Zeretus was one of the first to join the [[Banished]] after [[Atriox]] rebelled against the [[Covenant]]. After joining the mercenary organization, Zeretus would be a critical component of Banished exploration efforts. He personally led numerous operations tasked with scouring [[Forerunner]] relic sites in search of highly important assets, destroying anything that stood in his way. During one notable operation on the [[Natural satellite|ocean-moon]] [[Lagolim]], Zeretus ordered the sinking of a large [[UEG]] research colony as they searched for an ancient Forerunner facility beneath the sea. This action killed all 1,244 scientists and analysts stationed there.{{Ref/Reuse|TargetZeretus}} Zeretus served Atriox faithfully for at least a decade, and was even among those chosen to accompany him to the [[Installation 00|Ark]] in late [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Zeretus was one of the first to join the [[Banished]] after [[Atriox]] rebelled against the [[Covenant]].

In the midst of the [[Second Ark Conflict]], Atriox charged [[Chieftain]] [[Minas]] with the [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|recovery]] of a [[slipspace]] [[Menachite Forerunner crystal|flake]] from the interior of the Forerunner [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]], which had been [[Battle of Installation 00|abandoned]] by the [[High Prophet of Truth]] years earlier. The remaining shards of this crystal would be used to open a [[slipspace portal]] to the [[human]] [[human colonies|colony]] of [[Reach]]. Zeretus led one of the three small strike teams that were sent on this mission, with the other two being led by [[Blademaster]] [[Okro 'Vagaduun]] and Minas himself.

Zeretus led one of the three small strike teams that were sent on this mission, with the other two being led by [[Blademaster]] [[Okro 'Vagaduun]] and Minas himself. Each team rode in a separate [[Banished Phantom|Phantom]] [[dropship]] to where the [[keyship]] rested in a presently uncontested region of the Ark they had dubbed [[Mahsko]]. After they had breached the vessel, a Jiralhanae warrior named Choros guided them to their destination. Early in the mission, Zeretus declared that the ship did in fact appear abandoned. However, the teams would soon be ambushed by surviving [[Covenant loyalists]] that stayed behind to defend the keyship, even after nearly [[seven]] years had passed since their empire had fell.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | ||
Zeretus expressed his utter disbelief at this discovery, but still led his team to victory against their assailants. As Minas's team and then 'Vagaduun's ascended the final [[elevator|lift]] leading to their prize, he received word from the chieftain that he and his team should not follow them up and that they should instead cover their exit. The Covenant defenders had attacked them one last time, hoping to repel them from the holy vessel. When Minas and 'Vagaduun returned alone with the crystal shards, Zeretus and his remaining men quickly escorted them out of the ship and back to their Phantoms.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Zeretus expressed his utter disbelief at this discovery, but still led his team to victory against their assailants.
