He fought multiple battles alongside the [[Spartan|"demon"]] [[John-117]] on [[Installation 05]], [[Earth]], and [[Installation 00]] in the final weeks of the war.  


Returning to [[Sanghelios]] after the conclusion of the war, the Arbiter went on to become a symbol of Sangheili honor and resilience in the face of betrayal. He attempted to unite the feudal states across his homeworld in forming the first coalition government since the [[Sangheili-San'Shyuum War|First Age of Conflict]]. Despite his efforts, he met resistance from [[Covenant remnants|many of his people]], who felt that his ideals and beliefs went against the traditional values of the Sangheili.
