===Early life and family=== | |||
Pelahsar was born on [[Sanghelios]] in [[921 BCE]] as the son of [[Mhelaat 'Orlam]], the [[First Kaidon]] who spoke for all of Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} During the decades-long [[War of Beginnings|war]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] [[Reformists]], 'Orlam was the first to advocate for the reverse-engineering of [[Forerunner]] technology, an ideal which flew in the face of the very tenet of their religion that had [[Desecration of Ulgethon|sparked]] the conflict.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P191|Enc22|Page=191}}{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} 'Orlam saw the utilization of Forerunner technology as his species' only hope against the San'Shyuum,{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} who continued to ravage [[Sangheili colonies|colony]] after colony from within their [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]].{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} However, the Sangheili resisted 'Orlam's push for change, and he was assassinated.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |||
===His father's footsteps=== | |||
Not all Sangheili disagreed with 'Orlam, however; Pelahsar himself would carry on his father's legacy, becoming personally involved in the development of a {{Pattern|R'sikosh|man o' war}} outfitted with Forerunner-derived weapons. Called the ''[[Reckless Pursuit]]'', its first test was so successful that it shifted public opinion on the application of Forerunner technology.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} In [[876 BCE]], Pelahsar the Strident wisely led the Sangheili in the widespread use of Forerunner weapons against the San'Shyuum.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} | |||
===War's end=== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Sanghelios}} | |||
When the San'Shyuum finally arrived in the [[Urs system]], they [[Battle of Sanghelios|ravaged]] Sanghelios and its two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s with the Dreanought. However, the Sangheili responded by deploying vessels armed with Forerunner-derived weapons,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} including the ''Reckless Pursuit'' itself.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} Under this barrage, the Dreadnought was shot down on [[Suban]], and held there with [[gravity anchor]]s as the Sangheili decided what should be done with the vessel and those inside.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} However, while trapped on Suban, a coup led by the San'Shyuum [[Breaking Shadow]] resulted in the assassination of [[Pervading Stone]], the leader of the Reformists who had refused to pursue peace with the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} In [[852 BCE]], Shadow led an unarmed delegation to meet with now-First Kaidon Pelahsar the Strident. The two leader formed a tenuous truce, forgiving the past crimes of their species and working to form a harmonious alliance, one that would soon be established by the [[Writ of Union]] and become known as the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} | |||
