Decimus (Earth-4001)

Decimus is a Jiralhanae warrior who founded the Banished alongside Atriox when the two of them and several other Jiralhanae rebelled against the Covenant Executioner. Decimus had been serving as Atriox's right hand ever since and was a general in the Banished.

History
The history of Decimus is the same as his mainstream counterpart up until the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2553.

Personality
Decimus is ruthless and extremely bloodthirsty, boasting almost unparalleled, raw physical strength. Fighting for the glory to kill, Decimus is considered to be the embodiment of every horror story that has been passed around through the UNSC Marine Corps about battling Jiralhanae. When he served the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War, he took particular delight in hand-to-hand combat with the outmatched soldiers of the United Nations Space Command. Decimus respects strength above all else and holds the traditional Jiralhanae belief that "might makes right;" Atriox gained Decimus' absolute loyalty after he successfully rebelled against the Covenant, becoming known as his right hand. As befitting his rank, Decimus has his own personal Jiralhanae Warlord lieutenants, but he also relishes the chance to make a personal appearance on the field against particularly stubborn enemies. Decimus' bloodlust often whipped troops under his command into a frenzied rampage. While the Jiralhanae who make up Atriox's Chosen share their leader's cunning, Decimus encourages more base traits in his warriors, chief among which is the unquenchable thirst for blood.

Decimus still harbors resentment against the Sangheili that serve the Banished due to how they treated the Jiralhanae in the Covenant. As such, Decimus takes a sadistic joy in ordering the Sangheili of the Banished on dangerous, and often suicidal, missions. Like Atriox, Decimus despises the Covenant and its remnants. Unlike many in the Banished, Decimus secretly continues to harbor a belief in the divinity of the Forerunners.

Equipment
Decimus wears a powered exoskeleton into battle. This exoskeleton increases his strength and grants him a great deal of protection from weaponry. Decimus wields a modified gravity hammer that could be used to pull vehicles and infantry toward him so he could then smash them, in addition to unleashing a devastating gravity vortex.
