In [[2552]], 'Baoth began receiving secret communications from his brother, who was serving under [[Sesa 'Refumee]]'s forces while exploring a [[Forerunner]] [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] orbiting the gas giant [[Threshold]].

After the [[Human-Covenant War]] came to a close, 'Vadam personally met with 'Baoth and informed him that he was responsible for his brother's death. As a form of restitution, 'Vadam offered him a place as a Ranger in the emerging [[Swords of Sanghelios]], an offer that 'Baoth quickly accepted.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} | ||

In late [[2559]], three days after [[Cortana]] had [[Razing of Oth Sonin|destroyed]] the Jiralhanae homeworld of [[Doisac]], Arbiter Thel Vadam held a [[High Gathering|gathering]] with [[kaidon|kaidon]]s from several [[Sangheili colonies]] to propose a [[Concert of Worlds]], wanting to further unify the Sangheili and take their fate into their own hands rather than submitting to the rule of Cortana's [[Created]]. Kola 'Baoth, Usze 'Taham, and N'tho 'Sraom served as escorts to and from the meeting, which had concluded with little progress made.

Kola 'Baoth, Usze 'Taham, and N'tho 'Sraom served as escorts to and from the meeting, which had concluded with little progress made. The four Sangheili returned to [[Vadam Keep]] in a [[Crav]] operated by N'tho while Kola and Usze kept watch on their surroundings. As they passed through the [[Old Borough]] of [[Vadam Valley]], the Crav was stopped by a patrol of Created [[armiger]]s looking for participants of a recent altercation. Although his associates were reluctant, 'Vadam consented to a search of the Crav. During the search, the group's weapons were confiscated, to the outrage of Kola and the others. Realizing that striking down the armigers would likely result in a chain of events ending with the arrival of a [[Guardian Custode]], 'Vadam had his men back down.{{Ref/Reuse|Out1}} | ||
Once they returned to Vadam Keep, the Arbiter was informed that [[Oath Warden]] [[Crei 'Ayomuu]] had come to speak with him. Kola and Usze escorted Crei into the keep's Grand Gallery and remained in the chamber as he spoke with the Arbiter. The two warriors listened as Crei told Thel that the destruction had been caused by armiger forces searching for his own target, a [[human]] [[Xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaeologist]] named [[Keely Iyuska]], who was said to have discovered evidence of something on [[Netherop]] that could defeat the Guardians.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out2|Out|Chapter=2}} | |||
