Kitun 'Arach
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Kitun 'Arach was a Sangheili Warrior in service with Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.
Biography
In October 2558, 'Arach fought in the Battle of Kamchatka, where he led a Covenant lance trying to assault the hill leading to the temple where Jul 'Mdama and Catherine Halsey were stationed. Despite considerable firepower from a Kraken aiding them, 'Arach's forces were unable to break through the Promethean defenses, until Spartan Fireteam Osiris arrived and destroyed the numerous Promethean Soldiers and Crawlers there. "Conflicting reports" of the battle suggest that 'Arach may have actually formed an unlikely alliance with the humans, temporarily fighting alongside Osiris so as to destroy the Soldiers together.[1][2]
After 'Mdama's death at Kamchatka, his Covenant regrouped for a full attack on the Vadam lands at Sanghelios. Kitun's brother Jacul sent him a message, urging him to leave the Covenant and join the Swords of Sanghelios, but Kitun ignored him.[3]
During the Battle of Sunaion, Kitun was one of the commanders who led the defense of the city.[1] During the battle he and his brother Jacul fought each other, and Kitun managed to kill him, but his brother mortally wounded him before he died. Regretful for killing his brother, in his dying breath Kitun wondered if he would met Jacul in the other life.[4]
Production note
According to Canon Fodder, Kitun 'Arach is the Elite who can be rescued for the Enemy of my Enemy achievement. Doing so will turn him from an enemy to an NPC ally, the only enemy in the game who can do so. Killing him does not affect the story, as his Mission Intel logs will still be found in the following levels.
