In Halo 2, the Arbiter’s first mission as the personal blade of the Prophets was to silence a Heretic and his followers, however their words of heresy were, in fact, words of truth, spoken as a consequence of their betrayal by the Covenant, and words that would inspire them to release the horror of the Flood to prevent their silencing. Today, we’re taking a look at the Tragic Tale of the Heretic Leader - how he was Betrayed by the Covenant, and how he weaponised the Flood to try and stop the Arbiter and his warriors from silencing his heresy…

I am a huge fan of you. My channel is small, only 5 subscribers, but it was inspired through you.
Keep calm and stay away from people infected by covid (flood).
We love your lit vids
Ngl I would’ve loved to see the heretic faction again. The arbiter realising the Heretic leader was right and teaming up with him
Honestly a short series of official 'What If' scenarios would be super cool, maybe one day!
@@HiddenXperia A 'what if' scenario I'd like to see, is if John didn't become Master Chief. Who would have filled that role in the Human-Covenant war in this timeline. Some interesting dynamics could be made I think.
I like that too. My 'what if' scenario would be if Noble 6 managed to be with Keyes and the Pillar of Autumn crew with the Master Chief? After learning Reach and how it happened to the Combat Evolved timeline, I thought it would be cool to see two hyper lethal vectors kicking ass together? Damn.
Well, we could've, if we didn't kill the leader and slaughtered a bunch of his troops

I like how when Thel tries to convince Tartarus that the Rings were a lie, mirrors the same when 'Refumee attempts to convince Thel that it was all a lie.
RealIronsquid 1 it’s like poetry it rhymes
I think while Tartarus might have known about the truth of the rings, he probably didn't really care to stop his plans because he was deadset on going through with the "Great Journey"
Tartarus wasnt bad, he was blinded
Theybandaba. It seemed to me that he cared more about the social status of the brutes than the Great Journey.

Stfu cheif
Where it so easy.... oh wait that isn't my quote
You've heard of *"Task Failed Successfully"* . But Sesa experienced a *"Tragic Victory"* .
By failing to kill Thel, he died believing his efforts to expose the truth were in vain. Little did he know the influence his own words would have once the great schism occured, a war he never got to see.
( O_〉O)? Cue red vs blue church’s final scene.
Our victory, his victory was so close I wish he could've lived to see it..
He would be proud
Artiox actually won that one, think about it there's no covenant at a large salvage site, but a mining ship. Then a guy starts calling the prophets lairs, right near someplace he might want to vist, he had an oracle too.
The arbiter didn't need to make that milk run with tartarus over his back. He was bait, an arbiter, a salvage, an oracle, and a heretic all in one valued mining station.
Artiox would've kill the arbiter and got killed by tartarus, the arbiter would be a hero as he "killed Artiox"but died of his wounds and they would've had a needed victory.
Artiox saw it as a trap but let it play out and took down the covenant.
@@nothuman3083 is there any shred of proof that backs up that claim
Instead of turning arbiter to his side instead he just turned into a mustache twirling villain because REASONS
Cos muh boss fight.
Hey vader. Haven’t seen you in sometime
I mean, he had pretty good cause to believe the Arbiter, the Hand of the Prophets, might not listen to reason, blinded by faith and a lust for restoring what little honor he could. The Arbiter stopped to listen to Spark, but we don’t know that he would have listened, seeing as his faith was still quite strong. Sesa wasn’t going to take that chance.
Sylva Silva. And the whole encounter with the gravemind EXACTLY confirms what you wrote. “If you will not hear the truth, then I will show it to you”. Because he was still too blinded by faith in the prophets.
This channel does not exist. Righto! You hit the nail on the head; thanks for the backup!
I find it interesting how such a minor character/faction in the game can have some interesting lore behind them
And also to have such a great influence in the events to come.
Speaking of super minor characters having lore behind them, there was a single elite that actually hunted Master Chief during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved from start to finish.

Lol I like when he just starts blasting the arbiter just as he tells the arbiter to ask the oracle a question
The sarcastic raptor is no longer blind, for I have helped him see
Fun fact: The Heretics were originally going to all be Hunters, making them teaming up with you at the end of the game something of a redemption for Arbiter's character after what he had done, but the idea was quickly scrapped after a big argument where Bungie employees called each other insane for trying to make a level where you only fought hunters.

“I’m beginning to think you’re not very smart”
“Oh I didn’t mean offense, I meant your entire race” - 343 guilty spark
God dang, Sesa Refume was really a cool elite, I love his role in Halo 2 and the heretic armor in general is just awesome
I do find that seemingly simple line of "the humans would have good cause to shoot us on sight," rather compelling as it shows respect enough for the race to realize just how much they had been wronged by this holy war now revealed as based on a lie thus rendering it all honorless and ignoble as wells as also implies an almost longing to somehow aid the humans in reparation were it only possible.
For sure. It's sad too, because I thought to myself "what if Sesa contacted the humans, and told them he now knows the truth, that he wanted to stop the Prophets?" It really could go either way. ONI may turn him into an asset, or just order a hit.
But more importantly, even if higher ups ordered a cease fire, the typical crewman and marine would have every right to enact vengeance, as short sighted as it would be.
Or what if Johnson and chief didn’t capture the covenant cruser and had to go to the gas giant to escape. By the time they would have made it their guilty sparks would have already started informing them of the lie of the covenant. Then add in chief’s, Johnson and cortanas information as well on the flood, ring and guilty sparks. And this would have become vary interesting vary quickly. Especially since now they can try to contact humanity using cortana. They wouldn’t have been stranded anymore and could start spreading the truth
Guilty sparks would still be an issue thou
@@kevind3974 not really, with Installation 04 in it's current state, Guilty Spark's protocols only leave one command for him to follow, assist any and all Reclaimers... also the command to assist in containing flood outbreaks so compound those together and you get Spark working as a great asset to Chief and Cortana
Teh Spearhead said in a livestream that he likes your cooking.
Spearhead knows what's up when it comes to food! I'm smoking a brisket this week and I'm already salivating lol

Eyyyyh!
Two ODST related questions:
1. Did the ODSTs you play as in Halo 3 ODST (Alpha Team) know about the Flood's existence by the time that game took place?
2. When you're playing as an ODST, your hand flashes and sparks when you get hit as if you have energy shields, but ODSTs were not issued with them. Why is this? Could it be a design oversight?
probably just gameplay mechanics from halo 3 that were used
Reused assets im guessing
I doubt alpha squad were aware off the flood
actually there is a line in which one of the odsts(forgot who) tells you that he is not infected with the flood and that was just a known disease in family
it happens if you stare at them too much
also i think it was with buck
Dare may have known about the Flood, but likely the team had no knowledge of them still.
“Unfortunate. His edification was most enjoyable”

After learning of the truth of the Heretic leader, in Truth I felt bad about killing him on future playthroughs. Such a tragic end to a victim of his own unfortunate lies told to him
Its interesting how a lot of Ironic situations in halos lore actually lead to a better out come in the galaxy. The Swords of Sanghelios were created to challenge the arbiters rule to keep him in check to prevent him from having absolute power. Yet Thel Vadam the current arbiter is the leader of the current swords of Sanghelios but is the fit arbiter to lead it because he is no longer blind to the reality of halo and the galaxy. Also by fighting along humanity he has realized that their is more to honour than dying in battle or an over whelming victory. That honour is fighting for a good cause, to protect your fellow soldier and to carry on the legacy and memory of your brothers in arms.
That it took a heretic to start the seeds of truth and to challenge the profits lies. Yet it was the Gravemind the ultimate evil that wanted to consume the entire galaxy of all life that was one that ultimately convinced Thel. I mean Chief and Guilty spark did help to extent as well. But the Gravemind was ultimate factor in breaking his faith. Which is also ironic because the gravemind is the master of manipulation,lies and betrayals. The Gravemind is even worse at spreading lies than the profits I wouldn't be surprised if the gravemind some how clouded the prophets judgement to not like they weren't crazy enough on their own but he could have ramped up their madness lol.
I know this is a sad story but I just find it funny how Irony is the key player in driving the halo narrative and lore down the current path it is headed. And for the most I think its for the better. I just don't think the mantle of responsibility is just for humanity alone. I think Thel and the swords have a role at least although probably more indirectly because by taking on re emerging covenant sub factions hes preventing them activating the Halo Arrays or getting access to fore runner weapons caches or other relics of war.
Now I am not saying that every covenant splinter faction would want to carry out the prophet of truths legacy or for their own conquest. But Jul Madma and his storm covenant were at least an example of an insurgency that posed a decent enough threat to be taken seriously by the UNSC. While being a major threat to Thels Rule of Sangheilos and his united clans he had worked so hard to convince to join his cause and strengthen the post war alliance with humanity.
But I am aware that alliance has some tension. Officially with the UNSC and some of its high ranking commanders they have come to terms with the Sangheli and trust that they can depend on each other once shit hits the fan again. But I can understand Thel and his people mistrust of ONI at least and its safe to say that even members with in the UNSC don't trust what ONI's up to. But ONI has alot of power and influence to silence those who call them out on their shady deeds.
Damn, this was really well said
I can't stop thinking about what woulda happened if they actually believed Sesa and joined forces with him at that time. I just discovered your channel last week and I'm loving the content you put out. Thank you
I realized from your video a small dialogue connection between Halo 2 and 3.
The followers of the Heretic Leader said that "his truth must not be silenced".
Arbiter silenced Truth's "truth", remember? "And for that, you must be silenced."
Pretty neat, nice video!
I just realized how similar the Covenant and the Imperium of Man are
edit: I now want a halo fan-game that is Counter Strike, but one side are heretics and the other are covie specops.
I think Call of Duty faction backed style multiplayer would be good, that way playing as Spartans wont get as stale.
Wait a minute, that is completely inaccurate. The only correspondences may be the belief in the rings for salvation and the belief that the God Emperor yet lives. This is also implying that the God Emperor is dead. This is untrue, as it has been stated that he lives canonically, if not solely due to the Orks being an absolute perfect mix of retardation and massive psychic power. If anything the correlations between Eldar and Covenant are the highest, with Eldar having a completely unique caste and religious system that they hold as superior to all else in the known universe and firmly believe anything that anyone else says is wrong.
@@justincoltharp9701 you could also draw some similarities to the t'au, seeing as they're empires made up of many different races assimilated one way or another, including bird/lizard-like warriors, bug-like flying soldiers, and an intelligent species of worm-like creatures. you could also draw a comparison between the Prophets and the Ethereals, and if you stretch it enough the Heretics have similarities to the Farsight Enclaves.

Just a touch on the sponsor, i bought a pair myself and they're legit. When I'm cutting grass i can barely hear my lawnmower at HALF volume. Full volume is just pure noise cancelation.
It’s mad growing up I was a massive halo fan and I’m 19 now and I thought I knew everything about halo this guy has opened my eyes and increased my knowledge of halo lore ! Keep providing us knowledge hiddenXperia !
I still don’t understand how these guys talked and ate with those respirators jammed in their mouths.

Spartanflu in the cutscenes, terminals, and during gameplay they talk with them in.

have you heard the tragedy of Sesa 'Refume the awoken? I didn't think so its not one the profits would tell you.
Profits
The Swords should build statue to honor Refumee.
It always bothered me playing as arbiter for the first time killing all the heretics only to realize they were the good guys and then the arbiter doing the same exact thing as the heretics In the final level
I like how at first Arbiter didn't reason with the heretic later than at the end of halo 2 arbiter realized the truth and tried to tell tartarus.
Thel finally caught the Prophets in their bullshit, and recruiting the Brutes to replace the Elites honestly was stupid given the resulting events. The Prophets screwed themselves.
I like to think that if the unsc would of tried to contact the heretic faction and attempt to extract them from the gas mine if they were there long enough
There were only 3 human ships in the original halo system and they wouldn’t have had much time before a large covenant fleet, the largest ever seen, to enter the system
I think he immediately opened fire because of well, the station was in free fall, but even if he did get to the seraph in reality he knew death was outside considering the fleet on standby above them, and like he said he would rather die by his hands so he decided to go through with that.
The heretic leader is cool and all but his boss fight on legendary made me want to activate the rings
Imagine being thel and realizing you glassed entire planets for lies
I think the only person who would make a more in depth video is Installation 00, it's what he's known for, but solid work on the video Hiddenxperia

The music that played during the aerial portion of the mission was awesome.
I always feel awful when I am killing him
God this made me so happy. I didn't know that he had a brother, but I'm glad he continues the fight in his stead. I always found Sesa Refumee's death tragic.
Ah yes the iconic jet-pack elite
I just realized after watching the Scientology documentary that the arbiter role is like a suppressive person basically being banished for questioning the religion and looked down upon.
If elites become playable again, I'd love to bre able to wear their armor, also, playable elites needs to return.
Why is every piece of lore in the Halo universe so damn compelling? Seriously, it's so rich with stories, all untapped by the games! If someone says "Halo is just a mindless shooter game" you KNOW that they have no idea what they're talkibg about and they've probably only played one game EVER without even finishing its campaign or actually paying attention. Halo is my favorite sci-fi universe in the... well, universe! I can't wait for more Infinite videos! I want gameplay!
Before I learned the story of Halo 2. I always thought that The Heretic was an Arbiter that betrayed the Covenant! I was a stupid child. Halo 2 came out before I was born! I was 2 when Halo 3 came out and I remember watching Halo 4 multiplayer on UA-cam when I was 7 or 8.
I was only 10-11 years old at the time of playing Halo 2 in 2006 2 years after it was out. I thought nothing of the The Heretic leader and army until the terminals and this video. I hope you got around to playing the older Halos as much as everyone else did.
Soul Power I did actually! I just got MCC in February due to a delay because you can’t buy items for an Xbox in the Microsoft store on a pc. I beat Halo 2 before CE because I already knew the story of CE. I didn’t know the story of Halo 2 or 3 as the other Halo games. I stopped playing MCC for a while because the only multiplayer games were all Reach! A few 2A or 3 here and there but that was it! I just beat Reach the before this video came out. Good story... could use a little balancing. But now my goal is to beat ODST and 4.
@@aj_wlyms3117 How was 4?
Lol I was 8 when 2 came out. Didn't think of it until I was a teenager and started delving into halo lore
@@aj_wlyms3117 I literally wasn't aware you replied a month ago, my bad man. But good on you. ODST is a special and unique experience that I didn't have much appreciation for when it first came out, but second time around in my early and mid 20s my opinion is vastly different. H4 as much as it was criticized even before Halo 5 was released, Halo 4 had a good story going for it and delved more into older lore that Bungie's Halos never touched.
Reach balancing became a mess when the original title update was released and did good and bad. I hope in the future it gets addressed with more rebalance.
Which Halo is part of your favorite multiplayer so far with all those included?
Another great video hiddenXperia and also I always sympathized for the Heretic leader
If only that heretic dude would've just kept talking instead of blasting...
Not letting us play again as the arbiter in any other title after Halo 2 was such a waste of potential. The point of view of sangheili is always so interesting!
Hidden, we need your opinion on some of these Infinite “leaks” and whether you think they’re legit or not!
See this is why I love Halo the lore is scary but also really cool I've loved this game since I was 4 and seeing u make lore videos of this game makes me happy to know that people still love Halo and it's lore thank you for making this video can't wait to see the next Halo lore video

Cool we're covering the Heretics again! Those guys were awesome.
On an off topic note, Xperia, I'm surprised you haven't yet covered the very aggravating new toy release of a Gungnir Spartan with an SMG for Infinite and a Brute warrior holding what looks like either a carbine or some sort of grenade launcher.
It's amazing to me how much story and lore went over my head as a kid when I first played these games. Majority of the time I had no idea what was happening, but it was fun.
These videos are incredible going into so much detail about the Halo story. I just wish they would focus more on narrative in future Halo games with the incredible lore out there.
I'm sure it wasn't easy for the heretic faction fighting this impossible up hill battle. but controlling the flood like a weapon, now that must have taken some genius.
Simply amazing work here my friend. This channel continues to surprise me each and every time I watch it.
Gotta say, you and rocket sloth have probably the best transitions to sponsors of any halo content I've seen on UA-cam
i will never get over how badass that intro is
It would be cool if in infinite we see a memorial to Sasa in one of the arbiters ship
And stating that jackals were on the station makes me wonder: where were they during the arbiter and the oracle
Ok, that Segway into the sponsor was next level.
Love a deep doce into the lore, it's why you're the best at this job!
The fact that sesa refumee says that humans would basically have the right to kill them on sight shows that he saw that they were wrong and they never should have fought that damn war
The Heritic faction is the Covenant version of the Insurrection.
The halo 2 remastered cinematics are beautiful
okay ngl, i got so lost into the vid that i believed the elites used raycon for a good moment before going "hold on wait-"
The more I hear about covenant, the more I wanna play as a arbiter, we really need game where we play as arbiter and other rebels
This is completely random, but I just now figured out that the floods introduction theme is an like an alarm at 12:50. Kinda of really shows how much of a threat the flood was even when we knew nothing about them in Halo CE. Just a small detail I've never noticed, carry on.
A moment of silence for every elite in Xperia’s vid getting sacrificed for the intro ;(
Hey man, I just wanted to say I liked your ad placement. You clearly put effort into it, and I think you did an outstanding job :)
I think that was the cleanest transition to an ad
The chase scene music is by far the best. Kind of reminds me of mastodons playstyle(s)
thank u for this video, the heretic leader is one of my favorite characters
Sesa basicaly is one of the favourite characters in Halo if not most one
Tho armor design is absolute beauty
