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]].

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.

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}}

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]].
