As the Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice, I led the victorious Covenant forces at the First Battle of Reach. As the battle ended I ordered my ships to pursue the fleeing Pillar of Autumn to Halo. I was unable to prevent the destruction of the ring and the capture of the Ascendant Justice by Master chief and I was called before the High Council to answer for these failures. I travelled to High Charity on the flagship Seeker of Truth.
The loss of the Forerunner relic that the Covenant held "holy" rendered the Council unmoved by My defence and I was stripped of my rank, branded with the Mark of Shame in front of much of the Covenant, and sentenced to death. I would "Be hung by my entrails" and my corpse "Paraded through the city" as an example to others.
Upon being brought to the Prophet Hierarchs of Truth and Mercy, they intervened and offered to commute the sentence if I would become the new Arbiter. Understanding that becoming the Arbiter amounted to an indirect death sentence, but also seeking an opportunity to redeem myself, I accepted the offer.
