Kath

Kath is a Kig-Yar shipmaster who was previously under contract with the Covenant and the Terom Group but came under the employ of the Wartorn after the Collapse of the Covenant. In 2543, Kath was hired as a third party to obtain goods and other materials.

Early Life
Born on Dal'koth, Kath was taught from an early age on how to board small Covenant starships, kill the crew, and scuttle it by his parents. In his youth, Kath would join his family in pirating Covenant emissary vessels and stealing all they could before a response arrived. He would eventually strike out on his own before contracting himself and his crew to the Covenant, ironically.

Within a decade of him selling information to his pirate brothers, skimming off the top from Covenant finds, and generally being a nuisance at every point, Kath was eventually "introduced" to the Vice Minister of Inquisition, Lorb Drobtu, by way of Sangheili Inquisitors, carbines, and a stun lance. Brought before the San'Shyuum, Kath was offered a lucrative deal working with him and his cadre known as the "Terom Group", in addition to supplementary contracts offered through the Ministry of Inquisition to track down "rogue" groups of Covenant and pirates. While working with the San'Shyuum, they have managed to "eliminate" many heretics and pirates.

Jackpot
While browsing stocks belonging to human rebels on their black market, Kath's luminary brought a specific item to his notice. This item came from a former UEG-controlled colony world called Cybele VI. Kath would purchase a small sample of Forerunner technology from them and bring it to the Terom Group, whom he knew would pay him more.

After delivering the item to his Terom contact, he was given what he desired and more, as well as an additional contract that extended to the locals of the colony. In exchange for the pick of the technology they salvaged, they would provide them with weaponry, additional luminaries to locate more tech, and protection from the Covenant, something that was rare in those years. Kath was hired to become the official ambassador between Cybele VI and the Terom Group, and later of the Wartorn.

Personality & Traits
Akin to the rest of his species, Kath is opportunistic, devious, and worst of all, willing to wait for years before striking. Kath, however, has morals and will side to any group or faction that he believes would both help him and others, while working with other groups that he considered bad and continuously screwing them over, like what he did with the Covenant.

Equipment
Kath is equipped with the same Type-31 needle rifle he was assigned when he first joined the Covenant military but had customized it was paintings of a derogatory script about Unggoy. As a side-arm, Kath was armed with a plasma pistol variant called the "Spitfire" by UNSC troops, one that he got from one of his cousins on High Charity.

Despite wearing what appears to be a standard combat harness for his kind, he has since upgraded it with a short-term cloaking device, built-in shielding generator, and a waste recycling device.
