Halo: The Flood mentions a "Ship Master Orna 'Fulsamee", who was involved with the destruction/capture of the Pillar of Autumn. Could this be the Arbiter we all know and (some of us, anyway) love? There is perhaps only one person right now who knows the answer, and his name is Eric Nylund.

EDIT: According to WIkipedia, the Supreme Commander (who we now know as the Arbiter) as also the one responsible for the loss of the Ascendant Justice. I haven't read First Strike yet, so can anyone shed some light on this? Is the Supreme Commander who lost control of this ship to the Humans called Orna 'Fulsamee? Or is it another Elite entirely?
No, the Arbiter was the Supreme Commander which meant he controlled the entire Covenant fleet during Halo. Orna was the ship commander of the Truth and Reconciliation. During Halo when you are rescuing Captain Keyes, you kill Orna. He's the Golden Elite with the sword that comes after you.
Edit: I'm not sure they give the Arbiter's name in the books...all of the major elites mentioned in the book by name are dead. Orna, ship commander = dead. Rolamee, councillor = dead. Noga 'Putumee, field master = dead. Zuka 'Zamamee, spec-ops = dead. Finally Isna Nosolee, Eye of the Prophet = dead.
