 Thel was born Thel 'Vadam to the [[Vadam family]], rulers of the powerful State of Vadam on Sanghelios. As a young Sangheili, Thel was trained in the ways of the warrior by his relative [[Lak 'Vadamee]].<ref name="tcp349">'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 349''</ref> He joined the Covenant military, earning him the right to use the "-ee" suffix, which is added to a Sangheilian name upon joining the military. Thel fought alongside the Covenant when they attacked [[Madrigal]] in [[2528]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 146 and 156''</ref>

-Soon after being promoted to Ship master, Thel suffered an injury in the training ring due to a mistake. His family hushed up the incident, as well as the resultant visit by a doctor, due to Sangheili culture equating the loss of blood and medical operation by a doctor with a loss of honor. During his convalescence, Thel handmade an old-fashioned [[doarmir]]-fur Ship master's cloak, wearing it always to remind him that he could make grave mistakes if he let his guard down.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 159''</ref>

 ===Life as Kaidon===

 Thel's life as Kaidon was important for the Vadam family, as he was tasked with continuing the reign of the powerful state of Vadam. Early in his rule, he was attacked by three Sangheili assassins wielding Energy Swords. He managed to kill all three without even being scratched, but reported that he left one alive in order to determine who ordered the attack. He then killed one of the Vadam elders, [[Koida 'Vadam|Koida]], for ordering the failed assassination, and ordered all of his line to leave the keep by sunrise.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 83-94''</ref>
-Thel was sent to [[Charybdis IX]] with command over ''Retribution's Thunder'' to participate in the [[Battle of Charybdis IX]], whilst being overseen by the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]]. He and several other Sangheili boarded the {{UNSC Ship|Do You Feel Lucky?}} and attempted to get to the vessel's navigation database, but it had been purged before they were even aboard. He left and witnessed the destruction of the ship before being called to the ''[[Infinite Sacrifice]]'', where he met Regret in person. He was told of the humans wielding modified Covenant weapons, and that this was most likely the [[Kig-yar]]'s doing. He was then sent to the [[23 Librae]] system to track down the source of the weapon traders, along with the Jiralhanae and Kig-yar vessel, ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 138-148''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 153''</ref>

 As he arrived at 23 Librae, his ship came under attack by ''A Psalm Every Day''. Thel and his crew were shocked: so shocked that ''A Psalm Every Day'' fired another salvo, disabling their weapons, communications and engines. ''A Psalm Every Day'' escaped while Kig-yar boarding craft and Spirits started attacking and strafing the hull. Thel, increasingly frustrated, gave permission for any of his crew to abandon ship. However, this was a simple move of him in order to weed out the weaker Sangheili and eliminate them, as the Kig-yar boarding craft and Spirits were able to destroy any Sangheili Spirits attempting to fly away. Thel then ordered the destruction of ''The Retribution's Thunder'', which killed all the boarding Kig-yar.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 155-163''</ref> Thel, however, survived and was captured by Kig-yar forces, along with most of the bridge crew. He and most of the bridge crew managed to escape and hijack a [[Kig-yar shuttle]],<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 169-172''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 187-190''</ref> taking them to [[Unnamed Kig-yar transport|another Kig-yar vessel]].
