With the Covenant's demise as the end of the war, the Yonhet began to emerge in hopes that the coast was clear enough to make a profit from the fleeting peacetime and political uncertainty. Taking advantage of the chaos and confusion of the Treaty period, they have since began to have a myriad of varied interactions with the [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]] of the former-empire. Some of the fledgling warlords have turned to the Yonhet to take advantage of their natural skills, giving some Yonhet individuals trusted roles. Others were not as fortunate as some avaricious warlords instead oppressed and enslaved them.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}} Some Yonhet were sold into [[slavery]] by [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Comic|HEsc|Issue=11}} This enterprising nature has resulted in Yonhet easily melding into society in the [[Via Casilina Trade Route]], home to the weapons auctioneer [[Elld]] and the mercenary power broker [[M'raad]].

While Yonhet appeared to be humanoid species, they were among the more unapproachable and misunderstood. Male Yonhet are hairless with milky-pale skin, deep-set eyes with sagging skin beneath, and drooping mouths lined with short, sharp teeth. Their foreheads are wrinkled in deep folds, although their cheek and brow bones are sharp and prominent. Their heads sport strange pocks and markings. The Yonhet have two sets of slit-like nostrils cut into a wide nose, as well as a series of gills along their jawline.{{Ref/Reuse|r2}} Older Yonhet can be distinguished by the presence of longer gills and teeth than their younger brethren, with individual members of the species displaying different patterns on their forehead ridges.{{Ref/Novel|HRen|Chapter=4}}

The native language of the Yonhet is known as [[Yonhetian]], and many members of the species also speak the Covenant's trade pidgin.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}} As a distinguishing trait, Yonhet seemingly refer to themselves in the third person in everyday speech.{{Ref/Reuse|nf1}}

The Yonhet visual similarity to humans makes them one of the most often misunderstood and unapproachable species of the ex-Covenant. They generally project an air of subservience, which is used to mask their cunning nature - something they use to great effect when trading.{{Ref/Reuse|r2}}
