He had never been defeated in battle, he had never failed at any task, no matter what the challenge, and he was never wrong. His only flaw was that he had been so revered, some respected him above any [[Prophet]] and for that he had been exiled to lead a [[Fleet]] only at the fringes and outskirts of the vast Covenant Empire. | ||

'Jar Wattinree was one of the first Elite leaders to take command of the confused Elites and rally them at [[Joyous Exultation]]. There, they moved in to ambush the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] and destroy them, putting an end to the Civil War before they could destroy the [[Flood]]. The Imperial Admiral had no illusions about the true nature of the [[Halo Rings]] or the Flood, still believing in the original covenant beliefs and also plotted to wipe out the Humans and their Spartans. It's unknown whether or not Xytan kept the 'ee' suffix at the end of his name after rebelling against the Prophets. | ||
Unfortunately, his [[flagship]], ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was destroyed by a [[UNSC]] [[NOVA]] bomb they had taken from [[Reach]]. A curious and unsuspecting [[Grunt]] named [[Kwassass]] activated the NOVA bomb's recording from [[Danforth Whitcomb]] several times. The NOVA bomb's control panel soon shorted, sparking an interest in the nearby [[Huragok]], who repaired the control panel and reconnected the detonator to the NOVA bomb, activating it and destroying ''Sublime Transcendence'', the majority of the nearby Covenant fleet, Joyous Exultation, and its moon [[Malhiem]]. Whether or not he was aboard the ship (or on Joyous Exultation) at that time is unknown. It is assumed that Wattinree was killed, as the Sangheili Separatist Fleet in Halo 3 was led by the [[Arbiter (Title)|Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Rtas 'Vadum]], a Fleet Master. | Unfortunately, his [[flagship]], ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was destroyed by a [[UNSC]] [[NOVA]] bomb they had taken from [[Reach]].
