Alcyonius

Captain-Major Alcyonius Aristróchyr Magni, also known as the Keenest of the Left-Hand, was the former commander of the 9th Dragoon Legion of the Covenant.

Biography
Serving under the Chieftain Garvus, Alcyonius first saw action at the Battle of Njarro, a dry human colony where he also met his lifelong friend Berringus. Later in the war, he eventually founded the 9th Dragoon Legion.

Fall of High Charity
On the morning of November 3, 2552, Alcyonius led his legion off of their barges around the center of High Charity's Unbreakable Spine. Taking direct command of the First Maniple, he pushed all the way up to the top of the structure, easily massacring the unprepared Sangheili forces. While elements of the 9th Dragoons pinned down the 17th Air Defense Legion, he directly focused himself against the Swords of the Third Sun. He forced them to take their final stand at the Temple of Hope and Vindication, where he and his men wiped them out with minimal casualties; Alcyonius even defeated the last of their number, Desan ‘Atmahatyee, in a one-on-one duel. Immediately following this, he received a transmission by Warmaster Anotatus to cease firing against Sangheili troops, as the Flood were rapidly spreading across the station. Reluctantly, and against the advice of his subordinates, he chose to obey this.

Alcyonius sent out a messenger to rely the request to the 17th Air Defense Legion, and quickly met up with their envoy, Major Lehe 'Osodnee.
