- "This is but the beginning brothers... for I am Sali 'Nyon, the one true prophet. Let my name be spoken all across this universe."
- — Sali 'Nyon[1]
Sali 'Nyon is a Sangheili who previously was in the service of the revived Covenant, but after the events on Requiem, he launched a failed attempt to rebel against Jul 'Mdama.[1]
Biography
Battle of Aktis IV
- Catherine Halsey: "Who is this Sali 'Nyon?"
- Jul 'Mdama: "An unexceptional warrior and inept commander. But his devotion to the Forerunners is true, and some of our more impressionable brothers are drawn by his fervor."
- — Catherine Halsey and Jul 'Mdama discuss Sali 'Nyon[2]
After the events on Requiem and Jul 'Mdama allied himself with Doctor Catherine Halsey, Sali began questioning 'Mdama's true intentions. Sali started to recruit his own followers, viewing himself as the true Hand of the Didact, and plotted against Jul. By July 2558, amidst the Battle of Aktis IV, his followers were identified by 'Mdama's forces. During the battle, after 'Mdama's forces tricked the UNSC into delivering their half of the Janus Key to Aktis IV's surface, 'Nyon's followers shot down the D79-TC Pelican carrying the Key. This led to confusion among 'Mdama's ranks, whom recognized the attack to be unauthorized by 'Mdama. Nonetheless, 'Mdama's fleet proceeded with their planned attack on the orbiting UNSC Infinity ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, 'Nyon made his way to the Pelican's crash site and retrieved the UNSC's half of the Janus Key for himself.[1]
Traveling to the surface of Aktis IV himself, 'Mdama and his forces began to eliminate 'Nyon's insurgents. 'Nyon broadcasted a message across Jul's entire fleet to incite them to join him in rebellion. 'Nyon, with his half of the Janus Key, retreated to his hideout in a jungle. A Sangheili Zealot approached him about the feasibility of continuing the rebellion, to which 'Nyon responded by reassuring his followers that the Forerunners had blessed them, citing his recovery of half of the Janus Key as proof. A Sangheili Minor stated that the Prometheans' allegiance to Jul 'Mdama was evidence to the contrary, but 'Nyon insisted that the answers to their questions would all be revealed in time. While 'Nyon left to help aid the wounded, the Minor, disillusioned with 'Nyon's rebellion, stole his half of the Janus Key and departed on a Type-32 Ghost. The Minor contacted a Zealot serving under 'Mdama, and promised to provide the stolen Janus Key half and 'Nyon's location of his hideout. The Zealot reluctantly agreed and prepared to establish a rendezvous point.[2]
Not much later, 'Mdama's forces would discover 'Nyon's hideout. Most, if not all, of his followers were killed, and 'Nyon himself was imprisoned. His rebellion had effectively came to an end. 'Mdama, however, would decide to keep 'Nyon alive for the time being.[3]
