After the Hierarchs betrayed the sangheili and ordered their purge at the hands of the jiralhanae, leading to the Great Schism, Resa 'Azavayl led a group of Silent Shadow became bent on exterminating all jiralhanae they could find, including forces in their command. This led them to wipe out an entire jiralhanae pack in the fourth moon of Victor's Truth, forces aboard the SDV-class heavy corvette Adherent, as well as multiple forces on Thalia and Sansar, alongside the last remaining forces loyal to Chieftain Tartarus aboard Rapid Conversion.

During one of their assassinations, the Silent Shadow sought to eliminate all jiralhanae aboard the corvette Elegy's Lament, but unknown to them, it was a ship of the Banished, led by its commander, Atriox. After they entered the corvette, the sangheili warriors killed many jiralhanae and unggoy soldiers, entering the bridge cloaked, but despite this they were still detected by Atriox, who sensed their smell. Atriox revealed to the sangheili that he was different from other members of his race, and that he and his pack had not betrayed the sangheili, wanting to include them in his Banished, offering them a place. Despite the Silent Shadow attempting to convince Resa that Atriox was different, he was filled with hatred and attempted to kill the Chieftain, only be to repeatedly stabbed and killed by his subordinates, who wanted to join the Banished.
