Editing The Banished (section)

== History: ==
[[File:HLC Atriox.png|thumb|King of the Kongs.]]

A Brute-dominated Covenant rebel group started by Atriox, a Brute Chieftain who was done with the Covenants shit, and not being respected as the epic monke he is. Slavery and unwilling members don't exist in the Banished, as Atriox only lets people who want to join the Banished actualy join them (Grunts notwithstanding), as it was being forced into wars he did not care about that caused him to rebel from the Covenant. The Banished work as Mercenaries, and actually get paid for killing people, instead of just being told to believe in some "Great Journey" and that being their pay.

Atriox gladly works alongside a virgin Elite Shipmaster, Let 'Volir, because Atriox considers the Brute Vs. Elite Race-War a pointless waste of time, BUT, he is still totally ok with wiping out peaceful Human scientists on the Ark because, even in a pragmatic Mercenary militia that managed to survive the Covenant, the Xeno anti-Human hate-boner still reigns supreme. 

The Banished were able to effortlessly outlive the Covenant, a vast, multi-species, advanced version of the Imperium of Man, but when they try to take over the Ark and use it as a superweapon to ransom the Galaxy into their control, a single Human Warship known as the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' that has been drifting in space for 23 years AND has half of its crew killed by Flood and Covvies back in the day gives the Banished a run for their money, and they are able to curbstomp them to the point that the Humans managed to create a new HALO and intend to summon UNSC reinforcements to it. (Assuming Cortana doesn't fuck up that plan, like everything else).

Meanwhile, back on the Ark, two Brute battle-brothers named Pavium and Voridus were reckless enough to release the Flood from the contained wreckage of High-Charity, the once flood-infested capital ship of the Covenant (Master Chief blew that thing up, killing most of the flood there, but whatever). Though, to be fair, Voridus was already established as a reckless warrior who brazenly dismissed the "myth" of the Flood against his brother's counsel.  So not only is the Banished struggling against a UNSC ship they probably could have negotiated with if they resisted their Human hate-boner, they now have to deal with the Flood on the Ark.

Much later, the Banished somehow managed to take out many other UNSC ships and made their way to Zeta Halo, also known as Installation 07. A Banished Brute soldier known as "Craig" was also killed by Master Chief there, but trust me, he wanted a way out.

(additional story info will be written here once Halo Infinite is released)
