Jul 'Mdama

Jul 'Mdama is Sangheili and a former Covenant Shipmaster in the post-Human-Covenant War era.

Biography
He was born in the state of State of Mdama on Sanghelios and never knew who his father was. Years later he would marry Raia, having two sons, Dural and Asum, who also didn't know that he was their father, and a few daughters. While he was away at war, he left estate management to Raia and her grandbrother, Naxan.

After the war, he still felt mistrust and resentment toward humanity, comparing them to the Flood in some respects, believing the species wouldn't stop their colonization efforts. He did, however, grudgingly admit that while they weren't the best at anything, they were good enough at everything to survive.

In January 2553, he attended a meeting with the Kaidon Levu 'Mdama and the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam. He asked the Arbiter what his plans were for the humans and expressed his desire to finish them off while they were still recovering. After Vadam announced he will try to make peace with the humans, he and fellow shipmaster Forze decided that humanity wouldn't change and that they must stop them.

‘Mdama and Forze then allied with Avu Med 'Telcam purely out of pragmatism, as the Servants of Abiding Truth are best-equipped to assassinate Thel 'Vadam. After stealing the frigate Unflinching Resolve, ‘Mdama became suspicious of 'Telcam's benefactors, and secretly followed him to New Llanelli. After he discovered 'Telcam receiving weapons from the Office of Naval Intelligence, ‘Mdama was discovered and captured by Naomi-010. Detained onboard the, he was interrogated by Evan Phillips and the shipboard AI, Black-Box. ‘Mdama was then transferred to ONI Research Facility Trevelyan, where Dr. Magnusson "welcomed" him.

Trivia
After 'Mdama's capture, one of the ODSTs noted that it sounded like he was saying "blarg". This is a reference to the Red vs. Blue machinima series, as the Sangheili in it only say "blarg" and "honk".
