This unidentified Sangheili Zealot participated in the Battle of Circinius IV in 2526, when the Covenant attacked Circinius IV. During the battle, this Zealot led the Covenant ground assault on Corbulo Academy, shortly after Covenant corvettes destroyed the space elevator being used to evacuate the Academy's cadets. The Zealot personally initiated the attack by using his energy sword to demolish a statue of General Corbulo, the Roman general whom the Academy was named after. Covenant ground troops, consisting mostly of Kig-Yar, soon overwhelmed the Marines and ODSTs protecting the Academy. [1]
Once most resistance was neutralized, the Zealot began hunting down the surviving cadets for sport. Under the cover of Active Camouflage, the Zealot killed Cadet Junjie Chen in the dorms with its energy sword, then pursued the remaining cadets to the weapons locker, where it killed Cadet Walter Vickers with a plasma rifle. It soon cornered Cadets April Orenski, Thomas Lasky, Chyler Silva, and Michael Sullivan and was about to kill them when John-117 appeared and stabbed it in the back of the neck with his combat knife, killing the Zealot.

Trivia
