===Early life===
Dural 'Mdama is the eldest son of [[Raia 'Mdama|Raia]] and [[Jul 'Mdama]]. At some point he became aware who his father was, even though Sangheili custom dictates the youth are solely judged on their own abilities and not by their heritage. He and his brother [[Asum]] lived in the [[State of Mdama]] and were taught [[martial arts|combat skills]] by [[Naxan]] in their home at [[Bekan Keep]]. Following his mother's death at the start of the [[Blooding Years]], Dural swore to exact vengeance on her killers and vowed to fight [[humans]], as they supported the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and posed a threat to [[Sanghelios]] in his eyes.{{Ref/Reuse|Epilogue}} Feeling responsible for his mother's death during the [[Siege at Kolaar]], the fundamentalist leader [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] took Dural on as an apprentice, starting him off as a cadet among the Servants of the Abiding Truth.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 123''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
==Personality & Traits==
Dural fanatically believes in the Servants of the Abiding Truth. With a fierce temper even in his youth, he lead the Servants with fear and cut down those who questioned him too often. He despises humans and the Swords of Sanghelios for the death of his mother and has no qualms killing children to get his way. Despite his scorn for the Swords of Sanghelios, he is still reluctant to kill female Sangheili, even if they are his foes, as Raia 'Mdama taught him to be chivalrous to females when she was alive. He is also impatient according to Asum.{{Ref/Novel|Id=LoO|LoO}} Though he doesn't openly admit it, he still cared enough about Asum to warn him about his near-suicidal gambit to survive the beasts of Onyx.

Like his father and brother, Dural 'Mdama has pale skin.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P256|Enc22|Page=256}}
Like his father, Dural 'Mdama has pale skin. He wears pale blue armor, with a [[Holography|holographic]] symbol projected from his helmet resembling that of the one seen on his father's armor.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P256|Enc22|Page=256}}
 
==Equipment==
===Anchorite-warrior sect armor===
For himself, and at the urging of Telcam, Dural had painted his armor in a pale blue and white, similar to the color of a energy sword. His combat harness was a fierce and ancient variant from an anchorite-warrior sect that he recovered from the vaults of the Ontom temple. This particular and rare set of armor made him stand out among the Servants.{{Ref/Book|Halo: Legacy of Onyx|Page=54}}{{Ref/Book|Halo: Legacy of Onyx|Page=218}}
===''Danzhau''-pattern intrusion harness===
Dural has also been seen wearing a blue [[Sangheili Zealot#Danzhau-pattern intrusion harness|''Danzhau''-pattern intrusion harness]] with a [[Holography|holographic]] symbol projected from his helmet resembling that of the one seen on his father's armor.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P256}}
