed his color of armor as a sign of rebellion, you will also realize that many of the [[Grunts]] on the side of the Heretic has also changed armor as a sign of rebellion) with differently-colored armor and shields that can withstand two [[Energy Sword]] lunges, making him accurately comparable to an [[Ultra Elite]]. | |||
However, what makes the fight with him difficult is that he does not fight alone. As seen in the pre-battle cutscene, he creates two holographic clones to fight alongside him. While these doubles are holographic images, their damage is real, and will present as much as a threat as the Heretic leader himself. When you "kill" the holo-drones, the 3-D image of the Heretic leader vanishes and the basic drone falls to the floor. | |||
On [[Easy]] and [[Normal]] difficulties it is enough just to ignore the drones on the floor and kill him when he takes off from the top of the fighter. | |||
On [[Heroic]] difficulty, the easiest option is to just wipe out each Heretic Leader individually, using the [[Energy Sword]] and [[Active Camouflage|Active Camo]] to sneak up on them, taking cover when you need to. ''Note: You can find an [[Energy Sword]] off to the right at the side of the hangar if you haven't got one already''. An interesting point of note is that the Heretic Leader is invincible when he is escaping from the player using the top ducts located throughout the room; his shield can be taken down, but no amount of blasting with any weapon can kill him. | |||
[[Image:GS-Heretic.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Alongside 'Refumee, 343 Guilty Spark preaches.]] | |||
On [[Legendary]], there is no easy option, as only a few plasma bolts will kill you, sometimes in a second or so. Dual [[Needlers]] are very effective at long ranges, and watching the motion sensor and spraying the holos and the Heretic Leader as they spill out of the ducts near the ceiling are the best ways. It only takes a few needles to destroy the holo drones and/or hurt the boss. The [[Energy Sword]] can work with only a few holos, but as time goes as many as 4+ holograms can attack you. [[Active Camouflage]] and hiding at the bottom of the level are key. Without cover, you are a sitting duck. Even running is not enough to escape the plasma bolts of the Heretic Leader and his clones. | |||
Another, easier way to kill the Heretic Leader on [[Legendary]] is to use the glitch giving you unlimited sword battery life in conjunction with a [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]. Simply collect a [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] and [[Energy Sword]] in the level '[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]', use up the entire battery of the [[Sword]], and then proceed through the level '[[The Oracle (level)|The Oracle]]' using only the [[Energy Sword]]. This feat is possible, even on [[Legendary]]. When you come up against the Heretic Leader, you should still have an [[Energy Sword]] with unlimited ammo and a Fuel Rod Cannon with (hopefully) 25 shots. Then you simply empty your clip whenever you see the Heretic Leader emerge from the ducts on the ceiling. | |||

Sesa | == Production Notes == | ||
Sesa 'Refumee was voiced by [[Miguel Ferrer]] in ''[[Halo 2]]''. | |||
He appeared in the following ''[[Halo 2]]'' levels: | |||
*[[Halo 2]] | |||
**[[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] | |||
**[[The Oracle (Level)|The Oracle]] | |||
[[Joyride Studios]] released a Heretic Leader [[Action Figures|Action Figure]] in series 8 of their ''Halo 2'' 8 inch action figure collection. | |||
[[WizKids]] produced a miniature figure of Sesa 'Refumee in their first set of [[Halo ActionClix]] products wielding dual [[Plasma Rifles]]. 'Refumee is one of the most powerful units in the initial release, being worth 200 points. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *Sesa 'Refumee is one of the least used bipeds in the Halo trilogy, as he only appears on two levels. | ||
*Sesa 'Refumee is the first Halo 2 "Boss" that you fight. | |||
* | *Sesa 'Refumee is the leader of the Heretics, as he left the [[Covenant]] and started a rebellion. | ||
*The Heretic Leader's tasked and favored weapons are dual-wielded [[Plasma Rifle]]s, even though his Heretic warriors wield [[Covenant Carbine]]s ''not'' Plasma Rifles. | |||
*When you fight him, he uses two holo-drones to confuse you. You can destroy these, but if damaged you can tell which is a holo-drone and which is the real Sesa 'Refumee. | |||
*His use of a jump-pack probably means his was ranked as a Ranger Elite, or higher. | |||
*It is unknown why he did not drop the 'ee suffix when leaving the Covenant, as most of the Separatists Elites did. Most likely it was not decided that [[Elites]] should drop the "ee" suffix until all the Elites dropped out of the [[Covenant]], creating the [[Covenant Separatists]]. | |||
*He has different armor than that of a normal Elite. This was probably meant to show his separation from the Covenant. | |||
*He is one of three "bosses" that you fight in Halo 2, the others are the Prophet of Regret, and Tartarus. (unless you count the Scarab) | |||
*Sesa 'Refumee was in some ways the first of the separatists. | |||
*He can only use four weapons: dual plasma rifles, energy sword, covenant carbine, and the sentinel beam. | |||
*The easy way to win the battle is, to keep an eye on the real one then kill him. | |||
*Despite the fact Sesa was only in Halo 2, he was released with the Halo Action Clix which were made to promote Halo 3. The figure is "Super Rare" according to the series key. | |||
