Taking place 20 years before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, Ensemble Studio’s Halo Wars features a different Arbiter from the character seen in the trilogy. Lead designer David Pottinger described Ensemble’s Arbiter as a “mean guy.
He’s Darth Vader times ten.” The characterization stemmed from a desire to make the Covenant more basically “evil” in order to provide a good guy-bad guy conflict. Parts of the Arbiter’s backstory before the game’s events are explained in a tie-in graphic novel, Halo Wars: Genesis.
