Orim ‘Kasaan was born on the Sangheili colony world of [[Glyke]]. At some point in his life, he married a female called [[Aumra]]. Like all Sangheili males, he would enlist himself into the ranks of the [[Covenant military]]. Eventually, he became a [[Special Operations Officer]] in the [[Special Warfare Group]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

In [[2553]], Glyke was [[Operation: SUNSPEAR|destroyed]] in a [[NOVA bomb]] detonation initiated by [[Gray Team]]. The greatest devastation he felt was not from the violent destruction of his homeworld, but in the gradual unraveling of his marriage in the unsettled years that followed.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

By early [[2560]], the Special Operations Sangheili had been assigned a leadership role within a joint Swords of Sanghelios-[[UNSC]] team under the command of [[Fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]], one of the leaders of the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]]. During the [[Banished]] [[Battle of Suban|assault]] on [[Suban]], Orim 'Kasaan and [[Fahl 'Nto]] were given command of a Swords taskforce with the goal of reclaiming the [[Mines of Shua'ree]] from the invaders. Prior to the operation, 'Kasaan operated a [[Phantom]] and hid in lower depths of the quarry until the opportunity presents itself, while 'Nto led an advance scout team consisting of Spartans [[Glyyss]] and [[Trell]] of [[Fireteam Jorogumo]] and the [[Kig-Yar]] named [[Dahks]]. After scouting out the mine's entrance from a distance, 'Nto ordered Dahks to hold position and provide overwatch before telling Glyyss to notify [[Jaarov]] and [[Zhinn]]—the other two Spartans participating in the mission—that they would be ready shortly and that 'Kasaan could approach with his dropship.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

As the Swords of Sanghelios forces swept through mines and slaughtered the mostly Sangheili Banished infantry, [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Ipso]] appeared alongside two [[Jiralhanae]] [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]]s. Orim attempted to warn 'Nto about the Chieftain before they clashed. As Ipso killed Glyyss, plasma fire came from Orim's Phantom, forcing Ipso to retreat, giving Jaarov and Zhinn the chance to recover the body of their fallen comrade. Orim 'Kasaan rushed over to Fahl 'Nto and urged him to get up so that they could leave. As the Swords of Sanghelios retreated, [[Koal 'Mal]] demanded that they not give up the attack, saying that all the blood they spilled would be for naught. 'Nto, however, pointed out that ''kemuksuru'' would not be the deciding factor in this battle and that they would return to reclaim the Mines of Shua'ree when the time was right.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

Orim ‘Kasaan is a careful and deliberate meditation and council with  his allies. He has shown to be a staunch supporter of Thel 'Vadam's vision of a unified Sangheili people. He has also been shown to be quick in forgiving humanity following the destruction of Glyke, a decision that has placed him greatly at odds with his life-mate Aumra.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

Their estrangement affects Orim deeply, so much so that he actively strives to not let it consume him, reminding himself each day that he must sacrifice his own desires to secure a better future for the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

Orim 'Kasaan wears an [[infiltration harness]], clad primarily in silver, with orange and gold as secondary, representing his allegiance to the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. He wields a {{Pattern|Meluth'qelos|energy sword}}.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

Orim 'Kasaan's relation to [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] is unknown, though they are presumably of the same clan. However, there are multiple typos in his surname throughout the text of ''[[Halo: Battle for the Blood-Moon]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
