Meanwhile, a [[Kig-Yar]] privateer crew, led by [[Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]], was contracted by 'Telcam located ''Pious Inquisitor''. The Kig-Yar boarded the ''Inquisitor'' and attempted to commandeer the ship for themselves. Sinks, distrustful of the Kig-Yar and only compliant to Sentzke's orders, placed the ship in complete lock-down. Once Kilo-Five located the ship, Sentzke convinced Sinks to allow them to come onboard.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 398''</ref> Planning to escape, Sentzke had Vaz promise to take care of Naomi and in turn gave his word to cease his aggression against Earth.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 421''</ref> | Meanwhile, a [[Kig-Yar]] privateer crew, led by [[Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]], was contracted by 'Telcam located ''Pious Inquisitor''.

While Kilo-Five escaped to their dropships, Sentzke took a [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] from the shuttle bay but stayed in range to ensure Naomi was safe.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 445''</ref> Vaz requested BB to give Sentzke the file on Naomi's kidnapping to prove him right to his doubting family; BB complied and sent the files to Sentzke's Spirit. BB discovered Sinks had secretly rigged the Spirit with a miniature slipspace drive which would enable him and Sentzke to escape. Black-Box knew ONI would never stop hunting Sentzke if they knew he was alive and chose to erase his own recollection of the incident, leaving Kilo-Five to conclude that Sentzke had died when the ship exploded.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 452-456''</ref> | ||
With ''Pious Inquisitor'' no longer a threat, the mission was deemed a success. Kilo-Five was granted shore leave on [[Cascade]]. Vaz and Mal went to drink at a bar in the [[Old Admiralty Hotel]] in [[Kowloon]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 480''</ref> After returning aboard ''Port Stanley'', Vaz received an anonymous package in the mail. Naomi and the others gathered to inspect the contents, which were revealed to be a miniature chair for a doll's house Staffan was building for Naomi, and a [[planetarium lamp]] he had planned to give her on her sixth birthday. From this, Kilo-Five surmised that Sentzke was still alive, but they chose to honor their agreement with Sentzke and not inform the rest of ONI. | With ''Pious Inquisitor'' no longer a threat, the mission was deemed a success.

Like many ODSTs, Vaz displays a characteristic gung-ho attitude and strong camaraderie among his peers. However, he also holds strong personal concepts of right and wrong and is uncompromising in his moral views, having a tendency of seeing moral conflicts as black and white.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 261''</ref> As a result, he was greatly distraught after learning about the origins of the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] programs as well as the young age of the SPARTAN-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 400-401''</ref> His sense of justice can be quite extreme, as demonstrated when he planned on killing Dr. Halsey for the suffering caused as a result of the SPARTAN-II program, convinced that justice would never be served otherwise. | Like many ODSTs, Vaz displays a characteristic gung-ho attitude and strong camaraderie among his peers.

Due to having lost so many friends in the war, Vaz harbored a strong hatred for the [[Sangheili]] and privately believed it would be better if they were simply wiped out. This led to a number of arguments with [[Evan Phillips]], the team's expert on the Sangheili. | Due to having lost so many friends in the war, Vaz harbored a strong hatred for the [[Sangheili]] and privately believed it would be better if they were simply wiped out.
