HOSTILE

Iron Marshal Vael

More machine than doctrine. The Covenant's final argument.

They rebuilt him six times. Each time less flesh, more iron, more of whatever it is that keeps him standing when the thermal blade is the only thing still hot. The glowing eye isn't cosmetic, it's the targeting system they welded into his skull after he lost the original at Checkpoint Nine. He doesn't give speeches. He walks forward. The Covenant soldiers follow because the alternative is being in front of him when he swings.
