"Our power shall become so great that even the Forerunner shall beg us for mercy!"

- Vektonumus on the Jiralhanae Empire.

Vektonumus is the leader of the Jiralhanae Empire and the wielder of unprecedented power.

History
Vektonumus gained his power quickly, relying on his cunning more than anything else. Before the end of the Human-Covenant War, he had already gained the respect and allegiance of many and since then, his strength has steadily been on the rise. Vektonumus wasn't always this powerful, however. He was once simply known as Vektonum, the young and rash Brute whos ravenous behavior would soon be clouded by the needs of his species. He was born after the Human-Covenant War on Acies, one of the last worlds still controlled by the Brutes and the most habitable. Unfortunately, power-hungry Jiralhanae who wanted to take over after the loss of much of their leaders began a civil war, something the Jiralhanae didn't need. During his entire life, Vektonum was in danger of being killed. When he came of age, he also fought in the war but the risk of extinction finally began to become a concern so he tried to stop the war the only way he knew how too, more violence. He killed his Pack Chieftain and assumed his title, gaining the allegiance of the tribe of 300.

In a three year campaign, Vektonumus began attacking the Chieftains of other tribes, assimilating their tribes in the process. His tribe eventually became so large, other Chieftains began cutting deals with him for their survival. After gaining enough control over the Jiralhanae, Vektonumus began learning of what brought his people to this state, the Human-Covenant War. Learning from the few remaining veterans of that war, Vektonumus had a major thought. He would use what resources he could to attack the former Covenant Loyalist species and enslave them, eventually gaining enough of a force to get revenge on the Humans and Covenant Seperatists, take their resources, and make the Jiralhanae the strongest species in the known Galaxy. First, he travelled to Dosaic, the homeworld of the Jiralhanae and began to assimilate the tribes there. This is when he discovered the remnants of a Covenant fleet, atleast a dozen ships still active. He would use these ships to lead an attack against the Kig-Yar, Yanme'e, and eventually other races.

Strength
Vektonumus is one of the largest Jiralhanae ever seen, standing about two inches taller than Tartarus. This gives him a forboding image that demands respect. He wears the armor of any Chieftain, red and black with an ornate helmet. The difference in his armor is that he eventually gains recharging energy shielding and a jump pack. The upside to this is extreme defense and maneuverability. The downside is that the Jump Pack draws energy from his shields in order to operate. He also uses a Gravity Hammer but is mostly seen wielding the Kinetic Cleaver. Further down the road, Vektonumus eventually gains control of a powerful Forerunner artifact and begins using it to strengthen his control over his billions of subjects and the rest of the Orion Arm.
