Dadab

Dadab was a Grunt with the rank of Deacon onboard the Covenant missionary ship Minor Transgression under the command of Ship-mistress Chur'R-Yar. He had a fairly friendly relationship with Lighter Than Some, and learned some Huragok sign language during the time they shared on the ship. He was promoted to the rank of Deacon because of his above-average intelligence and he could both understand the Covenant Writs of Union and help explain them to others. While on the Minor Transgression, he was alarmed when the sensors registered what looked like millions of Forerunner artifacts. These were later proved to be the humans, as they were the successors of the Forerunners. While Dadab was onboard the Minor Transgression, they attacked several human vessels, a course of action that resulted in the Minor Transgression's destruction. Dadab escaped the ship's destruction along with his friend, the Huragok Lighter Than Some. Dadab and Lighter Than Some were rescued by the Brute-controlled ship Rapid Conversion. While onboard the Rapid Conversion, Dadab was the ship's deacon, preaching to the other Unggoy onboard the ship. He had a small part in the battle of Harvest, and discovered that his friend, Lighter Than Some had committed several heresies. He tried to get Lighter Than Some to realize the error of his ways, but Lighter Than Some was unrepentant. After Lighter Than Some's execution for heresy, Dadab swore to avenge his friend by killing the Chieftain Tartarus, who had order Lighter Than Some's death. He manged to take his shields down with an overcharged plasma shot but was then killed by a Fist of Rukt-wielding Tartarus. It is said he simply disappeared under the hammer's weight, so it seems his death was quick at least. Sergeant Johnson witnessed this spectacle and it puzzled him greatly, thinking the overcharged plasma pistol shot was intended for him.
