Unidentified shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance): Difference between revisions

|species=Sangheili

*[[Covenant separatists]]

This '''unidentified [[Shipmaster]]''' was the [[Sangheili]] commander of the ''[[Fleet of Righteous Vigilance]]'', who fought in the [[Human-Covenant War]] and later became part of the [[Covenant separatists]] when the [[Great Schism]] broke out.<ref name="Return">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Return''</ref>

When the Great Schism began, he confronted the Prophet of Conviction, whose species, the [[San 'Shyuum]], had attempted to kill the Sangheili. The Prophet had heard of the start of the schism and locked himself in his room, armed with his plasma pistol. The Shipmaster, however, overpowered the Prophet after dodging his overcharged shot and brought him forward in front of the crew, who were exposed to images of the Sangheili [[councilor]]s assassinated by the San 'Shyuum's [[Jiralhanae]] "puppets". He then executed Conviction and left with the crew to join the [[Covenant separatists]].<ref name="Return"/>

===Post Human-Covenant War===

From that day until at least [[2559]], he had been fighting the Jiralhanae in the ongoing Great Schism. That year, the Shipmaster returned to Kholo so that he could atone for the sins he felt that he had committed. On Kholo, he discovered a human excavation operation among the ruins of a city. There, he observed humans in a firefight with a small group of [[Kig-yar]] raiders, eventually fighting the Kig-yar himself. Shortly thereafter he encountered two humans, one dead from multiple plasma shots in the legs and torso, and another who had been wounded. Thinking that the human would die from his wound, the Shipmaster moved on, but then stumbled upon pictures of humans observing [[Forerunner]] artifacts, including an [[Monitor|"Oracle"]]. He then returned to the wounded human; realizing that the [[Type-51 Carbine|carbine]] round had passed through the latter's body, the Shipmaster decided to try to save the human, calling in a medic from his ship, as well as a security squad, the ship's chief engineer, and a patrol of the surrounding area for Kig-yar or Human ships. It was his intention that once the human recovered, he would interrogate him in order to discover the reason for the excavations on the planet.<ref name="Return"/>
