==Biography==
==Biography==
===Early life and Covenant service===
===Hunting the Master Chief===
Tovarus had descended from a long lineage of [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftains]] hailing from the upper echelons of the clan of [[Warial's Wrath]]. During his service in the [[Covenant]], he grew weary of the Jiralhanae's place within the empire even after the Jiralhanae became the right hand of the Covenant during the [[Great Schism]]. Tovarus saw this changing of the guard as a desperate struggle made by the Prophets, whom he saw as unfit leaders and unworthy of leading the alien alliance, no less the Jiralhanae species' destiny. This was in direct opposition to the traits he saw in leaders such as [[Atriox]] and [[Escharum]], which made the Banished a suitable place for Tovarus' skills to be utilized.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
{{Main|Installation 07 conflict}}
 
In [[2560]], Tovarus participated in the [[Installation 07]] [[Installation 07 conflict|conflict]], during which he and Hyperius killed many Spartans, including [[Theodore Sorel]]. Later, they were sent by [[Escharum]] to hunt down the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]]. He and Hyperius engaged the Spartan after he had destroyed three [[Gorespike cannon]]s, with Tovarus raining down fire on him with his [[Scrap Cannon]] and Hyperius mounted on his custom [[Bolroci Workshop Chopper|Chopper]]. They were unsuccessful in killing John-117, and both brothers died at the Spartan's hands.{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}}
===Search for the Guardian killer===
{{Quote|no=two|Tovarus|Eto 'Saljhoo|q1=That only proves the ''trikala'' once existed. How can we be certain it is still so?|q2=Because what the [[Forerunner]]s feared does not die. The [[Flood]] is proof enough of that.|Tovarus and [[Eto 'Saljhoo]] discussing the existence of a Guardian-killing device.{{Ref/Reuse|out6}}}}
In November [[2559]], Tovarus served as the second-in-command aboard the [[drekar]] ''[[Hammer of Fate]]'' in orbit of [[Netherop]] during Atriox's search for [[Divine Hand|a weapon]] that allegedly destroyed a [[Guardian Custode]].{{Ref/Reuse|out6}} He then carried a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] and accompanied as the [[Warmaster]]'s bodyguard, per the old [[Sangheili]] formation for a parley, when Atriox approached the joint [[UNSC]]-[[Swords of Sanghelios]] on the planet's surface. Tovarus lingered with Atriox to glower at [[Thel 'Vadam]] after the Guardian killer was seemingly surrendered to the Banished, then left the planet with the remaining Banished forces.{{Ref/Novel|Id=out24|Out|Chapter=24}}
 
===Battle for Zeta Halo===
{{Main|Battle for Zeta Halo}}
Some time after December 13, 2559, during the [[Installation 07]] [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]], Escharum created the [[Hand of Atriox]] to honor the memory of Atriox after his alleged death;{{Ref/Quest|Hi|Graveyards|Pelican Down|Quote=I honor his memory each day. When our enemy rises, we meet their challenge. It is why I created the Hand of Atriox. I found the best. The cruelest. The most effecient killers in the universe... and taught them how to be better.|Quotee=Escharum}} when Tovarus joined the Hand of Atriox, he saw it as an opportunity to ascend beyond the ranks and tasks he once previously held, as hunting Spartans was a task he viewed as one only the greatest champions could effectively execute.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Tovarus participated in the conflict, during which he and Hyperius killed many Spartans, including [[Theodore Sorel]]. Later, in May [[2560]], they were sent by [[Escharum]] to hunt down the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]]. He and Hyperius engaged the Spartan after he had destroyed three [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon]]s, with Tovarus raining down fire on him with his [[Grenflekt Workshop Scrap Cannon]] and Hyperius mounted on his custom [[Bolroci Workshop Chopper|Chopper]]. They were unsuccessful in killing John-117, and both brothers died at the Spartan's hands.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Hi|Hi|Graveyards|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}}
