Biography
"Orna 'Fulsamee"

- Bako 'Ikaporamee

When Orna 'Fulsamee was very, young, he often hunted squealing rodent-like creatures, blooding them with his bare claws. He eventually rose to be an officer in the Covenant Navy and the shipmaster of the destroyer Blameless Conceit. The Blameless Conceit was attached to the Fleet of Particular Justice in August 2552, during the Ninth Age of Reclamation by Covenant reckoning. As such, Orna 'Fulsamee witnessed the Fall of Reach on August 30 and subsequently traveled through slipspace with the rest of the fleet in pursuit of the. Having arrived in the Soell system near the gas giant Threshold and Installation 04 prior to the, 'Fulsamee assumed that the humans had followed them, rather than the fleet pursuing the humans.

As soon as the vessel appeared 'Fulsamee had a wave of fighters launched against it. Standing in the center of the Blameless Conceit's control room, he mentioned his supposition concerning its presence to the Prophet of Stewardship and promised him that the one responsible for allowing them to being followed would be found and executed. The prophet's Sangheili assistant, Bako 'Ikaporamee, speaking for his superior, offered an alternate hypothesis: that the humans, like all sentient beings, were just unconsciously drawn to the glory of the Forerunners’ truth and knowledge. 'Fulsamee found the notion hard to believe, but begrudgingly accepted it as true since 'Ikaporamee spoke for the prophet. 'Fulsamee then began to issue orders for the readying of plasma torpedoes so that they could be fired at the cruiser on his command, but 'Ikaporamee told him that Stewardship forbade such aggression du to the undue risk it may cause to the nearby holy relic. Instead, he told 'Fulsamee to pursue the humans' ship so it might be boarded and taken over. Angered at the interference and the high casualties the change in plans would produce, the shipmaster nevertheless canceled his prior order and gave different ones, saying to load four transports with troops and to launch another flight of fighters so that the ship's weaponry could be neutralized to clear the way for boarding craft. 'Fulsamee continued to command the Blameless Conceit during the battle that soon erupted on the surface of the ring.

He would survive the conflict on Alpha Halo, but his hatred against the humans would continue, ultimately driving him to join into the Banished.

- Orna 'Fulsamee questions the reasoning of the Prophet of Stewardship's command that the Pillar of Autumn be boarded.

As was common for Sangheili like himself, Orna 'Fulsamee appeared larger than he actually was while wearing armor which gave him an angular, somewhat hunched appearance. This, in addition to a heavy, pugnacious jaw, caused him to look like the very dangerous warrior he was. 'Fulsamee could make his voice very calm and well modulated when he needed to.

He strongly believed that humans were filthy beings that were not deserving even of being named. He was revulsed and galled to his core at the fact that the prophets had named them and their ships, as he believed names implied legitimacy. The vermin, as humans were thought of to 'Fulsamee, merited only extermination. He likewise was incensed that the humans in turn had given their own names to the Sangheili and other races of the Covenant in what he saw as their harsh, barbaric tongue. Despite his feelings toward these things, he believed it was not his place to question the decrees of the prophets whom had bestowed the labels they had and that to do so would amount to disgraceful dereliction of duty. Despite his faith in the prophets, 'Fulsamee still could not help but think the San'Shyuum Prophet of Stewardship reminded him like creatures he had hunted as a child. He also was frequently angered by Stewardship's assistant, Bako 'Ikaporamee, particularly for what he viewed as condescension on his part. He also was annoyed by 'Ikaporamee's tendency to use the royal "we" when speaking for the prophet. When his patience was tried, he habitually would recite one of the True Sayings to himself.

'Fulsamee valued the lives of those in his charge and was angered when he was forced to put them in harm's way unnecessarily. Though he did believe dying for the cause of the Covenant was something to be sought after, he thought that more should be aspired to than just that.
