"The Elites are blind, Arbiter, but I will make them see."
— Sesa 'Refumee

Sesa 'Refumee was the leader of the Heretics, referred to in Halo 2 as simply the Heretic Leader[1], who had taken control of the Gas Mine on Threshold and a small base on Basis, the gas giant's moon which Installation 04 rests between. He is the first main antagonist of Halo 2.

Biography

Heretic Uprising

'Refumee with 2 Holodrones
Alongside 'Refumee, 343 Guilty Spark preaches.

"I wondered who the Prophets would send to silence me. An Arbiter? I'm flattered."
— The Heretic Leader to The Arbiter.

The Heretic Leader commanded an Artifact Retrieval Group attached to the Covenant fleet at the first discovered Halo ring, Installation 04. 'Refumee was busy investigating a Forerunner mining facility in the upper atmosphere of the Gas-giant, Threshold, and was fortunate enough not to be on the Ringworld when the Master Chief destroyed it. Sesa 'Refumee first encountered Installation 04's Monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, a few days after the Halo’s destruction. The Monitor "edified" him about the true nature of Halo, the fate of the Forerunners, and the origins of the Flood. This knowledge inspired 'Refumee and the Elites and Grunts under his command to revolt against the Prophets. He also began to preach the truth to other Elites and Grunts in hopes that others would rally to their cause, which infuriated the High Prophet, Truth.

Sesa was branded a traitor and Heretic by Truth, who sent the new Arbiter to execute 'Refumee. At first, 'Refumee tried to protect himself by releasing the Flood in specific areas to kill the Arbiter and his strike team in the Gas Station, as a perilous and lethal storm raged outside. To force 'Refumee out of hiding, Thel cut the cable that prevented the station from falling into the gas giant. As he attempted to make his escape in a Seraph fighter, Thel found him and engaged him in battle. Despite his clever use of Holo-Drones, the Arbiter successfully dispatched 'Refumee and retrieved the Oracle from the station.

With the death of the Heretic Leader and most of his followers at the hands of the Arbiter, 343 Guilty Spark in the hands of Tartarus and the Hierarchs, the Heresy was quelled. However, its ideals were later revived during the Great Schism by the Covenant Separatists.

Combat

Sesa 'Refumee firing his plasma rifles

For all intents and purposes, Sesa 'Refumee, on his own, is just a Sangheili Ranger with differently-colored armor and shields that could withstand up to two Energy Sword lunges, making him accurately comparable to an Ultra Elite. He utilizes two Holo-Drones to assist him in a fight and as a method to stay away from harm's reach. These Holo-Drones, when projected, creates two identical models (albeit a darker armor tint) of himself, which deal real damage upon the player. When a Holo-Drone is "killed", the model will dissipate and the Holo-Drone ball will simply drop to the floor. On higher levels, defeating the first drones will make the real Sesa fly into one of the pipes and several more drones will appear. However, the real Sesa will often hide in one of the pipes on the top of the room. He will not respond to damage and can be easily killed with a Carbine or Needler.

Production Notes

Sesa 'Refumee was voiced by Miguel Ferrer in Halo 2.

Joyride Studios released a Heretic Leader Action Figure in series 8 of their Halo 2 8 inch action figure collection, and also released the hologram version of the Heretic Leader, which is rare to find. WizKids produced a miniature figure of Sesa 'Refumee in their first set of Halo ActionClix products wielding dual Plasma Rifles. 'Refumee is one of the most powerful units in the initial release, being worth two hundred points.
