Although broadly similar in principle, hard light glaives should not be confused with the [[hard light stave]]s employed by [[Forerunner]] [[armiger]]s. | |||

The Prelate led the [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant|Covenant forces]] instructed to remain aboard the ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' when it arrived at [[Installation 00]] in late [[2552]]. When [[Second Ark Conflict|the conflict]] between the [[Banished]] and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} erupted on the installation in [[2559]], the Covenant loyalists soon made themselves known. As this conflict continued to rage, Bhasvod would carry his hard light glaive into battle.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW5}} | ||
When Bhasvod led a force to investigate [[Pegoras|a]] [[ | When Bhasvod led a force to investigate [[Pegoras|a]] [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich]] that crashed onto the installation on [[2559#October|October 12, 2559]], he brought his glaive with him. Upon landing at the crash site, he encountered [[Dokab]] [[Castor]] and his [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. Bhasvod used the glaive to subdue and decapitate [[Saturnus|a jumpy Keeper]] [[Jiralhanae]], and then threatened the dokab with it before the {{Class|archeon|ancilla}} [[Intrepid Eye]] took control of the weapon. She used its hard light emitters to project two images of an [[Monitor|Oracle]], appealing to the Covenant and Keeper's [[Covenant religion|shared religion]] to get them to join forces and activate the [[Halo Array]].{{Ref/Reuse|HDW5}} | ||
Intrepid Eye would remain in the glaive, appearing to Bhasvod and Castor on a number of occasions until the group reached [[Epsilon Clarion]]. After tricking [[Epsilon submonitor|the facility's submonitor]] to allow her to transfer her code into its systems, Intrepid Eye left the glaive. Bhasvod used the weapon to injure [[Olivia-G291|a]] [[Spartan-III]] who was attempting to stop the activation and rescue her [[Veta Lopis|captured teammate]]. Meanwhile, Castor realized that his relgion was a lie. His [[Sangheili]] companion, [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]], retrieved the hard light glaive, using its haft to propel Bhasvod into the pit beneath the control room. Shortly after this, those present escaped Epsilon Clarion as a barrage of [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] shots from the ''Spirit of Fire'' destroyed the facility.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HDW16|HDW|Chapter=16}} After Castor and 'Gadogai fled the area, they tossed the glaive into a pool of molten stone, ensuring that Intrepid Eye was dead.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HDW17|HDW|Chapter=17}} | Intrepid Eye would remain in the glaive, appearing to Bhasvod and Castor on a number of occasions until the group reached [[Epsilon Clarion]].
