RIPA ‘MORAMEE

Ruthless and unrelenting, Ripa ‘Moramee seemed little concerned with honor, and far more with victory – no matter the cost. Early in his military career, Ripa rose in renown thanks to success in several ordained campaigns. His meteoric rise in the Covenant ranks started during the Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience, when he led the Covenant strike force which quelled the dissenting Grunts in days. His reputation for ruthlessness was cemented after butchering the infamous Kig-Yar pirate lord, Krith, during which his legion was reduced to a handful of hardened killers. His skills in war were honed in dozens of compliance campaigns at the fringes of Covenant space. Worlds burned to prove his piety and devotion to the Great Journey.

If Ripa had a weakness, it was that audacity sometimes blinded his ability to choose battles more wisely. Such was the case when the brash warrior attempted to overthrow his clan leader on the stronghold world of Malurok. Overestimating his leadership ability and strength of arms, ‘Moramee finally met defeat on the battlefield. His failure would condemned Ripa to a living death, but Ripa’s audacious failure drew the eye of the Prophet of Regret, who was searching for an agent he could ascend to the role of Arbiter.
