Blood Heresy

The Blood Heresy was a term used to describe the original faction of warriors to break away from the Covenant, during the Loss of Hope. The Blood Heresy did not break away for religious reasons, instead, they were composed of surrendering, betrayed, or condemned enemy soldiers who joined seeking vengeance.

The term "Blood Heresy" was not coined until after the Battle of the Gas Mine, where the Heresy was formed, which played a part in the formation of the Covenant Separatists.
