==Biography==
===Early life===
Mahkee 'Chava was born and raised on [[Suban]], the "blood-[[Natural satellite|moon]]" of [[Sanghelios]], along with her two brothers, [[Oebrin 'Chava|Oebrin]] and [[Silset 'Chava|Silset]]. Ever since she was a child, her mother had told her that her veins flowed with the fire and blood of Suban itself, knowing that she was destined for something greater.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
 
As Mahkee 'Chava grew older, she realized that she did not possess the patience required for the political maneuverings, trade deals, and [[clan]] management—matters which traditionally constituted the civil duty of female [[Sangheili]]. After [[Human-Covenant War]] came to an end, [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] revived the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and declared that military service would be open to all, 'Chava saw her chance.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
 
===Ending Jul's Covenant===
{{Quote|I'm impressed. Arbiter has females in his ranks. War has traditionally been a male's job on Sanghelios.|[[Olympia Vale]], upon communicating with Mahkee 'Chava{{Ref/Reuse|SoS}}}}
[[File:H5G-T57Phantomdrop.png|thumb|250px|left|Mahkee 'Chava's Phantom over Nuusra]]
By [[2558]], Mahkee 'Chava was serving the Swords of Sanghelios as a [[Shipmaster|shipmistress]], fighting against [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant]] throughout the [[Blooding Years]]. On [[2558#October|October 27, 2558]], with the death of 'Mdama, the Covenant launched a desperate [[Battle of Nuusra|attack]] on the Swords of Sanghelios in the [[Nuusra]] territory on [[Sanghelios]]. Discovering the location of Arbiter Thel 'Vadam at Nuusra's [[Elder Council Chamber]], the Covenant laid siege to the building in an effort to assassinate 'Vadam.{{Ref/Reuse|SoS}}
 
Meanwhile, the [[United Nations Space Command]] sought access to the [[Guardian]] in [[Csurdon Sea]] near the city of [[Sunaion]] off the coast of Nuusra. After gaining the permission of the Swords of Sanghelios, {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} traveled to Sanghelios and 'Chava was sent to pick up [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] [[Fireteam Osiris]] from ''Infinity'' in a {{Pattern|Mikpramu|Phantom}}. Dropping off Osiris in Nuusra, 'Chava informed the Spartans of 'Vadam's location, and Osiris resolved to help the Arbiter at the Elder Council Chamber. As Osiris continued to battle Covenant forces, 'Chava provided them with support, as she directed them towards the Elder Council Chamber. When Osiris neared the chamber, 'Chava deployed two [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis|Mantis]] walkers from ''Infinity'' and Swords of Sanghelios infantry to help the Spartans fight off Covenant forces. After Osiris helped 'Vadam defeat the Covenant in the chamber, 'Chava picked them up in her [[dropship]] and returned them to the Swords of Sanghelios [[military base]] nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|SoS}}
 
'Chava participated in the [[Battle of Sunaion]] later that day as the Swords of Sanghelios launched an attack on the remainder of the Covenant at the city, which would give Osiris an opportunity to board Sunaion's Guardian. As Osiris battled their way towards the Guardian's location, 'Chava deployed Swords of Sanghelios forces to aid the Spartans. She could not ferry the Spartans directly to the Guardian, as Covenant {{Pattern|Upisa'weri|Shrike}}s throughout the city prevented her from doing so. Instead, 'Chava informed Osiris of a passage to Sunaion's undercity that would take the Spartans directly to the Guardian.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}}
 
===Banished attack on Suban===
{{Main|Battle of Suban}}
{{Quote|no=three|q1=Yet you have joined the Banished, which allies ''with'' humans, rather than one of the many Covenant remnant groups.|Mahkee 'Chava|q2=Even vermin can prove useful. They are so easy to turn against each other.|Orna 'Fulsam|q3=Then perhaps they are not so different from Sangheili.|Mahkee 'Chava|Mahkee 'Chava points out Orna 'Fulsam's hypocrisy}}{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
By early [[2560]], Mahkee 'Chava held command of the {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}} ''[[Scorrin's Blade]]'' within the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]]. When the [[Banished]] entered the [[Urs system]] with the intent to claim Suban and its unique resource of ''[[kemuksuru]]'' for themselves, the Sanghelios home defense fleet [[Battle of Suban|met]] the Banished in the skies of the blood-moon. Instead of joining the rest of the fleet, 'Chava had been ordered by [[Fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]] to keep ''Scorrin's Blade'' at a safe distance and comprehensively assess the situation, particularly with respect to the ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]'', the [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought]] [[flagship]] of the attacking Banished fleet. Additionally, ''Scorrin's Blade'' was present to provide limited support to a joint [[Spartan]]-Sangheili operation occurring simultaneously at the nearby [[Mines of Shua'ree]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
 
While coordinating with the ground operation, ''Scorrin's Blade'' received a hail from the [[shipmaster]] of the ''Ghost of Barolon'', [[High Warlord]] [[Orna 'Fulsam]]. The Banished shipmaster attempted to convince 'Chava to swear allegiance to the Banished to prevent more Sangheili bloodshed. He promised that only the [[human]]s she was working with would be killed, claiming that they were the true architects of the [[Blooding Years]], along with Arbiter Thel 'Vadam. When 'Chava made it clear that she had no interest in allying with traitors, 'Fulsam bade his farewell, requesting that she think on his words. He stated that his offer would remain open until their next round of battle. Before ending the transmission, 'Fulsam made one last request: that she tell Fleetmaster 'Kulul that [[Let 'Volir]] sends his regards.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
 
==Personality and traits==
Mahkee 'Chava describes herself as too impatient for the roles traditionally fulfilled by females within Sangheili culture. This impatience also shows itself in her role as a shipmistress, experiencing boredom while listening to the ranting of Orna 'Fulsam. She has somewhat of a penchant for sarcasm. Despite her self-admitted impatience, 'Chava is shown to be observant and calculating, noticing minor details and weighing outcomes before acting.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
