The faction was originally a Covenant artifact retrieval team attached to the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]]. They were investigating a [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] above the planet [[Threshold]] when the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} crashed on [[Installation 04|Halo]]. When the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[John-117]] destroyed Halo, the team was spared from death, unlike their compatriots on the ring.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood|Halo: The Flood (2010)]]''', ''Adjunct''</ref> | The faction was originally a Covenant artifact retrieval team attached to the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]].

After a brief confrontation with several [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]], their [[Sangheili]] leader recognized the monitor as an "Oracle" and took him to the group's leader as per the monitor's request. Spark cheerfully informed 'Refumee of the ''true'' purpose of the [[Halo Array]], utterly destroying his and his team's faith in the promised "[[Covenant_religion#The_Great_Journey|Great Journey]]." 'Refumee then proceeded to cut off all communications to the fleet until the "Oracle" could fully explain the matter.<ref name="terminal">'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Terminal 11]]''</ref> | ||
Disillusioned with the lies of the [[Hierarchs|Prophets]] and their Great Journey, 'Refumee initiated an open rebellion against the Covenant's San'Shyuum leadership. In secret, he sent holographic recordings to other [[Sangheili]] about the true purpose of the [[Halo Array|Halos]]. In the meantime, he strengthened the defenses of the gas mine, fortifying it with [[Type-27 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|plasma cannons]] and a large complement of [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] fighter craft in anticipation of the Covenant's retribution for his heresy. He also had at least one [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph]] fighter in the mine's docking bay. In addition, the group was supported by the [[Sentinel]]s based in the gas mine, under the command of 343 Guilty Spark.<ref name="arbiter"/> | Disillusioned with the lies of the [[Hierarchs|Prophets]] and their Great Journey, 'Refumee initiated an open rebellion against the Covenant's San'Shyuum leadership.

One possibility is that they were all killed, since 'Refumee tells Guilty Spark that "I shall cast them all into the mists below" for attacking him, though Spark tells him no more deaths are required. It's also possible that the Kig-Yar did not defect with the heretics, being mercenaries who viewed the Covenant as more profitable. | ||
