'''Parg Vol''' was a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Warrior|warrior]], terrorist, arms dealer, assassin,<ref name="VIS"/> and known associate of [[Shipmaster]] [[Jul 'Mdama]].

Parg Vol was born [[2481|July 24, 2481]] on [[Malurok]], also known as Decided Heart. In the [[Covenant]] he was a [[Field Master]], despite his hatred of the [[Jiralhanae]] and [[San 'Shyuum]], he opposed [[Thel Vadam]]'s human alliance, believing the Sangheili should have wiped out humanity completely. After the [[Human-Covenant War]], he would work in arms deals and hit contracts before consolidating a force under [[Jul 'Mdama]], joining solely due to his hatred of humanity.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 29''</ref>

Between March [[2553]] and July [[2557]], he was the commanding officer on [[Draetheus V]] during the Covenant's [[Battle of Draetheus V|attack on the planet]]. As his personal [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] was being stolen by [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]], he ordered a frontal assault including [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] bombardment.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 22: The Scorching of the Thicket]]''</ref>

In [[2558|February 2558]], he led [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] ground forces during the early stages of the [[Second Battle of Requiem]].<ref name="VIP">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/The VIP|S1E3 - ''The VIP'']]</ref> Soon after securing a foothold on [[Requiem]], the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] learned of Vol's then-current location. He had been overseeing a supply dump of captured UNSC matériel in the [[Quarry]]. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[Fireteam Crimson]] were deployed to assassinate Vol, though the Elite escaped aboard a [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] as his forces engaged the Spartans.<ref name="VIP"/>

As Fireteam Crimson were extracted from the supply dump, Parg Vol launched an attack on [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI's]] [[Galileo Base]].<ref name="VIP"/> He was sighted by [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] sentries during the attack, though he again escaped shortly after Crimson's arrival.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/Galileo|S1E3 - ''Galileo'']]</ref> UNSC forces eventually tracked him a [[Forerunner]] structure called [[the Gate]], which had recently been retaken from the UNSC. [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] redeployed Fireteam Crimson to kill the terrorist. After fighting through local Covenant forces of roughly company strength, the Spartans killed Parg Vol and eliminated all remaining hostiles.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine/Hunting Trip|S1E3 - ''Hunting Trip'']]</ref>

==Trivia==

*Parg Vol is the first Sangheili to be identified by name in-game.

*Vol's name does not include the apostrophe that typically precedes Sangheili clan names. From a production standpoint this is likely an oversight; in-universe, it may have been excised due to difficulty in pronouncing the glottal click the apostrophe signifies.
