Bio:
Ragnuk was born into a noble family; his father was a swordsman while his mother was of noble blood. As such he was trained in the ways of combat and stratagem by his uncle. He was tutored by the best tutors in his state of Dabald on Sanghelios before joining the covenant. Before joining the covenant, he mostly trained and became the pride of his clan and the envy of rival clans. He got into many fights with other children, winning most of them and losing to very few. This quickly allowed for the other states to see the Dabaldee clan's strength. During a rebellion from the Kig-Yar, Ragnuk's uncle was wounded in battle, this caused for dishonor on Ragnuk's uncle and their clan. Ragnuk, angered by the fact that they were judging his uncle swore to regain his uncle's honor.
Ragnuk joined the covenant as a major due to his high status. While in the covenant he partook in many battles, mostly on Harvest. Before then he had fought in several civil wars against heretics, this allowed him to earn the rank of an ultra. During harvest, he led his lance in battle after their commander had been killed at the hands of a UNSC sniper. This leadership led to Ragnuk gaining respect from the other Sangheili. Ragnuk slowly climbed up the ranks showing the reason he has the birth right to wield a sword. He also exhibited his cunning and strategy by capturing an ONI building on Harvest with only his squad. This and his skill with close range combat as well as his many victories made him an excellent tactical leader and were the reason he was able to be promoted to Field Master after the Battle of Arcadia was won.
During the Battle for Harvest, a Sangheili squad requested back up from Ragnuk and his squad. Ragnuk ignored this request however due to his own orders, to find the humans' command center and send the coordinates for a major assault. Those Sangheili died and Ragnuk was blamed, his response was that his mission took priority over anything and everything. This caused for him to be questioned about his faith but he assured the prophets that he would a strong and swift instrument for them to use.
He does not question the prophets, or their orders he does as he is commanded to do in battle, no more, no less. He does however hate the brutes and their "methods" for getting things done. They are egotistical and honorless monstrosities that the prophets allowed to join the covenant! This was the greatest reason for Ragnuk to hate the brutes since he has such a high regard for honor in combat. Ragnuk hates the brutes but will work with them if absolutely necessary of him to do so. Ragnuk sometimes regrets his rank as he no longer fights on the front lines, he misses the danger of battle as it is replaced with command and respect of his rank.

Fronum Lance
Bio:
This lance is completely formed of Kig-Yar and is usually used as snipers or aiding in defenses.
Tara Lance:
Bio:
Yanme'e control this lance, about sixteen Yanme'e are here and they provide aerial cover and flanking. Their speed and ability to fly make them worthy adversaries.
Dogma Lance:

Conrus Legion
Bio:
Completely composed of Sanghelis of minor or major ranking. This is Ragnuk's main unit in battle. These are soldiers with well rounded abilities and are always seeking honor in battle.
RP Sample:
It is cool in the drop ship where Ragnuk analyzes the battle. He is not alone however, the constant drone of the Yanme'e remind him of that. Suddenly his com came on.
"Commander the humans are holding their ground against us, we cannot push them back", a Sangheili informed him.
"Very well, I am sending back up to you now use them to flank the enemy and push them back further", Ragnuk said as he signaled the Yanme'e to move out.
The Yanme'e clicked with anticipation as they scattered into the air and towards the battle to aid against the humans. The drop ship was a little quieter but he still had much to do.
"Are the AA wraiths in place yet", Ragnuk asked.
There was a growl as the brute heard the tone in his voice, "Yes commander we have secured this area and are in position"
Ragnuk didn't like the brute's tone but that would have to do, he had more important things to get to. He could always punish the brute later. Ragnuk looked out the drop ship's side door and visually confirmed the AA wraith's position. He then spoke into the com once more.
"How goes the battle at the ONI building?", Ragnuk asked.
"Commander the humans have barricaded themselves inside and charging in would be suicide", The Sangheili informed him.
"Very well, I'm sending you a wraith, use it to blow down their wall and use the Kig-Yar for long range suppressive fire. Also, use drop ships to gain access to the roof and spread their forces thin, making them weaker for the assault.", Ragnuk ordered them.
"Very well Commander", the Sangheili acknowledged.
Ragnuk the spoke into the com again, this time to the covenant ship in space.
"I need a wraith sent to the ONI building to aid in the assault", he requested.
"Understood", a Sangheili voice responded.
Ragnuk then took a long breath, his mandibles opening as he did such. He had been in the drop ship for three hours leading this battle, and there was no sign of it ending. Ragnuk quickly discarded these thoughts as they would not assist him. He then spoke into the com once more.
"All ghost and shade turrets in the area, be on the lookout for any human vehicles now that the AA wraiths are in position and stopping their air units", he advised.
The drop ship then slowly began to descend into the city where the covenant had taken over. He stepped out and was greeted by several Sangheli, all bowing their heads. He quickly moved past them and proceeded into the building.
"Has the scarab arrived yet", Ragnuk asked them.
"No Commander, it has yet to arrive from the outskirts", the Sangheili reported.
Ragnuk advised to have the scarab dropped outside the city to draw force away from the city. This worked as much of humans' heavy weapon power was taken to deal with it. This allowed the covenant to slip into the city with ease.
"Very well", Ragnuk said as he spoke into the com.
"Any Banshee patrols in the area, I want you to head toward the outskirts and verify whether or not the scarab is still operational", he ordered.
"Understood", someone on the other side said.
Ragnuk then had a thought; the humans were now limited to relying on ground power alone. He then spoke to the covenant ship once more.
"I require seraphs for bombing runs in the city", he stated.
"All seraphs are in use I will send some as soon as we can", the elite informed him.
This was good enough for Ragnuk, he really just wanted be assured that humans had no means of retaliating against them. Suddenly a voice spoke into his com.
"This is banshee patrol Argo, the scarab has been spotted and it is still operational but it has sustained damage from what appears to be human tanks", the voice said.
"Very well, if it can still fight send it to these coordinates", he said sending the location of the Yanme'e and Elite.
This would allow for the scarab to be put to light use to keep it from sustaining more damage and assist the elite. Ragnuk then sat inside the covenant command tent and analyzed all he had done to see if he missed anything in his orders. Suddenly he realized that he had.
"Do we have men patrolling the captured parts of the city", He asked.
"No Commander we have not mana-", the Sangheili was interrupted by Ragnuk.
"Then grab several Unggoy and Kig-Yar and a few Brutes to patrol the city now", he ordered.
Ragnuk was in full gear now he thought through everything he ordered and saw no problems with.
"Five Seraphs are in route to the surface now", a voice spoke to him through the com.
"Excellent", Ragnuk said as he switched the com link.
"Attention seraph pilots, I require a bombing run at these coordinates", Ragnuk informed the pilots as he uploaded the coordinates of part of the city the human still had control over.
"Understood, we will burn them to ash", the pilot stated.
Ragnuk pulled out a hologram that displayed the city. He layed it on the table as he thought about their next move should be, the outskirts as well as the northern part of the city were under Covenant control. However, the humans still have control over the southern part. The AA wraiths would keep a good portion of the humans' air support down. Meanwhile the seraphs would be bombing the portion of the human controlled city, possibly wounding a good portion of the humans. The scarab would also be helping speed up the capture of the city. This battle would be over soon, that much seemed certain.
"This is the Conrus legion, the ONI building has been secured. The cowardly humans have retreated down into the building and we have hunting parties tracking them down as we speak", the Sangheili informed Ragnuk.
"Good, now split yourselves up to hold down the building and aid in the capture of the rest of the city. I shall be at the ONI building shortly.", Ragnuk ordered him.
"Understood Commander", the elite said.
Ragnuk smiled, this battle just got better, they had been trying to obtain that ONI building for quite some time and now they had it. This meant they could get valuable information on the humans and focus more intently on the capture of the city. Ragnuk chuckled at the idea of this battle being won. He then proceeded back towards the drop ship to be taken to the ONI building. Accompanying him were several Sangheili guards as they all climbed into the drop ship. The soldiers sat quietly as the drop ship ascended into the air and traveled to their destination. Ragnuk envied these soldiers greatly as they were able to go into battle, meanwhile Ragnuk was stuck giving orders far away from the battle. The drop ship dropped towards the ground as the ONI building was in sight. The top of the building had several covenant drop ships on it and several others circled the building. The bottom was another story entirely, hundreds of covenant soldiers surrounded the building. The distinct shape of of a wraith stood in the vicinity, as did several shade turrets. The building had a large whole in the wall and soldiers were moving in. Ragnuk smiled at the site of such military might, but he also felt envy as he watched the soldiers gloating about the victory. He pulled the hatch shut as they lowered to the ground.
"Commander, is everything alright?", one of the guards asked.
"Yes, I am fine. I'm simply savoring our victory against the humans", Ragnuk said as hid the jealousy in his voice.
The drop ship settled to the ground and Ragnuk walked out to avoid speaking to the guard any longer. He proceeded to the building's entrance, seeing several injured elites by themselves. Ragnuk felt their shame and pitied the Sangheili for their dishonor. Several Sangheili bowed their heads as Ragnuk walked by them. He focused on the building and proceeded into the hole. The ONI building had certainly fallen, it was filled with covenant activity. Soldiers were coming in, heading up into the higher levels,and heading into the lower levels. Ragnuk proceed pass several dead marines and ODSTs as he inspected the building. He then turned towards the entrance to the lower levels and proceeded toward the entrance. He was preparing to descend the building in search of any data the humans had failed to erase.
