===Mentor to Atriox===

Around [[2558#April|April 2558]], [[Atriox]] and [[Decimus]] departed for the [[Installation 00|Ark]] aboard the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', leaving Escharum in charge of all the Banished forces that remained in the [[Milky Way|galaxy]]. Shortly after Atriox left, Escharum assigned [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] to [[Castor]] as an advisor so that the [[dokab]] could thrive amongst the other Jiralhanae [[Legionmaster]]s; Castor's faction, the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], had joined the Banished just before the [[warmaster]] left for his [[Attack on Installation 00|mission]] to the Ark. The [[Sangheili]] consultant would also serve two other purposes: to act as a representative for Escharum and to punish Castor if he ever attempted to betray him.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}}

The name Escharum may derive from the [[Latin]] word ''Eschara'' meaning "scar, scab". This would be fitting as early concept art shows Escharum with a more prominent facial disfigurement and his present model showing scars across his blinded eye and on the right side of his lip.
