{{Quote|I was able to convince a Covenant Grunt to tell me how they tracked the Arbiter's movements. Murok 'Vadam, of the Arbiter's keep. The Covenant promised him power and prestige, a desperate ploy from a dying faction.|Mahlo 'Turagg{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}}}}
'''Murok 'Vadam''' was a [[Sangheili]] of the [[House of 'Vadam]], the same [[clan]] of [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], leader of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}}

==Biography==
{{Quote|Murok did not resist when he was questioned. Perhaps he thought the Arbiter would not execute a member of his own clan. He was wrong.|Mahlo 'Turagg{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}}}}
Murok 'Vadam was born in the state of [[Vadam]] to the noble [[House of 'Vadam]] on [[Sanghelios]], the homeworld of the [[Sangheili]]. He resided in [[Vadam keep]], alongside [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], the leader of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[kaidon]] of Vadam.{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}}

In [[2558#October|October 2558]], Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and his Swords of Sanghelios secretly convened within the [[Elder Council Chamber]] in the [[Nuusra]] territory to prepare for their final efforts to rid [[Sanghelios]] of [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]. Desperately needed an advantage over the Swords of Sanghelios, the Covenant promised 'Vadam power and prestige in exchange for the location of where the Arbiter and his soldiers were meeting, to give the Covenant an opportunity to assassinate the Arbiter. Failing to recognize that the severely weakened state of the Covenant could do little to give him what they promised, 'Vadam informed the Covenant that the Arbiter and his soldiers were at Nuursa's Elder Council Chamber.{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}} However, 'Vadam's attempted betrayal failed in the resulting [[Battle of Nuusra]] when [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] of [[Fireteam Osiris]] came to the aid of the Arbiter at the chamber and they were extracted back to the Swords of Sanghelios' encampment elsewhere in Nuusra.{{Ref/Level|H5G|Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios}}

Interrogating a Covenant [[Unggoy]] in an effort to learn how the Covenant had located the Arbiter at the Elder Council Chamber, Sword of Sanghelios security officer [[Mahlo 'Turagg]] learned that 'Vadam had betrayed them and 'Turagg promptly informed the Arbiter. When Thel confronted him, Murok made no attempt to hide his betrayal, believing that the Arbiter would not execute a member of his own [[clan]]. Murok was mistaken, as Thel proceeded to kill him. 'Turagg documented the event in his [[data pad]] and these notes were later accessed by members of Fireteam Osiris.{{Ref/Reuse|Intel}}

==Trivia==
The death of Murok is similar to the betrayal of [[Koida 'Vadam]], who attempted to have the Kaidon assassinated immediately after he assumed the position.

Thel killing Murok is similar to when he murdered [[Koida 'Vadam]]. Both betrayed Thel in the hopes of having him killed, and both failed. In the end, Thel killed the two (though he had not Murok's lineage banished from [[Vadam]]).
