Biography
The Covenant and the Banished
Decimus once served in the Covenant's military. He fought in the genocidal war against humanity. He was present on a human world under attack when Atriox, the survivor of numerous suicide missions and a disbeliever in the Covenant's Great Journey and the war, was meant to be executed.[3] He was inspired by Atriox's refusal to allow himself to be killed and his defiance of the giant empire. At that moment Decimus sprung into action. He and other Jiralhanae killed all of the Sangheili present in the immediate area.[3] Decimus personally was responsible for numerous deaths, which he caused without the aid of any weapons.[3] Forthwith, he fell to both knees before Atriox and pledged to follow him. From that day onward, he was Atriox's right hand. He served in the Banished as a general[1] and had command of multiple types of units, including Jiralhanae Warlords and Unggoy thrall-taskmasters. He accompanied Atriox during raids on Covenant supply lines and stores to build up a formidable amount of ordinance stolen from the hegemony.[3]
The Ark and death
- "The Ark is ours, humans, and no one will stand before the might of the Banished!"

Personality and traits
- "He is Atriox's right—hand and pledges loyalty to the Banished, but as I watched him walk among the ancient's halls I recognized the awe and reverence in his eyes that I once saw among my own clan. I saw that fatal longing, that tragic need to be once more struck dumb and blind by the promise of a wondrous destiny. If we are to succeed, Decimus must purge these old conflicts from his thoughts. A warrior's heart must be certain if he is to survive, as doubt is a surer killer than the sharpest blade."
- — Orda Val 'Saham on Decimus' reaction to the wonders of the Ark.
Decimus is ruthless and extremely bloodthirsty, boasting almost unparalleled, raw physical strength. Fighting for the glory to kill, Decimus is considered to be the embodiment of every horror story that has been passed around through the UNSC Marine Corps about battling Jiralhanae. When he served the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War, he took particular delight in hand-to-hand combat with the outmatched soldiers of the United Nations Space Command. Decimus respects strength above all else and holds the traditional Jiralhanae belief that "might makes right"; Atriox gained Decimus' absolute loyalty after he successfully rebelled against the Covenant.[1] Decimus still harbors some resentment against the Sangheili that serve the Banished due to how they treated the Jiralhanae in the Covenant. As such, Decimus now takes a sadistic joy in ordering the Sangheili of the Banished on dangerous, and often suicidal, missions.[1] Like Atriox, Decimus despises the Covenant and its remnants.[4]
Equipment
Decimus wears an exoskeleton into battle. This exoskeleton increases his strength and grants increased protection from weaponry.[5]
In-game information
