==Personality and traits==
The Shipmaster of Rightous Vigilance was a firm believer of the Great Journey until the Great Schism began, but this did not stop him from  revering the Forerunners as gods. He vowed revenge on the San'Shyuum, whom he labelled as "deceivers", when he found out that the Great Journey was a lie, and that lie resulted in the "death of the Covenant". Fighting alongside his fellow Sangheili, he took it upon himself to hunt down as many Jiralhanae he could, for their role in the Covenant's sudden betrayal of his race. As a warrior, he respected humanity's prowess, claiming he saw the best of it during the [[Fall of Reach]]. While it is unknown whether he became a [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sword]], he evidently held high regard for [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], once referring him as the Sangheili's "Champion". By the time of his walking on Kholo's surface, he felt great shame and sorrow for his role in the genocidal campaign he committed during the [[Human-Covenant War]], and wished to atone for his sins, while also believing his people are slowly declining as a people and as a society. Since the San'Shyuum's betrayal and subsequent disappearance, he believed the Sangheili have lost their purpose and messenger between them and their gods. Not wanting his race to lose their way, he vowed to find himself a new purpose in life, even it meant reaching out to his gods, but he did not know what his gods wanted him to do nor did he know if they were still out there.

==Production notes==
The shipmaster's identity is deliberately kept vague in ''[[The Return]]'' - something that [[343 Industries]] has intentionally kept in place. This is due to the literary value of having the shipmaster represent a wider view of the Sangheili and their relationship with war, and a wish to preserve this value.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFEE|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-encyclopedia-extravaganza|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Encyclopedia Extravaganza|D=01|M=06|Y=2022}}
