[/quote] [b]MAJOR SPOILERS FOR HALO: [i]THE THURSDAY WAR[/i][/b] Jul discovers that his wife Raia and best friend Forze were killed when the Arbiter gave the go-ahead for the Infinity to MAC strike the city of Ontom on Sanghelios to put an end to the Brute rebellion (setting the stage for The Return in Halo: [i]Evolutions[/i]). Jul, during his time inside the Onyx Dyson Sphere, travels with an Engineer and sneakily gets information about the Didact - he interprets him to be the holy warrior located within Requiem who will save the Sangheili and wipe out humanity, having previously been in conflict with them 110,000 years before. He goes to the world of Kelekos, a backwards Covenant colony with little outside contact (the inhabitants don't even know the war is over) and some rather ragged but plentiful supplies. The Grunts and Jackals seem to be a sub-species, and the physical appearance of the Elites seems to have degraded as they lived on their isolated and feral colony. [Edited on 10.06.2012 12:19 PM PDT]
