  Tartarus
Tartarus is the lowest region of the world, as far below earth as earth is from heaven.
Tartarus is described as a dank, gloomy pit, surrounded by a wall of bronze, and beyond that a three-fold layer of night.
In early stories, it is primarily the prison for defeated gods; the Titans were condemned to Tartarus after losing their battle against the Olympian gods, and the hecatoncheires stood over them as guards at the bronze gates.

 Halo 2 storyline
The Arbiter is teleported to the surface of Halo 05, in a forest environment similar to the Delta Halo / Regret level pair.
Also, as she is not actually on board the ship, it seems that any detonation would, by definition, be "remote"; this has led some fans to speculate that she has another motive for remaining in the Covenant system, perhaps related to the "resistance" she vaguely mentions encountering during the level.
Tartarus is forcing Miranda Keyes to reunite the Index with the Core of Halo 05 to trigger the installation to fire.

Halo 2 players with Microsoft Passport accounts can log on to bungie.net and obtain extremely detailed statistics on their performance, including level maps for several hundred of the player's most recent games that indicate graphically where and when the player scored a kill or was killed him- or herself.
The Halos, we learn from 343 Guilty Spark, were built to prevent the Flood from spreading throughout the Galaxy, and that the Forerunners who built it were wiped out when they fired it as a "weapon of last resort" at some point in the remote past.

Tartarus is the most prominent of the Brutes of the Covenant, easily recognized by his white hair and distinctive mohawk.
Tartarus provided aerial support for the Arbiter during his mission to kill the Heretic leader near Basis, and reappeared when the Arbiter tried to retrieve the Index of Delta Halo.
In the final showdown, Tartarus puts up a difficult fight with his masssive one-hit-kill warhammer and his unique fog-like energy shield that is almost impervious to damage, but ultimately is killed through the combined efforts of the Arbiter, several Elites, and Sgt. Johnson, successfully delaying the destruction of the galaxy.

Tartarus: the lowest depths of the Earth, the realm of the dead, and in our case, the Chieftain of the Brutes.
Tartarus schemed to acquire power and a place for himself in this "salvation", but even his mighty hammer, the "Fist of Rukt", could not deliver him; at his death at the hands of the Arbiter, he remained only a blind pawn.
Tartarus may have had a hand in those events, as a criminal, and for that he's been reborn, again and again, living out 3000 of 100000 years with no change whatsoever in his future.

Tartarus: Tartarus was the chieftain of the Brutes (chieftain being like their leader).

Now, people who have read the Halo novels are going to be quick to point out that an explanation was already given (something along the lines of a genetic condition that made his body undesirable as a Flood host).
A while ago, Ross Mills noticed an advertisement for the Halo Graphic Novel; one of the drawings (seemingly by Simon Bisley, artist of "The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor") shows an elite-like creature, but with no split mandible and, most noticeably, four eyes rather than two.
I was just talking about the Halo Graphic Novel, when I hit the cutscene at the end of The Arbiter, when Spec Ops Leader walks in, and says "I've smelled that stench before...".

Tartarus will keep hitting her no matter what you do so yeah just keep pumping led/ plasma into tartarus until he dies..
As you mentioned, Commander Keyes cannot be moved or stunned, occasionally she can with a plasma grenade but, because Tartarus cannot shift her out of his way, he'll repeatedly hit Keyes over and over again - making him undefensive.
In his panic, sometimes he'll fall of the edge of the platform he is on.

 MasterCheif vs Abiter vs Tartarus
Tartarus is the strongest, Chief is the coolest looking, and Arbiter is the stealthy one.
Also the Arbeater would hide and wait until Master Cheese and Tartursauce are too preoccupied with each other that they forget the Arbeater is there, then he would finish both of them off with a well placed pineapple or plum.
He'd hit Tartarus, Tartarus would turn around, and Arbiter would be murdered.

 General ideas for what to add to Halo 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
the thing that i thought about is that if they add these things to the game halo could become a squad shooter or like idk not halo.
When you break down the Halo 2 timeline and the actual time that the Chief spent in his MARK V suit, then you realize he's only had the benefits of the shields for a VERY brief time.
Accounting for the fact that the chief was put into action almost immediately after arriving on Delta Halo 05, some time for his unconsciousness in Gravemind's custody, and the final battle to leave High Charity, finally arriving back at Earth in the Forerunner ship.

 IGN Boards - Tartarus on legendary
I got a beam rifle and saved it until I got to Tartarus and that thing that moves in a circle I jumped on and every time his shield was down shot him in the head.
The strategy suggested by the official guide is to get dual brute plasma rifles, then shoot him from up top, then when he comes after you, just drop down.
You have to hit him once the first time, twice the second time his shields are down, three hits the third time, etc. You can hit him with anything, however I prefer shotgun.

the way I do it is to make sure I get a snipe before hand to kill off all the brutes that come along to help out Tartarus before they kill you in a blink of an eye.
