Thyl 'Zantak

Shipmaster Thyl 'Zantak was formerly a commander in the Covenant Navy, serving with distinction throughout the war with Mankind. In the aftermath of the war, which saw the collapse of the Covenant Empire, Thyl took his ship, the CCS-class battlecruiser Purveyor of the Righteous, and wandered through former Covenant space. In 2554, he stumbled upon the Human-led pirate group known as Campbell's Marauders, raiding a former Covenant stockpile. Upon being contacted by their leader, the enigmatic Jerrold Campbell, he was offered something he had been looking for since the fall of the Covenant, a purpose. Joining Campbell's rapidly expanding group of privateers, Thyl's possession of a Covenant battlecruiser made him a valuable asset to Campbell's operations and thus he was quickly made the head of his own cell. For the next several years, he prowled Human and Covenant space, stalking the space lanes and growing his forces, becoming one of the biggest cells in Campbell's fleet.
