He is the son of [[Raia 'Mdama|Raia]] and [[Jul ‘Mdama]], although he does not know who his father is as it is custom for Sangheili not to reveal the name of the father, so that they are solely judged on their abilities and not their heritage. He and his brother [[Asum]] lived in the [[State of Mdama]] and were taught combat by [[Naxan]] in the [[Bekan Keep]]. Following the death of his mother, he swore to exact vengeance on her killers and vowed to fight [[humans]], as they supported the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and posed a threat to [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="Epilogue"/> Feeling responsible for his mother's death, [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] took Dural on as an apprentice.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 123''</ref> By the [[Battle of Requiem]] Dural had become a leading member of the Servants of the Abiding Truth under the name '''Pale Blade'''.<ref name="Mythos"/> Several months later, on January 21, [[2558]], the Servants of the Abiding Truth were dealt a crushing blow when Avu Med 'Telcam and two of his ranking commanders were [[Assassination of Avu Med 'Telcam|assassinated]]. Although deemed a secondary target for the [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] [[SPARTAN-G059|assassin]], Dural was fortunate not to be among the casualties of the attack.<ref>'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Knight Takes Bishop]]''</ref> | |||
