The '''unidentified Sangheili Shipmaster''' was the commander of the ''[[Fleet of Righteous Vigilance]]'', who fought in the [[Human-Covenant War]] and later became part of the [[Covenant Separatists]] when the [[Great Schism]] broke out.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Return]]''</ref>

In [[2539]], the Shipmaster served in the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance, under the command of the [[Prophet of Conviction]]. After discovering the location of the [[Human]] colony [[Kholo]] by interrogating a Human [[freighter]] pilot, the Shipmaster led his fleet to the planet and deployed forces on the surface. After the ground engagement, the Shipmaster hand-guided his ship's [[energy projector]] to carve the glyph representing "Faith" on the planet surface in a ritual glassing. After successfully carving the glyph, the fleet completed the glassing and the Shipmaster was bonded to the Prophet of Conviction.

The Shipmaster fought at the [[Fall of Reach]], and destroyed three [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s, claiming he saw the best of Humanity's combat prowess at Reach.

When the [[Great Schism]] broke out, he confronted Conviction, who attempted to kill the Sangheili. The Shipmaster, however, overpowered the Prophet and brought him forward in front of the crew, who were exposed to images of the Sangheili [[Councilor]]s assassinated by the [[San 'Shyuum]]'s [[Jiralhanae]] "puppets". He then executed Conviction, and left with the crew to join the Separatists.

From that day until at least [[2559]], he had been fighting the Brutes in the ongoing Great Schism. In that year, the Shipmaster returned to the human colony, Kholo, so that he could atone for his sins. The Shipmaster observed Humans in a small scuttle with a couple of [[Kig-yar]], and came across a Human who had been shot by a carbine. Thinking that the Human would die from his wound, he moved on, but he stumbled upon pictures of Humans observing [[Forerunner]] artifacts, one of which that resembled the [[032 Mendicant Bias|Oracle]] from [[High Charity]] . He went back to the Human and saw that the carbine round had passed through him and thought that the Human could be saved, as he had seen humans survive worse. This time he would not get answers from the treacherous Prophets, but from a Human, "[[Reclaimer]]" to the Forerunners.
