Drifts Randomly was once a member of the [[Covenant]], serving the empire's [[San'Shyuum]] [[Asceticism#Ascetic priests|ascetic priests]] who searched and examined the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] that resided within the center of [[High Charity]], the Covenant's capital city. After the dissolution of the Covenant at the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552]], a majority of Huragok either perished or fled. However, Drifts Randomly was one of the few Huragok that remained with the [[Sangheili]] and, by [[2555]], had aligned himself with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].<ref name="hitd69"/>

{{Quote|When the Arbiter heard of the plight we all now face, this particular Huragok was the only one that seemed remotely acceptable to him.

Around [[2555#March|March 8, 2555]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] informed the Swords of Sanghelios that the [[Halo Array]]'s firing sequence had been activated and counting down to fire in five weeks. In response, a joint force of UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios soldiers and scientists were tasked with traveling to [[Installation 00]] to stop the firing sequence—[[Operation: FAR STORM]]. Believing that the [[Portal at Voi|slipspace portal]] at [[Voi]], [[Kenya]] on [[Earth]] was the best way to reach the Ark, [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] selected Drifts Randomly to be deployed to Earth to help reactivate the portal, as 'Vadam believed that Drifts' prior experience with the Forerunner Dreadnought that opened the same portal would enable him to do so.
