Edit: Also if someone posts something along the lines of "In the book the Elite that becomes the Arbiter in Halo 2-3 kills Jun" don't listen to that person for that person does not know how to comprehend what he/she is reading.
Wait, what? How does that make any sense at all?
There's always at least three people that post in "Is Jun alive?" threads saying the new Fall of Reach book says the Arbiter kills him and honestly believe it to be true. Those people irk me to know end whenever they keep trying to spread misinformation.
Oh, okay. I did not get the new version of TFoR, so I wouldint know... So then who does the Arbiter kill in the new version?
Just curiosity.
The Arbiter kills no one because the Arbiter isn't in the new version. It's a Red Elite who just happens to share the same first name as the Halo 2/3 Arbiter, Thel. The short story added into the reissued version of The Fall of Reach sets up the events portrayed in the Halo Legends short, "The Package". Not to be confused by the Halo:Reach level of the same name.
The short story is presented as an after action report from both the UNSC and Covenant perspective of the battle of Miridem. In it both reports come to the conclusion that Thel kills Halsey's Spartan bodyguard as she tried to flee from Miridem. The bodyguard is unnamed, but due to tying in dialogue from Ghosts of Onyx it's clear that it's Sheila as Halsey notes that she personally saw Sheila die on Miridem. The UNSC perspective confirms there was only one Spartan present on the planet. Thus it's clear that the bodyguard in question is Shelia.
Thel proceeds to capture Halsey on the assumption that she is a VIP due to her bodyguard being a Spartan. Halsey's capture forces the UNSC to deploy Spartans to rescue her, and BAM that's where The Package starts off.
