Imperial Guard: "from this day forth we pledge ourselves, to the covenant, and to the house of Va'anex. May we fall on our swords if we fail to uphold our duty." - Pledge of the Imperial Guard. The imperial guard serve as the protectors of house Va'anex and all of its members. They are hand chosen by the houses current leader ( currently Va'ashan) for their combat skill, tactical nature, and unquestionable loyalty. Given advanced combat armor and weapons they are often dispatched on missions that would seem impossible to less skilled warriors. Out of every 300 guardsmen two are picked to become the house honor guard, protecting the house leader. These two Sangheili have exceptional combat skill and are issued the best equipment available to the covenant empire. Though it is hard for Sangheili from a different house to join the honor guard it is not impossible. They become indoctrinated into house Va'anex and renounce their old house, alliances, and even their mate. The history of house Va'anex and Va'ashan: Many years before the San'shyum annexed the sangheili race into the covenant, house Va'anex began to form. Another house, Al'ete had been corrupted and had lost its sense of honor and integrity. Many in the clan began to realize this and started to question the rule of their houses leader. After luring most of the opposed people to his palace the house leader had his guards massacre them to show his clan-mates what questioning his decisions would get them. To his dismay it did quite the opposite. Most of his clan rallied against him calling for a new age. The revolt turned into a full fledged civil war as the the unhappy members of the clan united under a new banner; House Va'anex. The civil war raged for more than 2 years. Ending in a bloody triumph for house Va'anex. Immediately after the new house leader established the Royal Guard (named the Imperial guard after the Sangheili joined the covenant) the guard was established to protect the integrity of the house and to hunt down any remaining loyalists to house Al'ete. Ever since the house has been independent and very successful in rebuilding their empire. Va'ashan's storyline: Va'ashan was born near the end of the Age of Doubt on the Sangheili home world of Sanghelios. At the age of 10 he began the brutal training to become a warrior in the covenant's ever growing army. House Va'anex demanded the best from its warriors and Va'ashan's combat skill soon earned him a place in the Imperial Guard. From there his prowess as a ship commander brought him to fly a covenant corvette. At the age of 30 he had already attained the rank of fleetmaster. For years he waged war upon the fleets of the human empire, wining battle after battle and taking at least four human colonies and taking part in the Reach campaign stationed aboard a CCS class battle cruiser during the reach campaign he led the glassing operations in New Alexandrea. After gaining favor with most of the high council and several flawless campaigns, he was promoted to Supreme Commander at the age of 40. Several years later the human covenant war he fought the brutes alongside Xytan 'Jar Wattinree. After the great schism he joined the swords of Sanghelios, hoping to repair the Sangheili's relationship with the human race and exact revenge on those who had betrayed his kind.
