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> As such, 'Refumee was not on Installation 04 when [[John-117]] detonated the ''Pillar of Autumn'''s [[Fusion drive|engines]], destroying the ring.

After Alpha Halo's destruction, Installation 04's [[monitor]], [[343 Guilty Spark]], travelled to Threshold's gas mine shortly after the Halo's destruction. The monitor encountered initially hostile [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers that were a part of 'Refumee's unit. However, a [[Sangheili]] soldier found the monitor and brought Guilty Spark to 'Refumee. The monitor "edified" him about the true nature of the [[Halo Array]], the fate of the Forerunners, and the origins of the [[Flood]].

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 [[Kai-pattern 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, | 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, after the Arbiter was presented the same message by the Gravemind, John-117, and 343 Guilty Spark, he slowly came to believe it. Consequentially the ideals that Sesa 'Refumee's faction promoted were later revived during the [[Great Schism]] by the [[Covenant separatists]]. | ||

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 [[ | 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]].
