{{Quote|It was [[Great Schism|a terrible war]]. The [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] provided the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] with powerful new weapons, hoping that they would in turn defend their Prophets against our wrath. But when the Prophets went into hiding, the lack of leadership allowed the Brutes to return to their savage nature and they soon began to fight against each other. This lack of solidarity made them much easier prey. Some of my fellow commanders continue that fight even now, but not enough. After generations spent obeying the [[The Covenant|Covenant]] and the [[Covenant religion|words]] of the Prophets, we no longer know how to find what [[Forerunner|our gods]] want us to do. We don't know what our gods want..at all. We have no scientist, no law and no reason to be. We risk extinction for the lack of a purpose and that is why I came to [[Kholo|this planet]] where I last felt the virtue of gods, for guidance. |-The Shipmaster on the continuing [[Great Schism]], the mysterious disappearance of the San'Shyuum and his return to Kholo during the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era]]}}

From that day until at least [[2559]], he had been fighting the Jiralhanae in the ongoing Great Schism. That year, the Shipmaster returned to Kholo so that he could atone for the sins he felt that he had committed. On Kholo, he discovered a human excavation operation among the ruins of a city. There, he observed humans in a firefight with a small group of [[Kig-Yar]] raiders, eventually fighting the Kig-Yar himself. Shortly thereafter he encountered two humans, one dead from multiple plasma shots in the legs and torso, and another who had been wounded. Thinking that the human would die from his wound, the Shipmaster moved on, but then stumbled upon pictures of humans observing [[Forerunner]] artifacts, including an [[Monitor|"Oracle"]]. He then returned to the wounded human; realizing that the [[Type-51 Carbine|carbine]] round had passed through the latter's body, the Shipmaster decided to try to save the human, calling in a medic from his ship, as well as a security squad, the ship's chief engineer, and a patrol of the surrounding area for Kig-Yar or human ships. It was his intention that once the human recovered, he would interrogate him in order to discover the reason for the excavations on the planet.<ref name="Return"/>
