Thel 'Vadam

Thel 'Vadam is a powerful Sangheili warrior. the Vadam family, rulers of the powerful State of Vadam on Sanghelios. As a young Sangheili, Thel was trained in the ways of the warrior by his relative Lak 'Vadamee. He joined the Covenant military, earning him the right to use the "-ee" suffix, which is added to a Sangheilian name upon joining the military. Thel fought alongside the Covenant when they attacked Madrigal in 2528. Soon, Thel gained the rank of Shipmaster and earned the title of Kaidon within his keep. The loss of the Forerunner relic called Halo that the Covenant held “holy” was a colossal failure. Currently he stands before the prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret trying to explain what happened and defend his position.
