As it turns out he was one of the few [[Unggoy]] able to apply for a [[Deaconship]] because of his IQ. | ||

Their attacks on Human vessels had attracted the attention of the [[ONI]], [[Staff Sergeant Nolan Byrne]] and (then) Staff Sergeant [[Avery Junior Johnson]], who were under the command of [[Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni]] at the time. Dadab escaped the ship's destruction along with his friend, the [[Huragok]], Lighter Than Some, who risked his own life to produce breathable methane for Dadab, to keep him alive on their journey. Dadab and Lighter Than Some were rescued by the [[Brute]]-controlled ship ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. While on board, Dadab was the ship's deacon, preaching to the other Grunts onboard the ship. He befriended one of the most promising members of his ministry, [[Bapap]]. His message of salvation through the [[Great Journey]] was not accepted by all the other Grunts, as he was often at odds with the grizzled Grunt Flim. He and Bapap fought the humans on the Tiara, with Dadab staying by Bapap's side after he was injured. After [[Tartarus]] arrived and rescued Dadab, he asked Tartarus to help save his wounded comrade, who responded by shooting a spike into Bapap, killing him. This unexpected betrayal shocked the Deacon and began to instrument his hatred towards the Chieftain. | Their attacks on Human vessels had attracted the attention of the [[ONI]], [[Staff Sergeant Nolan Byrne]] and (then) Staff Sergeant [[Avery Junior Johnson]], who were under the command of [[Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni]] at the time.

He tried to get Lighter Than Some to realize the error of his ways, but Lighter Than Some was unrepentant. Later, after Lighter Than Some's killing by the [[Drone]] mechanics because of their jealousy of his abilities, Dadab (after killing the [[Drone]] murderers) swore to stop all the senseless fighting by killing the [[Chieftain]], Tartarus, who had started the fight with the humans. He managed to take his shields down with an overcharged [[Plasma Shot]] causing Tartarus to be injured by human fire, but was then killed by Tartarus wielding the [[Fist of Rukt]]. | ||
It is said he simply disappeared under the hammer's weight, so it seems his death was quick, at the very least. [[Sergeant Johnson]] witnessed this spectacle and it puzzled him greatly, thinking the overcharged Plasma Pistol shot was intended for him. | It is said he simply disappeared under the hammer's weight, so it seems his death was quick, at the very least.
