Trivia

 * Shah has severe plasma scarring on the right side of his face. It is unknown how he sustained those injuries, presumably by being grazed in the face with a plasma weapon.
 * Judging by his knowledge of the Spartan KIA Protocol it could be assumed the directive was later lifted after the war and the status of the Spartans declassified.
 * Shah seems to be of Indian descent, judging by his Hindu first name meaning Lotus Flowers.
