Line 596:

== Do the humans know the Arbiter was the one that led the Covenant that bombed Reach? ==

It seems that the Chief wouldn't be so cozy with him if he knows that the guy that has his six is the one that murdered most of his team...

** I don't think the Arbiter was the one who personally went down there and killed Noble Team. Beyond that, what is he gonna do exactly? Kill an extremely valuable ally because he was in charge of the invasion that killed a bunch of people he doesn't know, even though he admitted what he did was wrong and in joining you he's trying to set things right? The UNSC isn't exactly in the position to casually murder those who try to help them. It's just like when Western Allies caught wind of the Katyn Massacre the Soviets committed; sure it was an atrocity, but the fact of the matter is that it was in the past and there was pretty much no point in calling the Soviet Union out on it and risk losing a very powerful ally.

** Besides, while cheif may not know Arbiter was at Reach, they do know that he was a high ranking Elite, who, prior to being betrayed, was helping to lead a genocidal holy war against the human race. All the Elites had their hand in genocide of some degree, whether or not it was Reach. It's not like Master Cheif is under any false impression that the Arbiter is innocent.

* He knows (well, ''Cortana'' knows, which means the Chief knows) that the Arbiter is the Elite who was formerly the fleet commander of the Convenant that pursued them to the first Halo, who is the same Elite that commanded the attack on Reach. So yes, he does.
