- "I bring you blessings, people of Reach. Know that I've come without mercy. Without pity. Know that I am the instrument of your extinction. I bring this planet forth as a burnt offering. Upon this altar, I place the head of the Demon. May his blood mark the way to the Sacred Ring and consecrate the Great Journey of my people. Know that I am Var 'Gatanai. Know that I am... Death."
- — Translation by Corporal Talia Perez of Var's prayer.[1]
Var 'Gatanai (Sangheili: Baro Gat'anai)[citation needed] was a Sangheili warrior who was chosen to be the Arbiter of the Covenant to lead the destruction of humanity, seemingly after the Battle of Raas Kkhotskha.[2][1]

Though a fierce and at times vicious warrior in battle, Var 'Gatanai valued the glory of combat and yearned to fight honorably against any capable and worthy opponents. The Arbiter gained no satisfaction in eliminating weak targets like human marines but did find a strong challenger in John-117, the Demon. During his confrontation with the Spartan, the Arbiter prepared for a fair sword duel when the Demon equipped himself with a nearby energy sword. However, 'Gatanai was left suddenly irate when a subordinate of his intervened and unceremoniously shot down his opponent. In a quick response, the Arbiter swung his sword and beheaded his fellow Sangheili for having denied him an honorable fight. As a honor bound warrior who lusts for glory, one of Var’s most distinguishing characteristics is his blind left eye. A wound he most likely suffered from a previous conflict, though the origins of this injury remain unknown.[3]
