House of 'Vadam

Vadam is a Sangheili family. They lived in the State of Vadam, a relatively young yet powerful state in Yermo, Sangheilios. Their Kaidon during the Human-Covenant War was Thel 'Vadamee, who would soon be the Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice, and later the Arbiter.

All members of this group held the surname "Vadam" and if joined the Covenant earned the '-ee' suffix therefore would be named, "Vadamee."

Koida 'Vadam was executed by Thel 'Vadam because he sent 3 assassins to try to kill him.

Origins
Vadam Keep apparently stands on Kolaar Mountain, Sangheilios and was founded during the Sangheili's first exploratory age. At a time, the house was captured by an opposing "Clan" and the Sangheili of Vadam were forced to rot within their own fortresse's dungeons. A Vadam Sangheili soon escaped, however due to the fact that he was skinny enough to slide through his cell's bars. He soon grew in power and returned to what was rightfully his with a large army in tow. He killed all those who had imprisoned him and then killed those of Vadam who had been foolish enough not to commit suicide within their cell.

This passage of Sangheili history demonstrates the Sangheili harsh lifestyle and honor-based society.
