'''Inslaan 'Gadogai''' (born '''Azl ‘Lamoul''') is a shrewd, cunning, and short-tempered [[Sangheili]] [[blademaster]] serving the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. He was a veteran of the [[Silent Shadow]] during the time of the [[Covenant]], before rebelling against the [[High Prophet of Truth]] and [[Tartarus|Tartarus']] [[Jiralhanae]] leadership at the onset of the [[Great Schism]]. By [[2559]] he was a mercenary serving the [[Banished]] as an eye for [[Escharum]], before leaving them in favor of [[Castor]] and the Keepers of the One Freedom.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFPUmbra|https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/pen-umbra|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Pen Umbra|D=28|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} Following the failed attempt at firing the [[Halo Array]], he and Castor were left as the only survivors of the Keepers of the One Freedom.{{Ref/Novel|DW}}

Born on the fortress world of [[Saepon'kal]], the Sangheili who would become Inslaan ‘Gadogai was originally known as '''Azl ‘Lamoul'''. He was a member of the [[Moul clan]], a powerful house of the seventeen keeps in the Varo state. He was the eldest son the Matriarch of the Moul keep and would eventually be mentored by its Kaidon. In time, he became as adept in personal combat as he was in administration. When the ruling Kaidon intended to abdicate, Azl was greatly favored to be chosen as the next Kaidon of his clan, and so he traveled to the client keeps to cement their support.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HDW8|HDW|Chapter=8}}

Upon his return to the Moul keep, he learned that the Kaidon was abdicating his position. The elders of his keep named ‘Lamoul as his successor, but also named Unavaro, niece to the Marshal of Varo, as Matriarch. Azl rejected the proposal and announced his intentions with Olabisiz.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW8}}

Before the Kaidon and matriarch could consent to ’Lamoul’s desires, the Marshal of Varo led a coup against the Moul clan. With the aid of a treacherous member of the clan, the Marshal sent assassins into the keep and slaughtered anyone who bore the blood of the Kaidon and the Matriarch, all except Azl. The assassins drugged-darted and imprisoned him, denying him the chance to die with the rest of his family.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW8}}

During his early service to the [[Covenant]], his ferocity on the battlefield caught the attention of the [[Silent Shadow]] and was invited to join their ranks. He accepted their invitation, with the intention of returning to [[Saepon'kal]] to save Olabisi and to kill the Marshal of Varo.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW8}}

Inslaan 'Gadogai has developed a pattern of short-term relationships with factions, moving from faction to faction over time.
