Atriox serves as the primary antagonist of ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', with [[Dan Ayoub]] of [[343 Industries]] desiring to tell a deep story with the character in the game's cinematics.{{Ref/Reuse|bts trailer}} First being introduced in the [[Halo Wars 2: Announce Teaser|announcement teaser]] for ''Halo Wars 2'' as an unidentified [[Jiralhanae]] leader,<ref name="teaser">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Announce Teaser]]'''</ref> Atriox's name and nature were expanded upon at the [[2016]] [[Electronic Entertainment Expo]], where it was also revealed that Atriox would serve as one of the game's six playable leader characters at launch. | |||

In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' Atriox is voiced by actor [[John DiMaggio]],<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2 credits]]'''</ref> who previously voiced the generic [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute chieftains]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' while his motion capture is done by [[Damion Poitier]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DamionPoitier/status/832646669812457472 Twitter - Damion Poitier]</ref> | |||
A life-size Atriox animatronic puppet was created for the comedic ''[[Halo Wars 2#War of Wits|War of Wits]]'' live-action trailers ''[[War of Wits: The Sale|The Sale]]'' and ''[[War of Wits: The Armrest|The Armrest]]''. As part of the campaign, Atriox was given a fake bio on the website of the real-life car dealership Camacho Auto Sales. According to his profile, ''Though new to sales, Atriox has over a decade of management experience as leader of The Banished. Like his favorite weapon, an energy mace known as "Chainbreaker," Atriox is fond to claim his deals are "off the chain."''<ref name="camacho">[http://www.camachoauto.com/bios.php?te_class=employee_bio&te_mode=view&te_key=14 '''Camacho Auto Sales''' - ''General Atriox Bio'']</ref> The bio, as well as the live-action shorts, identify the character as "General Atriox", although this has been confirmed not to be his canonical title.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/838068709377748992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw '''Twitter''' - ''GrimBrotherOne'']</ref> | |||
After Atriox and the Banished's debut in ''Halo Wars 2'' was well received by fans in in [[2017]], [[343 Industries]] later decided to make them the main antagonists for ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' midway through development.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.inverse.com/gaming/halo-infinite-villain-escharum-atriox-banished|Site=Inverse|Page=The Banished: Everything you Need to Know About Halo Infinite's Villains|Quote=Why did they add the Banished?

How to bring both that faction and their art style and their visual distinctiveness to an FPS game.}} In ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' Atriox is voiced by actor [[Wikipedia:Ike Amadi|Ike Amadi]],<ref>'''[[Halo Infinite credits]]'''</ref> who had previously also replaced [[Wikipedia:Mike Colter|Mike Colter]] in the role of ''[[Jameson Locke]]'' in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', while his motion capture is done by [[Bruce Thomas]].{{Ref/Site|Id=DanChosich|URL=http://danchosich.com/haloinfinite|Site=DanChosich.com|Page=Halo Infinite|M=12|Y=2021}} | |||
Atriox was originally going to appear in ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', but 343 Industries requested for [[Troy Denning]] to fill Atriox's role in the novel by [[Orsun]] in the second or third review.<ref>[https://www.gamecrate.com/interview-halo-silent-storm-first-novel-about-master-chief-15-years/20744 '''GameCrate''': ''Interview - "Halo: Silent Storm" is the first novel about Master Chief in 15 years'']</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Following the pseudo-Latin theme of most Jiralhanae names, ''Atriox'' likely comes from the Latin ''atrox'' ("furious", "savage"), the root of the English ''atrocious'' and ''atrocity''. Notably, ''Atriox'' features neither the ''-us'' nor the ''-um'' suffixes present in the names of most mature Jiralhanae. | |||
