Heretic, Hero is the sixth track in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 1.
Overview[edit]
The music features heavy, industrial tones, such as what sounds like pipes, mixed with light guitar riffs and Halo's trademark messianic singing. The main melody of the piece is a remix of A Walk in the Woods, which was featured in the Halo: Combat Evolved soundtrack. The percussive beat of the piece is a remix of The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe.
A shorter version of the track was incorporated into the ending of Penance from the Delta Halo Suite in Halo 2: Original Soundtrack, Volume 2.
The piece was re-orchestrated into Zealous Champion in the Halo 2: Anniversary Original Soundtrack.
Appearances[edit]
The soundtrack can be heard:
- In the form of Penance during the opening cutscene of Delta Halo, then in full when John-117 commandeers a M808B Scorpion.
- In the level Quarantine Zone, when Thel 'Vadamee takes the Gondola to the Library.
- At the beginning of The Great Journey, when Rtas 'Vadumee leads Thel 'Vadamee to the Bastion of the Brutes.
Trivia[edit]
- Despite being a Halo 2 soundtrack, it is played on the main menu of the Essentials disk of the Halo 3 Limited Edition.
- The title may refer to John-117, since to the humans he was a hero of the humans, but a heretic and Demon in the eyes of the Covenant. It may also refer to Thel 'Vadam, who is a hero to his people, despite being branded as a heretic.
