Jegi Haram

Jegi Haram was a Fleetmaster under Jul ‘Mdama’s Covenant Remnant, later leading his own small faction inside a brigantine.
A devout believer in the Covenant faith, his curiosity to forerunner ruins only grew when he participated in the securing of Etran Harborage. By then he was under the command of recently-promoted Evocatus Lezo Gohomee. 
==Biography==
===Human-Covenant War===
Jegi became a loyal subordinate and ally to Lezo during the Human-Covenant War. After being assigned to separate fleets, Jegi managed to rise through the ranks until commanding his own SDV-class corvette. 
When the schism began, he fiercely protected his fellow sangheili brethren and his corvette was among the ships fighting inside the city when the Flood arrived. When Flood were reported in the city, Jegi ordered all of his men back onto his corvette to evacuate. Eventually, Jegi was able to escape the ruined city. After regrouping with the Fleet of Retribution. He later contacted Lezo, whom he informed on the events of the Schism, and the collapse of the Holy City. Jegi was sent as part of a larger fleet to hunt down brute and flood stragglers from the fleet engagement over the Halo Installation 05.
===Post-War===
On May 2nd, 2553, Jegi arrived over his homeworld of Hesduros, where he heard the whispers of a restored Covenant, led by another sangheili and desired to search for lost forerunner relics.
Jegi ended up being one of Jul ‘Mdama’s first shipmasters. Being unexceptional in his tactics slowed his rise through the ranks, but his devotion and understanding of deep forerunner history and technology curried Jul’s favor and would receive opportunities to prove himself.
One of those opportunities was his decision to secure Shrivi, a ship graveyard world, and to begin reactivating the more-intact ships simply discarded there for being used by pirates during the Covenant’s era. Jul would assign him a small fleet and to be the one in-charge of Shrivi’s ship re-activation efforts. While stationed there, many relics discarded for being contaminated by cowardly pirates were discovered. Many of the relics made reference to the “Domain”. This sparked Jegi’s curiosity, as the Domain would not only be a new discovery, but also lead to further relics. 
Jegi presented his finding to Jul, specifying on locations of interest that could have been used as access points into what Jegi believed at the time to be a massive communications network between active relics. Jul, recognizing the importance and potential use of such relics, allowed Jegi to take three RCS cruisers and to investigate these locations. Jul remained focused more on the Didact and his attempts to open the shield world known as Requiem.
Although Jegi did not find access to the Domain, he found many glyph sequences and information about the Didact he presented to Jul. After his results in his expeditions and fleet managing, Jul promoted Jegi to fleetmaster. His RCS would now be accompanied by more and newer ships and would be present in any new archeological discoveries.
When Requiem was opened, Jegi was busy in another point of investigation regarding The Domain. He dropped the investigation and sped to Requiem to assist Jul ‘Mdama. He also remained overhead during the Second Requiem Campaign, losing even one of his personal vessel, a CRS sent to destroy a spartan fireteam, was boarded and destroyed. Jegi expressed frustration to Gek ‘Lhar for the loss of vital archeological finds and minds aboard that vessel. Gek dismissed his frustrations as “babblings of a loremind” and continued to focus on his planet-wide defense.
When Requiem was set to collide with the star, Jegi’s fleet departed and regrouped with Jul’s main fleet. Jegi did not protest the destruction of Requiem, since he felt he had plundered enough relics from the shield world. For uncovering many secrets and functions hidden inside the shield world, Jegi was granted the “Blessed Lance”, a Lursu-pattern brigantine that would function as his flagship.
===Created Crisis===
Despite being in opposing sides and opinions, Jegi maintained contact with his former lance leader, Lezo, through a neutral courier sangheili, who exchanged their correspondences without putting the other in danger. They concluded this gesture before the Battle of Kamchatka.
Jegi was ordered to accompany Jul to Kamchatka when the Promethean forces began to betray the Covenant. Jegi’s fleet were occupied by the planetary Particle cannons and he could only listen to when Jul was assassinated by UNSC forces. Frustrated with his inability to save his benefactor, and with his collapsed relations with Lezo, Jegi abandoned the Covenant Remnant and departed from Kamchatka after the battle with his Brigantine and its crew. Jegi hoped to find what he had spent the last five years searching for: The Domain, and the power it provides. 
The Created Crisis began and Jegi began to avoid the more well-known installations for new artifacts in fear of the Created destroying his ship.
===Entreating Ingress===
Jegi raided a Banished salvage operation on Kholo to restock supplies for his crew. However, a Banished sangheili used his active camouflage to survive and hide inside the ship. He sent an encrypted signal, actively revealing the position of the brigantine. Lezo was able to intercept the signal before it reached any Banished fleets and prepared the Eternal Servitude to engage. 
Two days later, the heavy carrier returned over an uncharted Shield world that Jegi discovered months ago, A day later, The Blessed Lance was ambushed by the Eternal Servitude. Despite their best efforts, the brigantine was overwhelmed and began being boarded. Jegi was caught completely by surprise and did not understand how his former leader found him. While Lezo’s forces boarded the ship, he ordered any and all readied transports to depart and land onto the shield world named “Entreating Ingress”. Lezo plundered the brigantine, relieving it of many abandoned munitions and vehicles, as well as appropriating its slipspace drive to replace his inadequate ORS-class drive.
Once Lezo found out Jegi’s purpose in the shield world, he followed Jegi into Entreating Ingress and began a prolonged battle in the shield world. Jegi’s forces established themselves around a sealed entrance to the inner shield world. When Jegi landed, he received signals from a Forerunner AI, telling him where to go, what to unseal and what to do to reach his goal. Lezo’s forces attacked the entrance base, but Jegi’s forces were able to open the pathway, and withdrew deeper into the shield world. Lezo began sending troops back to the Eternal Servitude as he and a handful of zealots managed to unseal the greater pathway, meant for large vessels. They later returned to the Eternal Servitude and flew into the shield world.
Jegi had gotten far ahead and reached a massive temple, known as the “Gate”. There, his forces fortified their position as they prepared to defend their final objective. 
Lezo managed to deploy his forces and lead them to the Gate, where a bloody fight ensued. Lezo reached Jegi in the sub-level of the temple, where he tried to activate the temple, which was supposed to open a portal to the Domain. Instead, the AI that told him everything had deceived him, and led to a massive Flood containment field to be completely deactivated. The Flood was released and the sentinel defenses roared to life. Jegi roared in frustration, slicing the control panel used to release the flood with his energy sword. A single flood tentacle burst from the ground, towering over the fleetmaster. Jegi roared, charging towards the large tentacle and slashing his blade against it. The tentacle did not recoil in pain, and simply pulled backwards, then slammed downwards onto the fleetmaster before burrowing back into the ground. 
==Personality==
A devout believer, he truly believed Jul was touched by the Didact and would worship him as much as the forerunners themselves. 
He considers the relics much more valuable than the lives of his own soldiers, willing to sacrifice his crew for a chance to investigate forerunner ruins. He only shows a shred of care when relics are in danger as well. However, his fascination also clouded his reasoning, as he began believing he would be able to access the Domain and ascend to godhood.
Initially very respectful of his former commander, Lezo, he grew distant and hostile towards him while serving Jul 'Mdama hostility towards humanity and with Lezo opposing Jul's forces. Although they maintained contact, Jegi finally gave up before the Battle of Kamchatka, vowing to destroy Lezo's fleet himself.
