Biography
During the initial stages of the Shanxi Campaign, Re'gish Wamik commanded a legion of warriors under the command of Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee after discovering the forerunner Derelict.

Upon arriving on the forerunner shield world Etran Harborage, he sent a message detailing the feat to the Prophet of Regret in the hopes of gaining recognition. The Hierarch noted that 'Moramee should explore and open the Derelict so the Covenant could find the forerunner treasures contained within it. Unknown to them, numerous Ovomorphs were living within it, and once the soldiers of Wamik found them, they were attacked by Facehuggers and impregnated with Chesbusters. Despite Re'gish's pleas to contain the threat for the safety of their own troops, the Arbiter carelessly responded "I care little for your pathetic life!" The subsequent catastrophe was the spread of the xenomorphs, who were secretly able to form a Keymind and infect both the Covenant and the humans of the UNSC Spirit of Fire.

Wamik was one of the only survivors of the battle, having escorted the Prophet of Regret in the CPV-class heavy destroyer Proclamation's Tithe by the jiralhanae Chieftain Thrallslayer, who wished to gain all the recognition for him own. Ironically, this led to the survival of Wamik and the deaths of both Thrallslayer and 'Moramee at the hands of humanity and the xenomorphs. He was still alive after the end of the First Contact War, and was considered dangerous by the UNSC. The Office of Naval Intelligence designers for War Games created a simulation based on him for N7 SPARTANs to combat.
