==History==
===Origin===
===Origin===
When the [[Great Schism]] occurred, the [[Covenant]] was divided in two. The majority of the [[San'Shyuum]] and [[Jiralhanae]] remained loyal to the [[Truth's fleet|Covenant]] while, the [[Sangheili]] led the [[Fleet of Retribution|forces]] abandoning the empire. As a San'Shyuum, [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]] found himself on the side of the Covenant, led by the [[High Prophet of Truth]]. During the [[Fall of High Charity|battle of High Charity]], Tem's family was killed by the [[Flood]] invasion,{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}} and blamed their death on the Sangheili's interference. [[Minister (title)|Minister]] [[Boru'a'Neem]] promised he would help Tem avenge his family's death if they escaped together. After their escape, they went into hiding as the Covenant was defeated at the hands of the Sangheili and [[UNSC]] forces. Following the war's end, Tem and Boru created a new faction.

This new faction employed species who were on the losing side of the Covenant civil war, and was predominantly composed of Jiralhanae. Aware of the truth about the [[Halo Array]], 'Bhetek and a'Neem forsook the [[Covenant religion]] entirely, though many of their Jiralhanae subordinates continued to cling onto their beliefs in the "Great Journey" despite the two San'Shyuum publicly proclaiming the concept as false.{{Ref/Reuse|religion}}


===Vendetta===
===Vendetta===
After being defeated by the Sangheili, this faction sought revenge against their species. Unlike Boru'a'Neem, Tem'Bhetek had a smaller scale, more personal vendetta against [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', as he viewed them responsible for the death of his family. Unknown to Tem'Bhetek, the faction planned to use a [[prototype Halo installation]] to commit genocide against the Sangheili species by activating it near [[Sanghelios]].<ref>''Halo: Fractures'' - ''Halo: Shadow of Intent'' - Page 206 - "'Transport the ring to where?' The Minister cocked his head to one side. He looked genuinely puzzled and disappointed that Tem hadn't already guessed.'To Sanghelios of course'"</ref>

The faction's first target was the Sangheili colony of [[Rahnelo]]. Using the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Spear of Light]]'', Tem leads Jiralhanae forces to attack the civilians on the planet's surface. The Sangheili civilians defended themselves to some extent taking several Jiralhanae with them but ultimately lost the battle. Tem had successfully kidnapped [[Kaidon]] [[Tulum 'Juranai]] and his two sons, and later executed them as test subjects for the activation of the [[prototype Halo installation]]. The [[attack on Rahnelo]] served as the first part of the faction's plan to lure in the ''Shadow of Intent''.
 
Following the massacre, the faction proceeded to attack another Sangheili colony, [[Duraan]]. The ''Shadow of Intent'' engaged the faction's ''Spear of Light'' but failed to destroy it due to the interference of the planet's sun. The crew of the ''Spear of Light'' then [[Ambush at Duraan|boarded]] the ''Shadow of Intent'' attempting to take over the ship. A firefight ensued throughout the hanger bay and several decks of the ship. All the Jiralhanae forces were killed and Tem was taken prisoner.
 
Rtas 'Vadum located the faction's headquarters from the ''Spear of Light'''s database and took the ''Shadow of Intent'' to the prototype Halo installation to destroy it.  Tem had managed to escape and return to Boru'a'Neem inside the installation where he learned the truth about what happened to his family. When High Charity fell, Boru had told Tem that his family was dead in order to escape. Realizing that his family was still alive for some time and that he could have potentially saved them, Tem felt betrayed by Boru. Now taking full control of the faction, Boru ordered several Yanme'e to open fire on Tem, wounding him further. Rtas and his soldiers fought the last of the faction's forces at the installation. Realizing who his true enemies were, Tem destroyed the installation ultimately helping Rtas and his soldiers escape. After the destruction of the installation, the faction ceased to exist.
