Nusra 'Nagon

Personality
Nusra is a ruthless, cunning, and extremely resourceful character. Not only is he byzantine and manipulative, he is subtle. Nusra is very deceptive and manipulative of others and has very few inhibitions when it comes to warfare as shown by his involvement with Operation Hallowed Night, the modus operadi of the Red Sons, and his own use of chemical enhancements. He holds nothing sacred and yet has forged such a loyal following. In fact the vast majority of the Red Son's operations are merely a smokescreen for his political maneuvers.

He once fought for the Covenant as a loyal soldier, a cool headed and clear minded commander with a dash of cunning and scheming. He was very intelligent and every decision is thoroughly planned before hand and that's why he was brought aboard for Hallowed Night's many battles against the Demons. His many battles with the SPARTANs left him with a deep grudge against their kind and a strong drive to exterminate them. Nusra's hatred for humanity does not focus solely on SPARTANs and encompasses their whole race. But it was his own lack of inhibitions brought his undoing. For numerous crimes he was imprisoned until he was eventually broken out. Since then he became disillusioned with his people has developed a seething hatred for those who he believes are took weak to protect Sanghelios, such as the Arbiter and his loyalists who want peace.

Underneath his schemes and terrible machinations, what Nusra wants is for the Sangheili to be proud and strong again. He sees humanity as it's greatest opponent and to ally with them is a terrible mistake. He sees the current Sangheili as weakened and divided while humanity surges back to power. He believes that the war must continue to finish what they started and finally exterminate their enemy. With humanity out of the way then the Sangheili would take their place as the dominant race in the galaxy and prosper. To him had the Arbiter not folded in desperation and weakness then the Sangheili would not be fracturing as they are.

Traits
Though as a former Spec Ops he is trained in the use of nearly all weapons, Nusra prefers to let armies and strategy to most of the work. But to believe that Nusra is weak in person is a mistake as he is lethal in a fight. He is an accomplished swordsman in his own right but abstains from direct engagements. Instead he fights like an assassin, silent and lethal. His strength is only magnified by his use of augmenting chemicals which have enhanced his reaction time and perception, something he does not reveal to his enemies. Whatever the situation Nusra always has another level to his plans and a contingency for whatever predicament he is in.

Despite his cunning and resourcefulness, Nusra has let slip an achilles heel or two. While a dangerous killer and a cunning leader, he is an egocentric and every decision he makes is meant solely to benefit himself and his cause. While cool headed he is also not without pride and is not unflappable. These gaps in his preverbal armor have nearly resulted in his demise several times.

Blade Style
His fighting style is also just as efficient and underhanded as he is. He uses surprise and feints to gain the advantage by deactivating his blade at times to trick opponents and cross the distance between them.
