Jusan 'Sasovai

"Nishum. You foul sacred artifacts with your digging, you dare resist the cleansing fire of our Covenant, and you cling to so many stars like parasites. My brothers in space have claimed your ship, and left me the honor of claiming your life."

- Jusan as he attempts to kill Aleksandra Zaytseva, before she manages to kill him.

Born on Sangheilios in the human year 2490, Jusan 'Sasovee grew up like many Sangheili, though seemed to have a natural talent with a blade, quickly taking to the skill in his young age and rising to the status of due to his prowess with a blade by 2520, only 30 years into his life. Joining the Covenant military following the discovery of the UNSC, 'Sasovee quickly advanced past the rank of Minor due to his skill with weapons and bladework, eventually entering into the ranks of Special Operations Sangheili after a short six years as a Major, making good use of his swordsmanship in this position. However, in the human year 2544, during the third day of the Siege of Sirona, he met his match in the form of UNSC Navy Pilot Aleksandra Zaytseva, who took advantage of his arrogance and underestimation of humans to gain the advantage in a close fight between the two, which ultimately ended in 'Sasovee's death, though not after he severely injured the human.

Early Life
Born in the Sasov state of Sangheilios in 2590 (Covenant 23rd Age of Doubt), Jusan was one of several young Sangheili in his keep. With the intense competition offered by the rest of his keep's youngsters, Jusan quickly advanced his skills with a blade in order to remain competitive, as his smaller stature left him with less physical strength than the competition. Through this dedication to his training, he became one of the best swordsmen in the keep and, by the age of 20, he was helping train others in the keep in the skill alongside the elders. Continue to perfect his skill, he was finally recognized for his 'swordsman genes' in 2520, at the age of 30, and given his own personal energy sword, becoming an aristocrat and taking the suffix '-ai'. He continued training members of his keep in swordplay until the first contact with humanity in 2525, at which point he joined the military.

Skills and Abilities
As an aristocrat, Jusan's skills with an energy sword are, unsurprisingly, extremely developed. In fact, he was practically a perfect swordsman by a young age, achieving his aristocratic position before even joining the military, and having served as an instructor for several years before even that. However, this is not to say he isn't skilled in other areas, such as combat, leadership, and stealth.
