Takra 'Ravakrae/SOTF submission

Overview
Takra 'Ravakrae, also commonly known as the Battlemaster, is a Sangheili legionmaster of the Banished. He was formerly a Supreme Commander that oversaw the early stages of the Covenant's war against humanity, famed for his tactical acumen and boldness. After the war, he would go into hiding for several years, eventually reemerging as a member of the Banished along with his forces.
Background
As the eldest of two siblings, Takra was groomed to inherit his father's position of high kaidon and become the next ruler of his homeworld, Uthravik. However, this would never come to pass, as Takra saw no satisfaction in sitting on a throne. Rather, he was captivated by the legends of war and the glory that accompanied them. He went against his father's wishes and fled his home with his brothers at his side, where they enlisted together with the Covenant military.
Takra's early career saw him fighting the lowly elements of Covenant society. And while combat on the ground taught him much, he felt no fulfilment. He decided to be patient and prayed to the gods that they would bless him. That would come to pass, and it manifested when he was reassigned to the troop contingent of a ship. Merely being present aboard a warship served as sufficient inspiration for Takra to eventually have himself reassigned and become an official crew member of the ship. It was from this moment onward that he became a proud member of the empire's armada. He gradually climbed the ranks, first receiving command over his own ship, then a fleet, and eventually a combined fleet. At this point in time, he had been appointed as a Supreme Commander, and he was designated to spearhead efforts in identifying and preparing forces for invading human worlds. When the war went into full throttle, Takra and his fleet were deployed en masse to reinforce the Covenant's forces on the frontline.
Throughout the first two decades of the war, Takra's bold strategies and handling of logistics granted the Covenant numerous victories, which in turn earned him favour with the High Prophets. At least, that is the impression he formed as he was frequently showered with praise and awards. But in reality, the Prophet of Truth and his cohorts feared Takra would evolve into something akin to Xytan 'Jar Wattinree, the legendary Imperial Admiral. Shortly after the siege of the Inner Colonies began, something that Takra enabled after his victory at the Battle of Arkansas V, he and his fleet were delegated to a support role for the remainder of the war. His superiors limited his command to only a handful of vessels, while the fleetmasters formerly under his command were granted more authority and autonomy. He despised the Prophets for this, but that hatred would intensify when the Great Schism occurred.
When the war's end was near, what Takra viewed as a form of betrayal had resulted in him being entirely barred from the conflict. For some strange reason, he was suddenly granted command over his fleet, but they were stationed out in the middle of uninhabited space, having been ordered to remain on standby and await further instructions. This was merely a ruse, for the Prophet of Truth intended to incorporate Takra's fleet into his own, and so he ordered the Jiralhanae element of the fleet to mutiny against Takra and assume control. But things did not proceed in his favour, as after a lengthy and bloody space battle, Takra and his loyalist forces came out on top as the victors. Unfortunately, half of the fleet was destroyed. And after receiving word that High Charity was engulfed in civil war, Takra decided it was time to depart. On that day, he defected from the Covenant along with his forces, disappearing into the unknown.
Years later, Atriox of the Banished discovered Takra's whereabouts and pursued him. It was a difficult journey, but in the end, the warmaster convinced the Battlemaster to band together and become allies. He was inducted as a legionmaster and retained authority over his forces, who had been reorganised into a mercenary legion called the Brothers of Blood and Sorrow. Once again, Takra was reliving the glory days of command and warfare, becoming prominent as both a leader of the Banished and a threat to humanity.
Takra and his forces are currently present on Zeta Halo, fighting UNSC remnants.
Personality & Traits
Within the confines of social circles and everyday life, Takra is usually reserved and stoic. Even more so while active on duty, but there are moments where he expresses pride and joy, usually when he has accomplished victory after a battle or outsmarted his opponents in a game of wits. And he is not the type to risk failure, even though he has already taken plenty of risks in his life. When he takes a leap of faith, he goes through a meticulous process of ensuring that leap accounts for something. It is why he prefers handling logistics and overall command of his forces during an operation, which is a means to guarantee maximum success or at least achieve a favourable outcome. And these operations would not be successful if it were not for Takra's tactical brilliance. He possesses in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of war and is familiar with all its forms, which he uses to analyse a situation and determine the best course of action. All possibilities and variables are considered, and he conceives the kind of strategy that requires little to no contingencies in the event of failure. As he tends to believe, it is because of his strategies and abilities as a commander that he will always secure victory, even at the cost of many lives and the destruction of resources.
Takra values success and victory over almost everything else. He does not care for the mass destruction or countless deaths he may cause, because what only matters to him is the success and wellbeing of his kind. That being said, he has no respect for or sympathy for those who have wronged him, particularly his enemies. If they interfere with his operations or possess goals that threaten his own, then they are considered a threat. However, he will demonstrate respect those who are his allies or subordinates and particularly those whom he has deemed worthy of his regard. This is because others may have traits or goals similar to his, or they may have given him something invaluable. Either way, those who are on his good side can expect to be treated respectfully and with dignity. Additionally, he is honour-bound to those with whom he shares a close relationship. His concept of honour slightly differs from what mainstream Sangheili culture has defined, but it retains some of its core components, such as never cowering from a fight, spilling one's own blood, and keeping a promise. Takra strictly adheres to these tenets and will never allow anything to compromise them.
His ambition is known to be what drives him, but the more prominent qualities borne from this are his pride and arrogance. As mentioned previously, Takra can and will express a haughty attitude in moments of victory and success. Some may argue that he has every right to boast, considering the scores of victories he won for the Covenant and the benefits that came with them. But there have been moments where his hubris has resulted in dire consequences. These moments exist far apart from each other, but these mistakes are ones he has learned from. But is it reaching a point where he will finally pay the price, and it may just result in his downfall.
In every interaction, he will speak quite formally and always in calm tone. He may be polite depending on the circumstances, but typically he sounds neither friendly or hostile. 
As a military commander, he prefers coordinating his forces from a safe and secure location. It is this kind of protection that allows him to dominate his opponents without having to be present on the frontline. But in the rare scenario where he is confronted by the enemy, he tends to rely on any immediate resources at his disposal, and if those are not effective, then he will rely on himself.
As expected, he wields an energy sword, specifically an Meluth'qelos-pattern energy sword. But this particular one is custom-built, featuring an extended blade that is longer than a human is tall and almost as wide, too. Additionally, it is battery-operated, but the batteries contain extra juice, which allows the blade to function almost indefinitely, even after extensive use. He also uses a standard plasma carbine for long-range fire. His armour comes equipped with highly durable energy shielding. This shield can withstand sustained fire from both ballistic and plasma weapons, although the latter is more effective at weakening the shield, depending on the weapon. He also comes equipped with secondary overshields should his primary one fail, which will automatically activate. However, it is weaker than the primary shield and will quickly dissipate under sustained gunfire. As for secondary equipment, he has several plasma grenades on his person.
His fighting style incorporates both marksmanship and swordsmanship which relies on the balance between the two. Takra possesses considerable bodily strength, and he will use it to his advantage in close-quarters combat. With minimal effort, he can pick up or throw a regular human, even a Spartan. He can also perform athletic actions like sprinting or jumping with greater efficiency and flexibility compared to the average Sangheili. He will also make use of his stature, perhaps crouching low or even merely making himself out as imposing. And there are also his wits, where he will think at a rapid pace and formulate tactics on a whim.
Appearance 
Takra bears the average appearance of a Sangheili, with leathery grey skin and orange eyes. However, he possesses noticeably well-developed muscles. Additionally, he stands at 10 feet, 7 inches and weighs 753.34 lbs. He is usually attired in golden armour with red accents and wears a cloak.
