Bero 'Kusovai (Earth-5875)

"I apologize for injuring you, Commander. In the future I will handle my blade with more skill."

- - Bero 'Kusovai to Rtas 'Vadumee

Bero 'Kusovai was a Special Operations sangheili warrior with great prowess and skill using a Type-1 energy sword.

Early life
Bero 'Kusovai was an apt swordsman, which earned him the "-ai" suffix at the end of his name. After becoming blooded, he joined the Covenant Armada and later the Covenant Special Operations. There, he would often engage in practice duels against Special Operations Commander Rtas 'Vadumee.

Skirmish on the Infinite Succor
Under 'Vadumee, 'Kusovai joined the group sent by Fleetmaster Thel 'Vadamee to board the Infinite Succor during the Battle of Installation 04, after the complete loss of contact with the ship. After heading to the ship's hunting preserve, the group was attacked by xenomorphs resembling the animals held for consumption, leading them to fight their way to the bridge of the vessel, where they found all controls disabled.

'Kusovai was eventually attacked and impregnated by a Facehugger, which killed him and spawned a Lurker that battled against the uninpregnated 'Vadumee. The xenomorphs and its Proto-Keymind were almost able to perform a slipspace jump out of the Soell system, intending on spreading through the galaxy, but Rtas was able to change its course so it flew towards Soell itself. During his fight against the Lurker, 'Vadumee was injured by the xenomorph's tail, which tore off his left mandibles. He then killed the Lurker and fled from the Succor as it jumped to slipspace.
