Kavan 'Davil

Fleet master Kavan 'Davil (or Kavan 'Davilee) is the fleet master of Earnest Devotion, member of the Devoted Sentries and a zealot in the Swords of Sanghelios.

Early life:
Kavan was born Kavan "Davil to the Kavan family, a lesser important family in the state of Vadam. Kavan spent his youth obsessed with the Covenant Navy collecting and building models especially the CAS and CCS class ships. Later on in his teen hood he graduated from various naval academies studying naval strategy in his free time.

Naval academy:
Once Kavan was the youngest legal age he immediately jumped at the opportunity to join a high-end Covenant Naval Academy. Kavan spent all of his savings on Books, Dorms and classes often falling asleep while staying up very late to study somthing through instructors took note as it showed his determination. Kavan however was unpopular with a large amount of the fellow students being sent from battle hardened units who wanted to take on naval leader hip role. Because of this kavan was picked on and slightly bullied making his senior year a living hell. But Kavan graduated top of his class And a position in the navy.

Early Career:
In 2540 Kavan after graduating he enlisted in the Covenant Navy serving on the the SDVclass heavy corvette "Sacred Canonical" spending the next few years Kavan rose up the chain of command obtaining the rank of ship master where he commanded his flagship he used for the rest of his career the CCS class battle cruiser "Silent Rapture". later on joining the sub fleet "Devout earnest" which is part of Supreme Commander Thel 'Vedamee's "Fleet of Particular Justice". Kavan 'Davelee was responsible for the glassing of several human planets including Estuary, Nesa, Graydowns, Kroedis 2, Alluvion, Bounty and most importantly Reach.

Secret heresy

ONI Boarding attempt:
During the invastion of Nesa the UNSC Navy and ONI tried to turn the tide of the space battle and possibly save the planet by capturing and destroying any covenant ship. The Ship they went for was Kavan's ship the Silent Rapture which despite the defensive fire and sharp turns didn't evade a small scale nuclear weapon which blew off the hanger bay door as well as diabiling the shields. Kavan mobilized the ships crew to defend the ship from the Pelicans who quckly took over the hanger drooping of Marines, ODSTs and ONI Agents. For the next hour the ship erupted in close combat as the agents stormed the bridge after blowing up the locked door, Kavan was carving a CAS carrier out of wood on his command chair before the only agents could open fire Kavan activated his active camouflage and placed his model on the chair. a marine walked over and picked it up only to be stabbed in the back by Kavan who ripped the model from his hands and placed it back down. he then fired his concussion rifle at the agents stunning one and sticking him with a plasma grenade. despite the agents supriour numbers Kavan slaughtered them with his energy sword then walked towards the hanger slashing any human in sight. at the same time Kavan's crew pushed the UNSC boarding party back to the hanger. A few moments later another CCS battlecrusier moved above the UNSC cruiser destroying it with its glassing beam. Kavan then murdered the Marines and most if the remaining ONi agents but one, who he interrogated harshly. afterwords he ordered his Spec ops Elites to drop him on the planet below so he could spread his name to ONI. Later on ONI learned of the failed boarding action and Ship master Kavan Devil which they decided that Kavan was a potential threat after Supreme Commader Thel Vadam and ordered a warrant for his assassination a warrant which still persisted post war.

Fall of Reach:
Reach a critical planet needed for the training of Spartans, a fact understood by Kavan which is why he made its glassing the highlight of his career. however the strictly naval ship master had received orders from Supreme Commander Rho 'Barutamee to temporally join his devoted sentries team of Zealots. he accepted and transferred to a ship hes been idolizing for years the CSO Class Super carrier "The Long night of solace" which managed to infiltrate the plants atmosphere undetected and unseen. Kavan helped over see the establishing beach head of with anti air batteries surrounding the perimeter of their staging area. With several Spires, the Covenant covertly inserted massive invasion armies, including several Corvettes. Afterwords the devoted sentries was sent to investigate the rumor of forerunner artifacts along with deactivating the relay station at Visegrád.

Encounter with Noble team:
"These demons are in clusters now. Once I'm done, there will not be a inch where they can fester."

- Kavan's thoughts on Noble team.

Winter Contingency:
As a member of the devoted sentries Kavan was sent to disable the Visegrád communication outpostthis would significantly hinder human communications. the group was mostly successful until the lesser elites reported Nobel team was approaching soon. Kavan searched as many data banks as he could discovering the presence of forerunner artifacts. However the team had to hid as Nobel team arrived only to launch a surprise attack, after the field marshal knocked over Nobel 6 Kavan tried to pick him up and stab him only to have his energy sword kicked away and being punched in the face. Kavan roared at Noble 6 but was knocked to the ground by the other Nobels and scampered away before could fully deplete his shields. The only Zealots that escaped the skirmish alive were the leader of the team, a elite Field Marshal and Kavan.

Long night of solace:
"Vile Demons! That ship was a godly peace of art and you destroyed it. I will personally destroy every ship you own in atmosphere!"

- Kavan upon seeing the Solace's destruction.

Kavan was on the ground helping to organise a upcoming assault on New Alexandra when he heard a defying boom as he look at the sky, in horror he watched as the Long night of solace fell to the ground in 2 massive species. This made Kavan blood boil and nearly launched the assault early when the Silent Rapture arrived with the rest of the fleet as planed. Kavan's personal Type 52 Phantom transported him to the SDV class heavy corvette the "Godly orthodox" which started moving towards the city signaling the attack beginning. However Kavan's plan would once again face trouble in the form of Nobel 6 and the stupid brutes.

Exodus:
"I see why it's a called Reach's crown jewel, shame i have to glass it although i'll make a model of it soon as a tribute""

- Kavan 'Davil

The opening assault on the city was going very well the corvettes rained down deadly plama as the infantry went from door to door taking every building, Kavan although being enraged maintained his goal of taking the city with minimal troops and managed to inflect heavy casualties on the Marines crushing there defenses. However a Brute war chieftain and his forces quickly move in Kavan was confused but remained calm as he then focused his troops on support instead of offense. moments later Kavan was contacted by his boss a Fleet master informing him that the brutes have taken total control over the situation and Kavan could focus his efforts in other campaigns but Kavan turned down he offer but relaxing his influence over the battle instead monitoring communications while painting a CAS model.

The battle went incredibly well for the covenant until the arrival of Nobel 6 who quickly turned the tide of the brute assault by massacring the infantry and evacuating civilians. Kavan immediately took notice and ordered Banshies to target him however the Brute war chieftain over ruled his orders making him powerless. kavan slightly angry ordered his corvettes to move away from the city with the exception of his only because Kavan wanted to use its firepower to hinder Noble 6. A plan that quickly fell apart as the missiles fired from Anti Aircraft missile battery open fire damaging the Godly Orthodox's hull forcing him to retreat. Kavan swore revenge on Nobel 6 his new and first unknowing rival.

Lone wolf:
"Time to end my rival the sixth demon, once and for all""

- Kavan 'Davil Since the pillar of Autumn departure Kavan and his hunting squad tracked Nobel 6 until he came across abandoned outpost which just the location needed for Kavan's plan. It's a dry desert with mostly small hills, a place where no demon could hide other evade detection. Kavan positioned the Silent Rapture so there is could very rapidly deploy and recover dropships which ensured that Noble 6 you be overwhelmed by lesser infantry. Not surprisingly the grunts and lower elites didn't stop Nobel 6 so Kavan personally boarded a spirt dropship that carried the final wave of Kavan's best elites. Kavan watched as disappointingly his Ultra and General falling followed up by Major and Minor. A Ultra did manage to knock over Nobel 6 which Kavan exploited by running over with his energy sword ready but Nobel 6 nocked it away and kicked the Ultra causing him to stumble. The Ultra quickly recovered and tried to stab but got hit in the throat by Nobel 6's combat knife killing the Ultra instantly. In that exact moment Kavan was all terrified and instinctively activated his energy dagger from his wrists and jabbed one right into Nobel 6's heart followed up by 2 additional stabs to each lung. Kavan stumbled back overtaken but shock and disbelief as Nobel 6 bleed out from his collapsed lungs and heart. A few seconds later when Nobel 6 died the field marshal near by congratulated Kavan on killing his rival, but Kavan said nothing and silently walked back to a sprit dropship and head back to the Silent Rapture which meet up with fleet of devout earnest which along side the fleet of Particular Justice as it chased down the Pillar of Autumn.

Promotion to Fleet Master:
Kavan put on his new gold and gray zealot armour then sat on his personal chair in his quarters carving a block of wood to the shape of Nobel 6 when he got a message from Supreme Commander Thel Vadam congratulating him instead of paying attention he added more details to the model, a few minutes later he put away the model and checked the email, his dull eyes once again little up as he was promoted to Fleet Master and instantly became overcame with joy but it slowly faded as he painted the Nobel 6 model. A few moments later he placed it in his display case finally coming to terms with the previous events on reach and walked to bridge where he took command over his sub fleet as it's new fleet master. Kavan sat in his command chair and watched as the fleet stumble upon installation 04 the halo ring.

Battle of installation 04:
""By the forerunners! Is that - it is one of the sacred rings!""

- Kavan, upon seeing installation 04.

Truth and Reconciliation
Since the Silent Rapture's glassing beam was disabled as well as other damaged systems Kavan decided to reduce his flagship to a supporting role, taking on command of the Truth and Reconciliation and it's efforts to build a ground base. The construction and defensive installations were going according to plan until Kavan received a report on the master chief and Marines storming the outer defenses which Kavan responded to by preparing the ship for boarding and readying himself with an energy sword. Master chef fought his way towards Kavan was ready to fight Master chief when the Truth and Reconciliation's Ship master Lat 'Ravamee told Kavan that he'll handle master chief and a high ranking Zealot should leave the ship and live. Kavan nodded and wished Lat the best of luck then ran towards to hanger bay. Upon entering the hanger a group of Marines who just killed all the grunts defending the hanger, Kavan used his active camouflage to get behind the Marines then stabbed them with his energy sword but before he could board a Banshee he was almost killed a by a ODST sniper who took out his shields and barely missed his head. Kavan used his concussion rifle to disrupt there focus and sticking one on the leg with a plasma grenade. Kavan ran into a hallway and headed to the balcony above killing 2 of the ODSTs before charging the ODST sniper slicing off his arm then decapitating him. Kavan turned around to see more Marines with master chief running towards a Sprit dropship, Kavan tried to hit them with his concussion rifle but missed so he charged master chef who just entered the sprite this caused kavan to miss his sword strike and fall of the balcony landing on a storage create. the sprite drop ship piloted by captain keyes crushed 2 hunters and flew off as Kavan limped to a Phantom instead and flew back to the Silent Rapture there he learnt that Master chief killed Lat Ravamee and crippled his ship. Kavan angered went to the medical bay and told the Covert reverent to meet with him.

The Maw:
"You are my best elites together we'll be able to stop the demon and the rings destruction" Kavan was determined to end master chief like he did with Nobel 6 but instead of a hunting team he had his Spec Ops with him as well as grunts and hunters. Kavan's personal Phantom arrived at the Pillar of Autumn quickly dropping kavans squad off and waited near the battlefield for a quick evacuation. The group fought the flood and entered the Pillar of Autumn looking for its reactor to do this Kavan group split into 2 teams with one headed to the bridge with Kavan's headed towards the reactor however Kavans group was bogged down by the flood and sentinels which he would let kill each other before mopping up the victor and move onward but the operation quickly fell apart as the first squad was killed by master chef. Kavan decided the mission was hopeless and ordered the remaining troops to evacuate. however only Kavan made it out with the rest being killed or too busy fighting, Kavan arrived at the evacuation point and waited for his phantom. Thankfully Kavan's personal phantom arrived just in time and picked both of them up with a few spec ops elites also surviving, the phantom quickly flew to the silent rapture where Kavan decided to spare Johnson and let him take a long sword fighter and leave unharmed. shortly after Kavan received a message from Supreme Commander Thel Vadam.

Aftermath
"I don't mean to be a heretic or doubt our leader, but i would have personally glassed the sacred ring the parasites infested it."

- Kavan, on the aftermath of installation 04. After a quick nap kavan was overwhelmed with stress and fear about losing his title, honor and life 3 things that were most valuable to him, after a shower and putting his armour on he went to the bridge and commanded the sub fleet of devour earnest, Kavan tried to relax in his command chair but he was shaking a bit and sweating but as the fleet exited slip space and approached high charity the sight shook kavan to the core with worry. he revived a message to meet in a hanger as a large group of phantoms dropped off a brand new armour that was ready for main stream use. Kavan slowly made his way towards the hanger where elites were off loading a large create from a phantom. A Elite Minor walked over and handed Kavan a small highly impressive box, Kavan thanked him and went to his private quarters and opened it inside was a golden Minor armour with minimal differences this pissed of Kavan servery since he absolutely adored and loved his red and gold with gray zealot armours and now hes reduced to a shiny yellow minor. after some grumbling he took of his gold and gray zealot armour and put of the golden combat armour with the cape on his back. Kavan placed his 2 Zealot armours in a display case and headed back to the hanger where his personal phantom was ready to take him to high charity for his and Thel 'Vadamee's Trials.

Trial of Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee
Kavan was present for the trial

Trial of Fleet Master Kavan 'Devilee
After Supreme Commader Thel 'Vadamee was striped of his rank and honor Kavan was next on the list with him nervously standing before the high profits who were still displeased and judgmental along with the agery council

Fallout:
"Ya know, For a prophet named Truth he really loves to lie"

- Kavan on the Prophet of Truth

Changing of the guard:
"By the rings, these brutes couldn't beat a grunt at tick tak toe let alone command ships, this will be the Covenants undoing."

- Kavan on the changing of the guard

After the assassination of the High Prophet of Regret by John-117, the remaining two Hierarchs (Truth & Mercy) claimed that the elites were no longer capable of protecting the Hierarchs and subsequently reassigned the Sangheili honor guards, replacing them instead with Brute honor guards. This directly pissed Kavan off having and further grew the doubt in his mind about the validity of the Covenant religions and the Great journey. However the biggest anger inducing possibility was the state of his rank, he at any moment could be replaced by a brute his life work discarded by truth.

The battle of earth:
On earth Kavan meet up with elite forces as they fought the flood in Africa and helped in kicking the remaining covenant off the planet, afterword's Kavan talked to the high ranking elites in the swords of sangheilios and was able to resume his role as a zealot and after the meeting a aboard the shadow of intent the elites and UNSC swapped weapons Kavan traded his Concussion rifle for a M-319 Grenade launcher which he found to be very deadly.

The Battle of the Ark:
During the battle of the Ark Kavan first help direct the elite ships into formation then joined the battle on the planet below where he was tasked with destroying any obstacles that might hinder the master chief and arbiter. When Kavan heard of truths death he let out a roar and finished his mission with joy and after the battle he suggested having a celebration however it was turned down.

is a zealot in the swords of sangheilios, Kavan was a zealot in the Covenant and fought in some of the toughest battles in the beginning. Kavan over time gave the UNSC respect for their furious tactics and to better understand the UNSC Kavan collected their dog tags as trophies and secretly learned English. Kavan was one of the first zealots to attack the planet reach, Kavan fought though and the humans deference and as soon as the covenant began to take over reach Kavan began looking for anything of value however he only got a small portion of the planet's prized items which enraged him and caused him to become suspicious of the profits. After reach Kavan began increasingly angry with the profits stupidity and contemplated committing hericy but when the elites were replaced with the brutes Kavan lost his shit and yelled at the profits declaring his hatred and his sympathies and then left the covenant.

Afterword's Kavan looked for a way to destroy the covenant Kavan made the only choice he could make he tried to contact the UNSC but he didn't most likely they would integrate him and then kill him so instead kavan kept his distance from the war but close enough to rejoin at a moments notice.

After the war sKavan stayed with the swords of sangheilios and helped fight the covenant forces that remained.

Appearance:
"Yes im an Albino with red eyes. can get on with the mission now?" - Kavan talking to a Marine who is staring at him

Cape:
""What's with the cape?"
 * "Many great Elites wore capes, i merely want to follow in their footsteps. ""

- Kavan, on his cape.

Unlike Supreme commander Thel 'Vandamee who wore his cape to remind himself hes always vulnerable Kavan wears a cape as a tribute, a tribute to Thel and other supreme commanders who are idols and his bosses. The cape reminds Kavan of the possibility of becoming one of the greats so he keeps calm and his knowledge sharp so he maintains his reputation. Originally Kavan's cape was just a silk purple with a smooth and very soft in texture kavan has almost fell asleep a few times because of this, also more thicker bullet and resistant fabrics were mixed in with the silk to provide more protection. After the Human-Covenant war Kavan further increased the capes thickness with more weapons grade fabrics and printed the swords of sangheilios logo in it to represent his undying loyalty to the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam.
