Tartarus (Halo)

"A bloody fate awaits you and the rest of your incompetent race, and I, Tartarus, Chieftain of the Brutes will send you to it!"

- Tartarus the Chieftain of the Brutes

Tartarus was the last known Chieftain of the Jiralhanae to serve in the Covenant. He is Thel 'Vadam's primary rival and the secondary antagonist in Halo 2 and acts as the Hierarchs' chief enforcer or, more accurately, Truth's second-in-command.

He was placed in charge of activating the Halo Rings and arrived at Installation 05's control room to do so. Although the Arbiter with the help of many Elites and UNSC forces, stopped Tartarus along with his Brutes and killed them.
