Alliance of the Faithful

The Alliance of the Faithful was a major breakaway faction of the Covenant Empire in the immediate aftermath of the Great Schism. Created and led by the Sangheili Imperial Admiral Foro 'Jar Utaralee, the Alliance rapidly grew to be the largest faction outside the Covenant Empire by March 2553. Unified by a belief in the Great Journey, the betterment of all classes, and the forging of a new Covenant, the Alliance of the Faithful comprised millions of individuals of all but one of the original species of the Covenant; for their actions in the Schism and the betrayal of the councilors, the Jiralhanae were barred from membership in the Alliance.
