Biography
Life as the general of the Covenant Army
Fal was an Arbiter of the Covenant, a position which, at the time, was the general of the Covenant army. He was tough but fair to his men, and was a great military leader. However, he believed that his people had strayed from their honor and fought for power and supremacy, not for honor. Perhaps because of this, he also believed that the Great Journey was a false belief, used by the Prophets to achieve power over the Covenant. For this, he was declared a heretic by the Hierarchs. To try and dispose of him, the Prophets sent the Covenant army to kill him. Fal's skill with a blade were unmatched, and he slaughtered an entire Covenant squad sent to dispatch him.
Duel with Harka
Because Fal was declared a heretic, Harka, a member of Fal's clan, took advantage of the event. In an attempt to provoke and defeat Fal, Haka forced one of Fal's closest friends, Roe, into killing Fal's wife, Han. Fal came back home after the battle to find Roe and Han's bodies. When he found Han he was in so much grief, he let out a cry of deep sorrow.[1] He swiftly moved to accept Harka's challenge, brutally plowing his way through an entire Covenant Army unit to reach his wife's murderer. When Fal finally met Harka atop a Forerunner structure, the duel began. After being mortally wounded by Harka's blade, Fal managed to stab his foe. They both died by each other's hands. Fal's last thoughts before dying was the memories of his wife.[1]
Legacy
Before Fal's actions, the rank of Arbiter was considered a privilege. Fal's heresy led the Prophets to declare that the rank of Arbiter would thenceforth be one without honor, given to those who could be useful to them as a last chance to regain their lost honor before death.
