Talk:Rtas 'Vadum

I have the book. This guy is Half-Jaw

Name Change

The Graphic Novel states that Half-Jaw/Spec Ops Commander are both Rtas 'Vadumee. The title should be changed.

Shorthand name

It's been established in Halo: The Flood that Elites shorten their names to the second part. If you're going to shorten his name, it will be "'Vadumee", not "Rtas". -ED 15:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Name

When is his name revealed? One of the books? Also, how is it pronounced? Salty 05:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

His name is apparently revealed in Halo Graphic Novel, since there's a story with him in it. I'd pronounce it with a gentle 'r' (lower case) sound at the beginning and then the rest as it's spelt. I know it could be a problem if you're not used to pronouncing funny words. J.f 4 September 10:31

I don't see how to pronounce the R without a vowel on either side, and say "er-tas" even though I know it's probably inaccurate. --Dragonclaws 10:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Hah hah, I have always pronounced it with emphasis on the R. To me it sounds like AR-tas. -ED 01:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

To be honest sometimes i pronounce it artas because it's easier -J.f

Am i the only one to pronuonce it like "Retas"?

Too many quotes!!!

So many quotes make it look to tacky--207.28.99.145 18:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I contributed some of his quotes, but only the "quotish" sounding ones. I was not the person who included the quotes of every single thing he ever said in the "Heretic" and "Oracle" missions and I think somebody should get rid of some of them. -User:J.f

Okay, I removed some of the quotes just now but it still might need trimming a bit --.J.f 19:29 25 September 2006

Removed Quotes

• "Even now they use our lords' creations to broadcast their lies!"
• "Bring the Phantoms closer to mine. We're not leaving until the leader of these heretics is dead. Arbiter, the Flood have spread throughout the station! We don't have enough troops to manage such a large infestation."
• "The storm has masked our approach, and it should have their local battlenet in disarray."
• "Are you still alive, Arbiter? We're keeping pace as best we can!"

Served on the fleet of Particular Justice?

Eye color

For your information, all elites have a distinct eye color. The only reason why and elites eye color apears to be brown or black is because of how they are wearing eye pieces or eye patches used for targeting and zooming. Since they wear an eye patch, unless you could remove them, all sangheili eyes will apear to be black or dark brown. To prove this, on the very first cutscene in halo 2 before the level The armory, in the council meeting to determine the fate of the future arbiter, look at the arbiters eyes and you will notice they are black. That helps prove that elites do wear eyes pieces as when arbiter recieves his ceremonial armor he is no longer wearing his eye pieces therefor, his eyes are an amber and orange. -- User:Halo3 01:05, 25 December 2006
