{{quote|The Elites are blind, [[Arbiter]], but I will make them see.|Sesa 'Refumee}}


'''Sesa 'Refumee''', was the Heretic leader referred to in ''Halo 2'' as simply the [[Heretic]], who had taken control of the [[Gas Mine]] on [[Threshold]] and a small [[Burial Mounds|base]] on [[Basis]], the gas giant's moon which [[Installation 04]] rests between. It is possible there are more bases scattered about.

== 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]]. 'Refumee was busy investigating a [[Forerunner]] [[Gas Mine|mining facility]] in the upper atmosphere of the Gas-giant, [[Threshold]], and was fortunate enough not to be on the 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 amongst them. He also began to preach the truth to other [[Elites]] in hopes that others would rally to their cause, which infuriated [[Truth]].

Sesa was branded as a traitor and [[Heretic]] by the [[High Prophet of Truth]], and for that reason, sent the Arbiter to [[Battle of the Gas Mine|execute]] 'Refumee. First, he tried to hide and therefore protect himself by sending the flood out in specific areas to kill the Arbiter and his [[Covenant Special Operations|strike team]] in the Gas Station, as a perilous Storm that would kill everyone outside the station raged. The Arbiter cut the cable that prevented the station from falling into the Gas-Giant, to force him out. As he attempted to make his escape in a [[Seraph]] Starfighter, the Arbiter found him and egaged him in battle. Despite his clever use of [[Holo-Drone]]s, the Arbiter successfully dispatches 'Refumee and purges the expendable Heretic uprising. Any Heretics that were not killed by [[Rtas 'Vadumee]]'s strike team were likely killed by the Flood, or plunged to their deaths by the Arbiter that slashed the cables that held up the [[Gas Mine]] station.
 
[[Image:Holodrones.jpg|thumb|right|210px|'Refumee with 2 Holodrones]]
With the Heretic Leader's death at the hands of the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] and [[343 Guilty Spark|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 notice that the [[Elites]] and [[Grunts]] in the Heretic faction have also changed armor as well) with differently-colored armor and shields that can withstand two [[Energy Sword]] lunges, making him accurately comparable to an [[Ultra Elite]].  He likes to use [[holo-drones]] to help him fight and also as a disguise to hide in a fight as you see him do when you defeat him on the level The Oracle. 

What makes the fight with him difficult, however, is that he does not fight alone. As seen in the pre-battle cutscene, he creates two [[Holodrone|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 holographs flying around and kill him when he takes off from the top of the fighter, but on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]], you have to pay attention.

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, mostly if you need to recharge your camo or to recharge your shields which are important when trying to sneak attack him. ''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 holographs.

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 magazine whenever you see the Heretic Leader emerge from the ducts on the ceiling.

== 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, and also released the hologram version of the heretic leader which is rare to find.

[[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==
*Sesa's armor is very similar to the other Heretic Elite's armor.
*Sesa 'Refumee is the first known [[Elite]] to to break away from the Covenant, and the first to possibly know the truth of Halo.
*Sesa 'Refumee is the leader of the [[Heretics]], as he left the [[Covenant]] and started a rebellion.
*Even though 'Refumee left the [[Covenant]], he didn't remove the warrior "ee" suffix from his name.
*The [[Heretic]] Leader's favored weapons are dual-wielded [[Plasma Rifle]]s, even though his [[Heretic]] warriors wield [[Covenant Carbine]]s, not [[Plasma Rifles]].
*He can only use four weapons: [[Plasma Rifle]], [[Energy Sword]], [[Covenant Carbine]], and the [[Sentinel Beam]]: However, he is not scripted with any but the first in game, and modding is necessary to see the other animations.
*Despite the fact that 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.
*There is a glitch in which if you keep lunging at Sesa through the window on ''[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]'', when he escapes on a [[Banshee]] you will go through, and then you should throw a plasma grenade at the [[Banshee]] so he can't get in it. If you push him off he will die (if you push him off with a [[Banshee]], he won't die, even if you attack him or if he falls out of the map). Also, you can watch the [[Elites]] and the [[Phantom]] shoot at him, as he is a enemy, but they don't know he's invincible.
*The Sesa 'Refumee action figure and High [[Prophet Of Regret]]'s have been known to be the only action figures to have holographic versions.
*In [[The Oracle]], at the part where you see him run behind the force field, you cannot kill him, though you can wound him as much as you can before he gets there.
*The Heretic Leader is one of the least used Bipeds in the Halo trilogy.

-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]].
-==Production note==
+[[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.

-Sesa 'Refumee is voiced by [[Miguel Ferrer]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and by [[John DiMaggio]] in ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals.<ref>'''Halo 2''', ''[[Halo 2 credits|credits]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''', ''[[Remaking the Legend]]''</ref> His voice actor in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals is uncredited.
 ==Trivia==
-*Even though 'Refumee left the [[Covenant]], he did not remove the "-ee" suffix from his name, which denotes service in the Covenant military. Out of universe, this is most likely a result of his name having been given before ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'' established the meaning of the "-ee" suffix.
+*Sesa's armor is very similar to the other Heretic Elite's armor.
-*Despite considering [[Thel 'Vadamee]] the one person he could trust with [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s revelations,{{Ref/Reuse|h2aterm}} when granted the opportunity during his final confrontation with Thel, he instead used Spark's appearance as a distraction rather than trying to use the "Oracle" to convince Thel of the truth.{{Ref/Reuse|oracle}}
+*Sesa 'Refumee is the first known [[Elite]] to to break away from the Covenant, and the first to possibly know the truth of Halo.
-*His homeworld is erroneously listed as Sanghelios in his Waypoint profile.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211105095037/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/sesa-refumee Halo Waypoint]</ref>
+*Sesa 'Refumee is the leader of the [[Heretics]], as he left the [[Covenant]] and started a rebellion.
+*Even though 'Refumee left the [[Covenant]], he didn't remove the warrior "ee" suffix from his name.
+*The [[Heretic]] Leader's favored weapons are dual-wielded [[Plasma Rifle]]s, even though his [[Heretic]] warriors wield [[Covenant Carbine]]s, not [[Plasma Rifles]].
+*He can only use four weapons: [[Plasma Rifle]], [[Energy Sword]], [[Covenant Carbine]], and the [[Sentinel Beam]]: However, he is not scripted with any but the first in game, and modding is necessary to see the other animations.
+*Despite the fact that 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.
+*There is a glitch in which if you keep lunging at Sesa through the window on ''[[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]'', when he escapes on a [[Banshee]] you will go through, and then you should throw a plasma grenade at the [[Banshee]] so he can't get in it. If you push him off he will die (if you push him off with a [[Banshee]], he won't die, even if you attack him or if he falls out of the map). Also, you can watch the [[Elites]] and the [[Phantom]] shoot at him, as he is a enemy, but they don't know he's invincible.
+*The Sesa 'Refumee action figure and High [[Prophet Of Regret]]'s have been known to be the only action figures to have holographic versions.
+*In [[The Oracle]], at the part where you see him run behind the force field, you cannot kill him, though you can wound him as much as you can before he gets there.
+*The Heretic Leader is one of the least used Bipeds in the Halo trilogy.
