'Qualomee

'Qualomee was a Covenant Elite assigned to Installation 04 in the 9th Age of Reclamation. After the Pillar of Autumn was shot down over the Halo, 'Qualomee was captured by the Marine and ODST forces who survived.

Becoming rather disillusioned about the Covenant, 'Qualomee told Captain Keyes and Fireteam Charlie during an interrogation that he had been part of a group that had delivered a shipment of weapons to a structure in the swamps of the installation.

'Qualomee was killed when he was taken aboard the Truth and Reconciliation after that ship was captured by the humans. He was likely consumed by the Flood that was released or died in the catastrophic explosion of Installation 04.

''NOTE: 'Qualomee likely has a "first" name like most Elites, but it is never mentioned, nor is his rank. It is also unknown if 'Qualomee actually knew that the Flood were in the swamp, or if he had merely intended to send Keyes into a Covenant strong point. It is implied at this point in the book that the Covenant did not tell most of their soldiers about the Flood until they tried to evacuate the ring entirely.''
