Kola ‘Baoth

Kola ‘Boath spent most of his life as a warrior within the Covenant, serving in the empire’s Ranger forces with unquestionable distinction. In 2552, Kola began receiving secret messages from his brother, who was serving under Sesa ‘Refumee’s forces while exploring a Forerunner gas mine orbiting Threshold. Though most lines of outside communications had been severed by ‘Refumee when he came into contact with the Oracle, Kola’s brother succeeded in sending out scattered messages to detail newly encountered truths. Upon being confronted by these new developments, Kola’s faith in the Covenant began to wane. When the Great Schism was initiated, the Elite ranger wasted little time in turning against the Prophets.

Following the conflict, the Arbiter eventually met with Kola personally to tell of his brother’s death at the gas mine – by the Arbiter’s own hand. As an act of restitution, the Arbiter offered Kola a place in his own burgeoning army, giving the ranger the opportunity to continue the fight that his brother had started. Kola accepted the offer, and was eventually stationed on the corvette Mayhem, commanded by N’tho ‘Sraom. In 2555, Kola and N’tho were both part of a hybrid Sangheili-human task force to Installation 00 during Operation: FAR STORM.
