Editing Tup 'Quk

In [[2552#November|November 2552]], Tup 'Quk accompanied [[Kaidon]] [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]], [[C'tenz]], [[Tirk 'Surb]], and six escorting [[Refuge Security|protectors]] to [[Section Five]]'s [[Hall of the Godminds]] to quell the rebellion that was being initiated by [[Oska 'Meln|'Kinsa]], a [[Blood Sickness|Blood Sick]] Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|bc225}} Tup 'Quk was brought along to determine how [[List of known Covenant heretics|heretic]]al the rebels were. When the group encountered 'Kinsa and his followers, 'Quk warned them to return to their homes and pray for forgiveness. A stand-off ensured as 'Kinsa refused to be apprehended by the patrollers. Suddenly, the group was ambushed by fifteen of 'Kinsa's followers armed with [[mec-missiler]]s. As a firefight broke out, Tup 'Quk attempted to shout, but he was shot in the head with a mec-missile and died instantly.<ref name="bc228">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 228-231''</ref>

Tup 'Quk was a very pious individual and was devoted to the Ussan religion. He considered [[Oska 'Meln|'Kinsa]] and his [[Blood Sickness|Blood Sick]] followers to be "defilers"; 'Quk was angered that they had tarnished the [[Hall of the Godminds]].{{Ref/Reuse|bc228}} At the time of his death, Tup 'Quk was very old and had odd hairs sprouting from his skin. He wore ceremonial jewellery attached to his pierced mandibles, and a robe that was sewn from the skin of a [[glebos]], shiny cloth, and holy objects.{{Ref/Reuse|bc225}}
