Like any good member of his people, he dreamed of becoming a pirate, of growing his own wealth and, to a lesser extent maybe, the wealth of his clan. He would take the first opportunity that came, joining the raider [i]Contemptuous[/i] as general crew. While not suborned to the Covenant, the vessel’s Shipmistress had connections there and they soon joined the most righteous fight against Humanity. The idea was, of course, that they might be able to go about, to collect technology or systems or simple material wealth, that they could perhaps even board a few of the human vessels. That period was as difficult as it was profitable. Jev suffered under the Shipmistress, cruel and harsh as she was, and they encountered dangers few Kig-Yar would be happy of weathering. The ships that she had intended to board turned out to be universally hot glowing rocks of sheer metal, leading to more adventures on the ground than could otherwise be desired. They would often find that some bases, despite their outward appearances, could still have a reasonable number of flesh aboard that was still willing to fight and such humans knew the terrain better than expected. It was harsh, dangerous, and after a few months of it the Shipmistress - and indeed the majority of the crew - decided that more profitable ventures could be found for far less hassle. Their first instance of attempts to commerce with humanity, an act inspired by the events of [url=https://www.halopedia.org/Battle_of_the_Rubble]23 Librae[/url], would go remarkably poorly for the [i]Contemptuous[/i]. Coming upon a human installation deep within a planetary asteroid ring, one they only noticed by the radiation and a vessel moving from one asteroid to another, the raider broadcast its intent and entered the field. Nine asteroids detonated disagreed with this course of action, rendering the raider suddenly dead in the water and the entirety of the bridge crew dead, to include the Shipmistress herself. Jev survived, by virtue of checking the cargo bay, as human boarding parties began to come alongside with the clear and utterly vile attempt of pirating [i]them[/i]. The defense of the ship would be harsh, and require the unplanned explosive decompression of several decks, but ultimately was a pyrrhic victory. On taking stock of the overall state of things, by virtue of seniority Jev declared himself Shipmaster. The human installation would be immediately destroyed by plasma torpedoes, while their few lifeboats were captured. This was in 2536, and for the next decade or so Chur’R-Jev made a good enough name through his salvation operations. They would be present for the counterassault at [url=https://www.halopedia.org/Operation:_PROMETHEUS]K7-49[/url], staying for a good period following the battle to collect the near-entirety of Alpha Company under the assumption that they might be able to scavenge some use from their armor or sell the corpses to more wealthy Kig-Yar ‘Collectors’. The former would prove an utter failure, though the latter did find some success. When the Prophets declared the Sanghelli to be traitors, the Shipmaster of the [i]Contemptuous[/i] answered that call - but not as intended. The declaration of heresy merely meant that a new market had opened to Chur’R-Jev, a market of the few who were more than willing to fight to the end yet would always need the weapons for that fight. He began to immediately smuggle arms to the Sanghelli throughout the Great Schism. The Shipmaster also began a policy of salvation towards the Huragok wherever possible, noting that having a body of engineers would be more than profitable in the years to follow. The end of the war would prove to be the end of this venture, though through his efforts Chur’R-Jev would gain notable rank among the Swords of Sanghelios. This was something he immediately leveraged to gain a station on Anvil, seeing the opportunity as one purely driven by profit - the technologies and connections developed there could, after all, lead to an even greater margin than any back home.

He joined the latter of these, not by any dint of faith, but by the knowledge that his connections and information there could lead to greater and greater profits for himself and his people. Tec would be stationed aboard the cruiser [i]Pious Hymn[/i], one of the many skirmishers among the lances, where his knowledge of the various Covenant staging grounds, replenishment stations, and refueling depots would garner great praise from the elders of his clan. Explosives from this locale, guns from this, these would be siphoned away piecemeal throughout the war. In the end, he would find himself on a vessel of Loyalists to the Covenant, the Sangheili Shipmaster killed by Jiralhanae emissaries of the Prophets, and Tec rapidly knew that this did not bode well. He needed to be among his own people. As a direct result, halfway inciting a mutiny in the lower decks with talk that the Jiralhanae themselves were heretics who desired the cruiser for themselves, among the chaos Tec led a small contingent to take a secondary engineering station and detonate sections of the cruiser. Destroying most of the command decks, and the troublesome Jiralhanae along with it, they sent out a distress signal to the Kig-Yar for immediate ‘salvation’. Following this deed of some ignobility, Tec caught the eye of a Shipmaster Chur'R-Jev. He would be accepted on as crew, given some measure of promotion, and kept incredibly close for the more interesting deeds that might be required of a Kig-Yar.

As a result, he found far less business as might otherwise be hoped, often moving rapidly from one location to another following the great fleets of the Covenant in their advance. Through this, however, Nol would take some traditional advantage in siphoning away supplies, weapons, fuel into the traditional merchants for such, selling these things on the black market at a decent price. The Great Schism would see the [i]Totality of Faith[/i] renamed by the Shipmistress to [i]Minor Expense Venture[/i] and immediately setting about to pirate various holdings of both the Loyalists and the Sangheili after completely eliminating their crew of Unggoy. Using a good enough knowledge of both sides forces and locations, supplied by loyal Kig-Yar, the vessel struck depots often after forces had disappeared on some other mission, posing as a friendly craft loading supplies for transfer to some other ship. The ploy worked extremely well, as neither side had an incredibly good track of which vessels were whose especially when such a vessel had neither Jiralhanae nor Sangheili aboard for an easy marker. The issue would disappear with the end of the war, the [i]Minor Expense Venture[/i] setting course for Eayn with spirits high and pockets full. The Shipmistress had decided to retire early, after all, and the crew were free to largely go where they wished. Nol would join the crew of the [i]Contemptuous[/i] as a result, displaying a degree of cutting and willingness to talk that caught the Shipmaster’s interest and eventual, personal recruitment to be a close aid. Since then, the Kig-Yar has been quite useful in gathering information here or there, both willing and otherwise.
