#KILLER INSTINCT WIKI STAGE SKIN#
Using the default Halo 5: Guardians Kaidon skin arms the Arbiter with Thel 'Vadam's personal energy sword, Prophets' Bane, though the Halo 2: Anniversary skin uses a standard Type-1 energy sword. Regardless of the skin used, the Arbiter is equipped with a Covenant carbine, an energy sword, and Anskum-pattern plasma grenades, and active camouflage. In his reveal trailer, he even uses 'Vadam's Halo 3 catchphrase, "Were it so easy." The Arbiter claims to have encountered the Flood and killed the Prophet of Truth, both key elements of 'Vadam's history. His default and alternate skins are recreations of 'Vadam's Halo 5: Guardians and Halo 2: Anniversary appearances, respectively. Though Killer Instinct's developers regard the character as an amalgamation of themes and traits from various Arbiters, he is clearly intended to be a stand-in for Thel 'Vadam, the Arbiter introduced in Halo 2.

" I have fought with honor, endured the brand of shame, dealt out vengeance, even at the threshold of oblivion, I stood against false Truth and the all consuming flood, but now new foes have arisen" - This Arbiter shares the same history as Thel Vadam
