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]]}} | 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."

While the Master Chief is trying to rescue [[Fernando Esparza]], who has been captured by 'Rdomnai, 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}} | While the Master Chief is trying to rescue [[Fernando Esparza]], who has been captured by 'Rdomnai, Escharum appears to confront the Spartan for one final battle.
