Kiyel

Kiyel is a high-ranking Kig-yar part of the Kig-yar Pirate Alliance. He comes from the the same continent as the Jackals from Halo 4.

Appearance
Kiyel wears dark red Jackal Heavy Armor, but has in time salvaged other technology, one being a Personal Energy Shield. He is slightly taller then most other Kig-yar, likely because of a recessive gen.

Equipment
He uses a Plasma Repeater and an Energy Dagger, as well as a fairly unknown kind of equipment: a Backpack. This backpack is worn on the lower back and allows for the user to carry food supplies.

Behaviour and Psychology
He has become such a high ranking member, because of his behaviour. Unlike most known Kig-yar, he is a very patient soldier and would rather wait for his enemy to come out, then to blindly run out into the open, looking for his foe. This strategy has saved him many times, as he has seen his fellow squadmates die time and time again.

History
Kiyel served in both the Covenant as the Covenant Separatists.During his (short) time with the Covenant, he was suspected of heresy, because he would be the lone survivor of his squad over and over again.

At some point, he was transferred to a Vessel Repair Facility. He would be guarding the cargo stored there. One time, the alarms sounded and distant explosions could be heard. The facility was being attacked. As the personnel was preparing for battle, Kiyel had noticed that the attackers were Demons, and knowing that he was unlikely to survive a battle with them, he went toward the escape pods. He was one of the few survivors who made it to High Charity.

Time with Ankhe He served under Ankhe Zamamee, an Elite Major. Ankhe was intelligent and patient. This had inspired Kiyel so much that he wanted to become like him. At some point, he became Ankhe’s personal guard. Ankhe taught him caution in the battlefield, as well as patience via an Arum, when they were travelling aboard a cruiser. When tentions rose between the Elites and the Brutes, Ankhe knew that soon a war would break out. He taught Kiyel skills that other Kig-yar wouldnt even care about.

Great Schism Kiyel was following a squad of Elites when they were attacked by Brutes. Unfortunately, the Brutes were far more numerous and the Elites were slaughtered. Kiyel managed to hold them off long enough for the Engineer to seal the door. Grateful that he was saved from certain death, the Hugarok installed a Personal Energy Shield on Kiyel’s armor. Together, they safely made their way to an Escape pod, which was later found by Covenant Separatists. At first, they didnt believe him to be on their side, but he proved it by assisting in the Battle of The Ark.
