Hulon 'Budyasee

Hulon 'Budyasee was a Sangheili officer within the Covenant's fleet and the shipmaster of Sacred Whisper, an intrusion corvette attached to the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience.

Biography
During the early stages of the Human-Covenant War, Hulon 'Budyasee served the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience as shipmaster of Sacred Whisper, during Fleetmaster Nizat 'Kvarosee's campaign across the human Outer Colonies. In March 2526, Sacred Whisper was assigned to the Bloodstars, a kai'd commanded by First Blade Tel 'Szatulai to hunt down the Spartan-IIs that troubled the fleet and investigate a possible alliance with the United Rebel Front against the United Nations Space Command. In this capacity, 'Budyasee's Sacred Whisper served as the flagship of the first blade.

The Bloodstars soon traveled to Biko to meet with the United Rebel Front, where 'Budyasee and 'Szatulai witnessed several UNSC prowlers cloaking before them and disappearing from the ship's sensors. Surprised by the capabilities of human stealth technology, 'Szatulai ordered for the shipmaster to shoot down one of the prowlers. However, 'Budyasee was reluctant for the attack would reveal the flotilla's presence and prevent their rendezvous with the human rebels. Dismissing the entire rendezvous for a trap, the first blade asserted his authority and had 'Budyasee carry out the order, believing the prowlers to be a danger to the fleet. Sacred Whisper shot down, the flagship of Captain Halima Ascot.

Personality and traits
A cautious commander, he was confident in his prowess and comfortable in his position as shipmaster of Sacred Whisper, traits that troubled Tel 'Szatulai, who found the shipmaster to be smug and overconfident in his abilities. Despite this, the shipmaster proved to be courageous and dutiful, questioning the orders of 'Szatulai when 'Budyasee feared that the orders would endanger his crew—arguing even when he knew it may cost him his own life.

Hulon 'Budyasee was a stocky, block-faced Sangheili with blunt-ended mandibles. In his nineties, he was overweight and twice the girth of 'Szatulai.
