==Biography==
===Early life===
Writh Kul was born in the [[Tower of Vet'nos]] on the [[asteroid]] of [[A'zhd]]. This [[city]] was one of the few on the asteroid to have remained unaffected by the constant threat of [[piracy]]. At some point, Writh would enlist in the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|navy]], where she could put her impressive intellect and strategic wisdom to good use.{{Ref/Reuse|Target12}}

===Covenant service===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Writh Kul would become the [[shipmistress]] of the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Dagger of Mercy]]''. Shortly after the [[Great Schism]] and [[Tartarus]]'s death in [[2552#November|November 2552]], Writh's exceptional skill in space warfare helped her rise to prominence within late Chieftain's inner circle, where she was bestowed the role of naval combat architect. Functioning within this capacity, Writh's tactics would be responsible for the destruction of over 185 [[UNSC]] [[capital ship]]s, making her one of the Covenant's most lethal assets in space.{{Ref/Reuse|Target12}}

===Post-war activities===
Following the collapse of the Covenant, Writh took her frigate and her crew, and continued to ransack and loot [[Forerunner]] relics, trading them in the rapidly expanding post-war [[black market]]. While this brought her great wealth, Writh desired to return to warfare. She sought out [[Atriox]] to join his [[Banished]], and he welcomed the seasoned shipmistress.{{Ref/Reuse|Target12}}

Prior to joining the Banished, circa [[2559]], Writh Kul encountered [[Vrak'is]], a reclusive Kig-Yar and former pirate queen. The two engaged in a betting game of [[liar's dice]], with Vrak'is wagering her personal [[keepsake|heirloom]] weapon, a [[Pinpoint Needler]]. Although Writh Kul lost the game, Vrak'is, recognizing Writh's potential within the Banished and acknowledging her own diminishing need for the weapon, decided to gift Writh the prized needler anyway.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF156|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fleetcom-fiction|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Fleetcom Fiction|D=14|M=8|Y=2024|LocalArchive=Armory Infinitum#Pinpoint Needler}}

Writh would go on to serve as part of Delta Pack within the Third Combat Element of the [[Thieves of the Claw]] during the [[Installation 07]] [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|Target12}} As [[Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] led a resistance on the Halo in [[2560]], Writh Kul's location would be discovered by [[the Weapon]] and shared with the Spartan. At some point during or after [[2560#May|May 28]], John-117 tracked down and killed Writh Kul.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Equipment==
During the conflict on Installation 07, Writh Kul wielded a modified [[Posu'gelka-pattern needler|Needler]] called the [[Pinpoint Needler]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}
