 Despite the fact that [[Atriox]] valued the [[humans]] in the Banished{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW6B|Halo: Divine Wind|Chapter=6|Page=102}} and that his denouncement of genocide as "barbarism" with "no reward" allowed the Banished to incorporate [[Jiralhanae|feuding]] [[Sangheili|species]] in the first place,{{Ref/Comic|Id=ROA4|[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 4|Rise of Atriox Issue 4]]}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HuntingParty1|Hunting Party}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=ROA2|[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 2|Rise of Atriox Issue 2]]}} Escharum decided to go against Atriox's core principles that tied the Banished together and declared humanity's destruction for reasons unknown.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=RiseOfBanished|hXrMkGXtk0c|Halo|Halo Infinite The Banished Rise|Quote=Escharum, leader of the Banished, declares humanity's destruction to be imminent, starting with its heroes.}}

-While the Master Chief is trying to rescue [[Echo 216's pilot]], Escharum appears to confront the Spartan for one final battle. After a lengthy fight, the Master Chief finally defeats the old warrior and frees his friend. Mortally wounded but refusing to give up, Escharum staggers over to the two men, demanding that he continue their fight, but the Master Chief informs Escharum that it's over. Collapsing into his foe's arms, Escharum states that nothing ends and that his death will inspire a thousand others and he asks the Master Chief to tell them that he died well. The Master Chief holds Escharum as he dies, surprising the pilot with the respect that the Spartan had shown the old [[Jiralhanae]] given that Escharum was a monster. The Master Chief tells the pilot that at the end, Escharum was just a soldier, hoping he'd done the right thing and questioning his choices. Although the pilot thinks that it's over since the Banished's leader is dead, the Master Chief warns him that there will be consequences and that there always are.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI}}
+As the Master Chief destroys several Banished AA guns, Escharum has a hologram transmission with the [[Spartan-II|Spartan]] to challenge him to a battle, describing it as a "true test of legends." He sends [[Tovarus]] and [[Hyperius]] after the Master Chief, informing the Spartan of the two's role in the [[Hand of Atriox]], but they also fall to the Master Chief. Following the fight, Escharum briefly argues with [[the Harbinger]] and directs more Banished forces to protect the Spire controlling the ring's repairs. Once the Harbinger is gone, Escharum, who is revealed to be dying of a worsening terminal illness, orders [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] to bring him the Master Chief alive. Although concerned for Escharum's worsening state, 'Rdomnai complies with his wishes.{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}}

 ==Personality and traits==
 Although Atriox welcomes [[human]]s to join and serve in the Banished due to the utility they offer,{{Ref/Reuse|Id=DW6B}} Escharum maintains a fierce dislike of them for reasons unknown and considered them to be vermin.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW6|HDW|Chapter=6}} As such, many of Escharum's forces such as the Leigon of the Corpse-Moon and the Clan of the Ravaged Tusks similarly never-permitted humans to serve in their ranks - and this fact caused some considerable friction with the Keepers of the One Freedom when they were a part of the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=SOR3}} Despite the [[Sangheili]] having abused Escharum and his kind in the Covenant and genocidally killed Banished Jiralhanae following the [[Great Schism]],{{Ref/Site|Id=GSInterview|URL=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-wars-2-new-character-images-and-details-revea/1100-6442098/?ftag=GSS-05-10aaa0b|Site=Gamespot- Halo Wars 2: New Character Images and Details Revealed}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HuntingParty2|Hunting Party}} Escharum oddly does not appear to hate the Sangheili as he does humans.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3B|HSOR|Chapter=3}} He considered [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] to be his most respected soldier and developed a comradery with him,{{Ref/Site|Id=ign|URL=https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-infinite-campaign-get-to-know-jega-spartan-killer-ign-first?utm_source=twitter|Site=IGN|Page=Halo Infinite Campaign: Get to Know Jega, a ‘Spartan Killer’ – IGN First|D=9|M=11|Y=2021}} which was very rare between their species.{{Ref/Book|Id=Conversations|Book=Conversations from the Universe|Section=[[Conversations from the Universe#Grunt Conversation|Grunt Conversation]]}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=3}} Escharum also hates the [[San'Shyuum]] for their lies and deception.{{Ref/Game|Id=SignatDetected|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Signal Detected.
