- "I honor his memory each day. When our enemy rises, we meet their challenge. It is why I created the Hand of Atriox. I found the best. The cruelest. The most effecient killers in the universe... and taught them how to be better."
- — Escharum to John-117.[2]
The Hand of Atriox was a special operations unit within the Banished, named in the honor of its presumed late leader Atriox. Also known as Spartan Killers,[1] these warriors specialized in taking down UNSC Spartans. Jega 'Rdomnai was its first recruit and served as one of its most feared members.[3]
History

Battle for Zeta Halo
- Main article: Battle for Zeta Halo
While stranded on a fragment of the Installation 07, Gorian formed a brief alliance with Spartan Tomas Horvath for mutual survival until they could escape the fragment.[4]
On May 14, 2560, both Gorian and Jega 'Rdomnai took part in the Battle of the Beacon Tower where UNSC forces sought to use a beacon tower to broadcast the coordinates of the ring to UNSC space. During the battle, Gorian was killed by Horvath while the UNSC survivors escaped with the help of Submonitor Adjunct Veridity.[5]
On May 28, following the destruction of three Banished Gorespike cannons by John-117, War Chief Escharum dispatched Hyperius and Tovarus to kill the legendary Spartan. However, both brothers died at the Master Chief's hands. Subsequently, Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to bring him the Master Chief[6] and he kidnapped Fernando Esparza to draw the Master Chief out.[7]
As predicted by Escharum, the Master Chief attacked the House of Reckoning to get Esparza back. During the battle, a cloaked 'Rdomnai attacked the Spartan in the structure on the third level of the Banished fortress. However, the Master Chief defeated 'Rdomnai, apparently killing him. However, the Spartan was unable to confirm this as the Sangheili's body disappeared without a trace.[8]
