'''Tremonius''' was a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] in the service of the [[Banished]]. During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], he held the position of [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord]], serving as one of [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]]'s lieutenants, as well as commanding the Banished forces at [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|Outpost Tremonius]].{{Ref/Reuse|Overview}}

==Biography==
{{Quote|[[Escharum]] has decreed it be named in your honor, Tremonius. So that it may inspire other leaders to do what you have done.|[[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] [[Arthoc]]{{Ref/Reuse|iyh}}}}

During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], on [[2560#January|January 31, 2560]],{{Ref/Game|Id=rt|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #07 - Red Tide}} Chieftain Tremonius made a name for himself by leading a successful [[Assault on the Mortal Reverie|assault]] that wiped out the primary [[UNSC]] survivor encampment at the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}. To commemorate his accomplishment, the [[War Chief]] of the [[Banished]], [[Escharum]], decreed that the first of many planned Banished strongholds on [[Installation 07]] would be built at the site of Tremonius's victory, and would be named [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|Outpost Tremonius]] in his honor to inspire the other Banished leaders.{{Ref/Game|Id=iyh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 3|Banished Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #15 - In Your Honor}}

On around May 28, Tremonius was in the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]] when the Banished's leadership received word that [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], who up to that point had been presumed dead, had destroyed the ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]''. Infuriated and alarmed by the Master Chief's return, Tremonius began to sharply criticize Escharum's plans, going so far as to disrespect [[Atriox]]. This led [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] to forcibly restrain and threaten the Jiralhanae Warlord. Escharum assured the bitter Tremonius that the Spartan's reappearance would provide the Banished with a much-needed challenge, and ordered his underlings not to interfere with the Spartan's activities for the time being.{{Ref/Reuse|foundation}}

Not long after this meeting, the Master Chief activated a Banished lift within the depths of Zeta Halo while searching for a way to the surface, but Tremonius was waiting and descended in the lift alongside two [[Kig-Yar Raider]]s. Tremonius announced that Escharum's orders were that the Master Chief should be brought before him; however, Escharum did not specify in how many pieces. Using a jetpack, Tremonius engaged the Spartan and [[the Weapon]], but he and the raiders were outmatched and killed by the Master Chief.{{Ref/Reuse|foundation}}

After ascending the lift, which emerged within Outpost Tremonius, the Master Chief encountered a hologram of Escharum, who taunted him and dismissed the late Tremonius as one of the Banished's least remarkable warriors. As the Master Chief engaged the Banished forces holding the outpost, a Jiralhanae announced Tremonius' death over the loudspeaker and stated that whoever killed the Spartan would take Tremonius' place. However, the Master Chief cleared out the Banished and recovered the area for the UNSC's use for the first time since the ''Mortal Reverie'' had fallen to Tremonius and his forces.{{Ref/Reuse|outpost}}

==Equipment==
During his confrontation with [[John-117]], Tremonius wore [[energy shields|shielded]] [[Jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] and a [[Jump pack]]. He wielded an [[MLRS-2 Hydra]] and a [[CQS48 Bulldog]] and also carried [[M9 fragmentation grenade]]s.{{Ref/Generic|Id=Overview|[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Overview]]}}

==Gameplay==
In ''Halo Infinite'', Tremonius appears at the end of the main campaign mission ''[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]'' where he serves as the game's first boss. He frequently uses his jump pack to move around the room. He uses his Hydra to attack from long range, but often switches to his Bulldog if engaged at close range, and occasionally throws M9 frag grenades. In addition, Tremonius has a special melee attack, in which he uses his jump pack to leap at the player, before slamming his fist into the ground, creating an explosion. He is also accompanied by two [[Kig-Yar Raider]]s (both armed with [[Mangler]]s) - the first Raiders the player encounters in the game.

Tremonius has a modest amount of health and shields. Two successive overcharged [[Rohakadu-pattern plasma pistol|plasma pistol]] shots are usually sufficient to disable his shields. The [[Erudo'ma'keth-pattern pulse carbine|pulse carbine]] will also quickly deplete his shields, as will a [[plasma grenade]]. Inflicting further damage on him will prevent his shields from regenerating.

Defeating Tremonius earns the player the ''[[Ascension (achievement)|Ascension]]'' achievement.

==Production notes==
Tremonius is voiced by [[Wikipedia:Brian Sommer|Brian Sommer]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.
