The Blinding light is a large group of Covenant remanence lead by Hjodij Umja, a experienced elite in combat who fought during the human-Covenant war. The group itself is made up of mostly elites/grunts with support units of hunters and jackels. They use mostly Covenant tech however they have done slight modifications to improve them in combat. Except for a few small scale engagements they are neutral to the UNSC and focus mostly on large scale battles with the brutes (mostly the Banished).
