Maw (Earth-5875)

"Maw" was a jiralhanae Chieftain who led a group of unggoy and kig-yar on the Covenant colony Heian.

Biography
During one night, Maw was patrolling a field on Heian and overseeing his unggoy and kig-yar warriors, as he noticed a meteor shower, ultimately brushing it as nothing of importance. However, a team of ODSTs, alongside the SPARTAN-II Cal-141, were hidden among the shower. In the following morning, the Chieftain was able to ambush Blake O'Brien, one of the ODSTs, as he killed the last of his unggoy soldiers. However, before he could hit the human with his gravity hammer, he was stopped by Cal. A bloody battle occurred, and the Chieftain's right eye was destroyed after the SPARTAN gave it a powerful punch, sending him down a nearby large waterfall to his presumed death.

In fact surviving, Maw located the humans as they prepared to assassinate a san'shyuum Minister in charge of the planet's food supply. He attempted to kill O'Brien once again, before Cal pushed him and took a blow from the hammer on her head. After mortally wounding the SPARTAN, the Chieftain was tackled with the combined strength of O'Brien, Kalob Cortez and Taylor "Dutch" Miles, the latter who fired countless magnetizes of his M7S submachine gun, instantly killing Maw.

Equipment
The Chieftain wore a strong power armor and used a gravity hammer in battle.
