Vorenus was one of the first official representatives of the Covenant to meet with the humans. Vorenus accompanied [[Maccabeus]] and [[Licinus]] to Harvest's surface in an attempt to create a peace treaty with the humans. The negotiations failed when the [[Unggoy]] [[Yull]], lead by [[Tartarus]], grew nervous, broke rank and made an early attack on a group of militia recruits and killed [[Osmo]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 213''</ref> In the confusion, Vorenus proceeded to kill Attorney General [[Rol Pedersen]] and then fell back to a | Vorenus was one of the first official representatives of the Covenant to meet with the humans.

Vorenus later accompanied Tartarus to scout of Harvest's orbiting platform [[Tiara]]. The two Jiralhanae remained at the station briefly, long enough to be sure that it was devoid of human life. They left [[Dadab]] in charge of sixty Unggoy on the station to protect it from human soldiers.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 303''</ref> | Vorenus later accompanied Tartarus to scout of Harvest's orbiting platform [[Tiara]].

During the battle, Vorenus participated in the siege on [[Gladsheim]]. During the engagement, he manned the guns on a Spirit, while [[Calid]] piloted it, to destroy buildings and to kill civilians in the town. He released a group of [[Yanme'e]] from the Spirit to rain havoc on the town.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 294''</ref> When Maccabeus was injured when he was hit by Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]]'s [[M12 LRV Warthog]], Vorenus had fitted the Chieftain with a [[magnetic splint]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 310''</ref> When Vorenus, Calid, the remaining Yanme'e, and the injured Maccabeus returned to the cruiser, they discovered that the Yanme'e that did not participate in the engagement were attempting to kill [[Lighter Than Some]] for "stealing" their engineering responsibilities.

Vorenus and Tartarus attempted to defend the Huragok from the enraged Yanme'e and were eventually able to subdue them.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 313''</ref> Later, a mortally wounded [[Ponder]] used a false Oracle to lure ''Rapid Conversion'' into the sights of the colony's [[mass driver]].

A Spirit dropped off four newly-created [[Type-25 Chopper]]s—two of which were driven by Tartarus and Vorenus—inside the [[Utgard Mall]] at Ponder's location. The Jiralhanae approached Ponder and the dying captain handed them a holo-pad.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 346''</ref> With the aliens distracted, AI [[Loki]] fired the mass driver at ''Rapid Conversion''. Angered, Tartarus promptly killed Ponder. The ship was disabled after two rounds and crashed in Utgard. Tartarus ordered Vorenus to lead the other two Jiralhanae to Harvest's mass driver to disable it, while Tartarus returned to the Spirit dropship to return to the Tiara.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 335-336''</ref> | ||

The Jiralhanae rammed [[Vallen]] with his Chopper and chased the humans inside the complex towards Loki's data center. He killed [[Habel]] and [[Jepsen]] with a Spiker, but Byrne had managed to trap him on one side of a door. Using [[spike grenade]]s and sheer strength, Vorenus forcefully opened the door and grabbed Byrne. Vorenus broke the sergeant's nose and cheekbone, while the militia forces surrounded the two. [[Stisen]] ordered the militia to ceasefire to avoid shooting Byrne, while Vorenus used him as a hostage. Several JOTUNs found their way to the battle taking place, startling Vorenus, who then released his grip on Byrne. The [[Colonial Militia]] took this chance to take him down, riddling him with bullets.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 361''</ref> | ||
