Vanaka 'Warikee

Vanaka 'Warikee was a Field Marshall that was largely in charge of the ground assault on the Human planet, Reach.

Summary
Notably present at the Battle of Ariel, as well as the Battle of Fumirole, he was a highly renowned Field Marshall during the Fall of Reach, he personally stalked Noble Team from their brief deployment in Visegrad, all the way to the Ship-breaking yards at Aszod, where Noble Six handed Cortana to Captain Keyes.

Battle of Ariel
Present during the battle of Ariel as an Ultra, Vanaka was unable to stop a squad of ODSTs from destroying a Forerunner artifact. Seeing defeat, his Commanding Prophet called a full retreat, stating the planet as "desecrated". Visibly distraught by this defeat, Vanaka made every possible decision to ensure his deployment during the Battle of Fumirole.

Battle of Fumirole
At Fumirole, he would once again face defeat. A CSS-Battle Cruiser was holding position over the city when a member of Noble Team sacrificed himself to blow up the cruiser with an MFDD. However, his superiors recognized his talent on the ground and promoted him straight up to Field Marshall. He had attained the highest number of kills out of any other Covenant member during the battle. Vanaka still considered his honer tarnished, however. He realized that the only way to re-attain it was to get revenge on Noble Team. He vowed to never stop until no members stood.

Battle of Reach
As a part of the advanced recon group that attacked Visegrad, Vanaka was among the first covenant members to step foot on Reach. At Visegrad, he encountered Noble team. Noble Team opened fire on him, and almost immediately burst his shields. He rammed Noble Six into a wall, before running back through the door he had come through. As he ran, he was shot 4 times in the back.

Further saddened by his inability to kill Noble Team, he would finally win his first ground battle at New Alexandria. Glassed by the Covenant, Vanaka rode in a Phantom dropship around the empty corpse of a city, hoping to catch any stragglers. He found some in the form of Noble Team. He spied that one of them, Noble Two, had no shields. He shot her in the head before flying off.

Finally, Vanaka was present during the battle at the ship-breaking yard at Aszod. After having his team dispatch Noble Four, he stood guard at the Onager. As predicted, Noble Six was eventually spotted. Vanaka took out his Fuel Rod Cannon. He witnessed, out of the corner of his eyes, his squad mates being gunned down by the Spartan, and started to fire his cannon blindly out of pure rage. He was shot and killed by Noble Six.
