- Caecili

Chieftain Caecili is Chieftain of the Covenant Heretics. He belongs to the council of Heretic Leaders, and is one of seven Leaders. Caecili has strong opposition to the Separatists, due to their attitude towards the humans. Caecili has a strong rivalry with 'Refum, but they work towards the same goal. He is currently aboard the Hammer of Crisis, the Heretic space station devoted to the training of new Heretic soldiers.

Early Life
Caecili was brought up on Doisac during the days of Pre-Covenant contact. He was raised by his father, Chieftain Syphax, the leader of a powerful clan. Caecili was a master of the gravity hammer, and was promised his father's weapon, the great Star of Fortitude. Their clan, the Augypti clan, defied much of traditional Jiralhanae tradition, leaving the "-us" suffix out of their names. Caecili had only just assumed the position of Captain when the Covenant appeared to the Jiralhanae. The Covenant sided with the "Alliance", a group of three clans, and their leader, Maccabeus. The Augypti fought against Covenant rule, but were destroyed, with their remaining troops conscripted in to low positions within the Covenant. Chieftain Syphax dueled with a young, ambitious zealot, Field Master Sesa 'Refumee, and was killed. His hammer was taken as a prize by the Commander, and Caecilius vowed to take it back, and avenge his father. He gained supported among the remainder of his old clan, and found himself a new hammer, which he called the Path to Independence, and rebelled within the Covenant, crushing as many Chieftains and Zealots as he could, trying to solidify his claims to his rightful title of Chieftain Caecilius. His men crushed the Covenant soldiers on the agricultural ship they were aboard. Caecilius gained more support from Jiralhanae of other clans. Eventually he assumed control of the ship, and proclaimed himself Chieftain of the Jiralhanae. He was contacted by the Hierarchs, and was offered that very position, as well as the ship he was aboard, the Study of Ages. He accepted this position, and would go on to lead that very agricultural ship to military success.

Sesa 'Refumee
Caecilius fought in many major battles against the humans, after Harvest. After Tartarus came to power, Caecilius eliminated himself from Jiralhanae politics, due to his hatred of Tartarus and the rest of his clan. Eventually, his ship, the Study of Ages, was brought into the Fleet of Particular Justice. It was there that Caecilius finally met his father's murderer. He challanged 'Refumee to a duel, but was defeated. Instead of killing Caecilius, 'Refumee handed the Star of Fortitude back to the Chieftain, and made him his protégé. Caecilius accepted this position, and invited the Field Commander, and all his Sangheili aboard the Study of Ages. All of the Jiralhanae aboard the ship, including Caecilius, resented the Sangheili, but eventually all the Jiralhanae began to share their views with the Sangheili. It was here that Caecilius met Kolar 'Refum. 'Refumee, Caecilius and 'Refum all took part in the Special Operations on Reach. Here, they uncovered many a Forerunner object, and discovered many truths about the Forerunners. They returned to the ship with their Jiralhanae, Sangheili and Unggoy allies.
