"We must destroy the Jiralhanae, unquestioningly, and all who ally with them."
— Voro Nar 'Mantakree

Voro 'Mantakree, later promoted to Voro Nar 'Mantakree, was an intelligent and noble Covenant Elite who quickly rose in rank after the Covenant Civil War began.

Background

During the 9th Age of Reclamation, 'Mantakree was serving as a Major Elite and was later assigned to the Reverence-class cruiser Incorruptible. Once the Prophet of Truth abandoned High Charity to an onslaught of the Flood in his Forerunner ship, the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity was thrown into disorder amid the Holy City. As the Battle of Installation 05 raged on, the Civil War of the Covenant began. Brute and Elite controlled ships engaged each other at random crossfire, while also trying to prevent the Flood from escaping the Installation.

Civil War of the Covenant

Incorruptible's commander, Ship Master Tano 'Inanraree, who was a member of the Governors of Contrition, was overcome by religious fever and ordered the ship to be infected by the Flood. The Governors of Contrition believed all Forerunner creations were sacrosanct, even the parasitic Flood infestation of Halo.[1] 'Mantakree was forced to kill his former mentor and friend with a Needler to end his insanity. This action was heresy and normally Voro would have been killed by the Lekgolo bonded pair of Paruto Xida Konna and Waruna Xida Yotno who were responsible for the safety of the Ship Master or failing that, kill the attacker. However, the rest of the crew agreed that Tano's judgment had been clouded by the Prophets. With support from the rest of the crew, 'Mantakree was made Ship Master of the Reverance-class cruiser Incorruptible. Y'gar, the eldest bridge officer said, "Tano was devout to the end. But his reasoning in light of recent events, was not sound. This was regrettable, but necessary... Ship Master."[2] Voro ordered the grunts to remove Tano's body from the bridge but said leave Tano's blood remaining where it was as a reminder of the price he had paid for their survival.

While all of this was going on, the Incorruptible had been targeted by two Brute frigates, the Tenebrous and the Twilight Compunction. Both of the ships launched salvos of plasma and disabled the Incorruptible's shields. Voro took evasive action and hid behind the Covenant Carrier Lawgiver, who's shields were of full capacity. When the ship emerged from behind the Lawgiver, Voro targeted the Tenebrous first, using plasma to disable and cripple the ship's shields and then finished it off with the Energy Projector. He then opened the starboard launch bay and vented plasma onto the cannons,making them appear to charge and move towards the brute ship. The ship Twilight Compunction retreated for the moment, "As they should when presented with superior firepower..even if that power was an illusion".[3] He stayed in system for a short while to try to eliminate all remaining Flood-controlled ships. He was able to create a short truce between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae while they eliminated Flood controlled ships and four ships that had been or were being infected. Then the Brutes started targeting Sangheili ships, even though the Flood had not been completely eliminated. Shortly thereafter they jumped system because it would have been "madness" to "stay here and fight."

Joyous Exultation

Voro took his newly found flagship the Incorruptible to the Salia System, outpost world Joyous Exultation. 'Mantakree and his ship intercepted a wayward transmission from the Jiralhanae frigate indicating that the Bloodied Spirit was under the control of the Demons. When he met with Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree, Voro was one of thirty representative Ship Masters who had been called from the two hundred vessels in orbit to hear Xytan's words.[4] Voro voiced his opinion to the Imperial Admiral and fellow Ship Masters that victory might mean nothing if the Flood upon Halo were to escape. It had to be cleansed from the galaxy if the Elites were to survive.[5]Oracle Master Parala 'Ahrmonro played a transmission intercepted from the COM probe Cortana had sent en route to earth. Voro did not understand all of the words, but he did make the connection that SPARTANs were the ones responsible for the destruction of one of the Holy Rings.

The Imperial Admiral made 'Mantakree Fleet Master of the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity and charged him to go to Onyx, protect and secure the holy artifacts, and destroy the demons, denying them their prize at all costs. At this point, the Imperial Admiral appears to give Voro a middle name, most likely signifying that he is a Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree. [6]

Onyx Defenses

When the fleet arrived at Onyx, they received a welcome from the Sentinels. Voro sent the Far Sight Lost and its commander, Ship Master 'Qunu, to make contact with the Forerunner Sentinels. 'Qunu began speaking a ritual greeting. The Sentinels responded by making a transmission through the Prophets channel which said: "Rescue phase concluded. Threat-analysis phase concluded. Reclaimant request for Shield World access... denied. Initiating outer defense program."[7] The Sentinels then destroyed the Far Sight Lost. After the ship was destroyed he ordered his ships to target all Sentinels coming towards his Fleet. Ship Master Qunu had been a hero. He had demonstrated for them all that the old ways of devout placation had no place in this new Age. The Sangheili would forge their own way, with their own blood, if need be.[8] While the Sentinels were powerful en masse, their shields could not withstand the combined fire of the Covenant Fleet. Fleet Master Voro ordered the Absolution to make a slipspace jump to the northern pole of Onyx. Right when the ship exited slipspace a wave of Sentinels fired upon and destroyed Absolution before the ships' shields could come online. He then ordered no ships to enter slipspace without his viable permission and say so. Voro soon scanned the northern pole to find a clue as to how the Sentinels had jumped fleet-wide. The Sentinels could hone in on the Slipspace destinations but could not generate slipspace themselves. After the fleet vaporized what was left of the Sentinels, the ships moved into the planet's atmosphere. There they met with little resistance from the Sentinels and Voro recognized the holy Forerunner scriptures on the walls and ground. Voro ordered Y'gar to Pulse the Greeting of the Ancients, though he doubted there were any Forerunners present. Instead, he picked up a signal from another Covenant ship, the Bloodied Spirit. 'Mantakree was able to triangulate the signal of the ship and ordered his Hunter pair to muster the reserves from every ship in the fleet because he was going to lead the assault. When he discovered the Core Room Antechamber he ordered all ships to the "OVERARCH" attack pattern and to prepare for an orbital descent.

Battle of Onyx

Soon thereafter, Voro Nar 'Mantakree, along with his Hunter guardian bond pair, Paruto Xida Konna and Waruna Xida Yotno, led the assault and attack on the ground toward the Forerunner center-city, pursuing the Spartan-IIs and Spartan-IIIs with the help of the N'Noro Warrior Crèche, E'Toro Warrior Crèche and R'Lan Warrior Crèche all the way to the Core Room Antechamber. For more protection he made the peculiar order for his troops to carry Jackal Gauntlet Shields. Though it was an uncharacteristic order for an Elite commander it served for the better. Voro needed his troops to be prepared for anything and wanted to give them a better chance of achieving their goal; not losing Onyx as they had lost the first Halo. After a wave of troops was sent in front of him he led the later attack alongside the second wave. When he reached the peak of the Core Room Antechamber he found Spartan-051, Kurt Ambrose, mortally wounded from hand-to-hand combat with a Hunter. He was about to grant the wounded Spartan an honorable death by his Energy Sword, when the two were both killed by the FENRIS Nuclear Warheads that Kurt had triggered remotely to protect the remaining Spartans. Voro Nar 'Mantakree's entire legion was eliminated.
