Fal 'Chavamee (Earth-5875)

"I know they will come in force to challenge me, but I will not turn away from them. I will answer their call."

- - Fal 'Chavamee to Roh 'Chavamee

Fal 'Chavamee was a legendary Arbiter of the Covenant and Kaidon of Clan Chava in the 13th century. While he was a strong, resilient and charismatic leader even outside of his clan, his atheism towards the Path and the Great Journey led to his condemnation by the Covenant as a heretic, and eventually the downfall of the honorable title of Arbiter to a mark of shame.

The Arbiter
As a great and nearly undefeatable warrior, Fal 'Chavamee reached the title of Arbiter and kaidon of his clan,Chava, who sat at the state of Chava, on Sanghelios. He eventually married Han 'Chava, and together they ruled their kin with pride and vigilance. As the Arbiter, he also held considerable power and influence within the Covenant Armada, with the warriors serving under him seeing him as a father figure, ready to lead them to glorious battles. However, his time serving under the Covenant led Fal to believe the sangheili had strayed away from their traditional sense of honor, and were fighting only for power and supremacy. He also came to believe that the Path and its promise of the Great Journey were false, lies build by the san'shyuum to hold power over the sangheili, despite their official stance of holding the same power within the Covenant empire. This led the Prophet of Vigilance to demand a summit with 'Chavamee, professing faith towards the Journey. The Hierarch's plea fell into deaf ears, and the Arbiter shouted the Great Journey was a lie. Shocked and revulsed, the Prophet of Vigilance declared the Arbiter a heretic.
