Ardo 'Moretumee (Earth-5875)

General Ardo 'Moretumee was the Shipmaster of the Ardent Prayer, a SDV-class heavy corvette in the Fleet of Valiant Prudence.

Early Life
Through incessant work as a cunning military leader in the Covenant, Ardo 'Moretumee was able to ascend ranks within the Ministry of Fervent Intercession, eventually becoming a Shipmaster and being attached to the SDV-class heavy corvette Ardent Prayer. He was widely known for being silent, and his martial skills were nearly unmatched. His clan held some power within the Covenant High Council, which led to 'Moretumee becoming as arrogant as he was invaluable. His ship was ultimately attached to the Fleet of Valiant Prudence under the command of Fleetmaster Rho 'Baratumee, a fleet which was tasked with the discovery, research, and retrieval of Forerunner artifacts through the galaxy.

Fall of Reach
On July 23rd, 2552, the Fleet of Valiant Prudence arrived on Reach, the biggest and most powerful human colony. For the next weeks, the Fleet fought against the forces of the UNSC Navy. After the UNSC discovered about 'Baratumee's flagship, the CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace, NOBLE Team sub-commander Kat-B320 devised Operation UPPER CUT, which sought to destroy the Solace using an improvised bomb of slipspace.

To achieve their goals, Jorge-052 and David-B312, alongside a series of YSS-1000 Sabre pilots breached the Ardent Prayer, as they wanted to use it so provoke a reaction that would destroy the Solace. As the team stormed through the ship, they finally arrived at the bridge, where 'Moretumee was alongside his high-ranking soldiers. Even though they attempted to defend the ship, they were unmatched by the task force, and were all killed, Ardo included. The operation was later a narrow success.
