On January 21, 2558, 'Telcam was in a ruined city on New Llanelli with a group of his followers when [[SPARTAN-G059]] | On [[2558#January|January 21, 2558]], 'Telcam was in a ruined city on New Llanelli with a group of his followers, when the Office of Naval Intelligence's [[Section Three]] authorized 'Telcam's [[Assassination of Avu Med 'Telcam|assassination]] at the hands of [[SPARTAN-G059]]. Arriving in the city after being deployed from the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} {{UNSCShip|From the Ashes}}, SPARTAN-G059 eliminated 'Telcam's Kig-Yar scouts and [[Unggoy]] guards. Arriving at 'Telcam's location in a ruined tower, the [[Spartan-III]] burst into the room and engaged 'Telcam and his two Sangheili guards. After a brief skirmish, the Spartan quickly killed the guards and engaged 'Telcam himself. 'Telcam open fired upon the Spartan with a [[Type-51 carbine]], though was forced to take cover within a [[Z-4190 bubble shield]] when SPARTAN-G059 threw an [[M9 fragmentation grenade]] at the Sangheili. The Spartan rushed the Sangheili and knocked the carbine out of his grip, though 'Telcam was able to slam the Spartan into a wall. SPARTAN-G059 recovered and rushed 'Telcam, knocking his [[Type-1 energy sword]] from his hand just as the Sangheili had activated the blade. The Spartan maneuvered around 'Telcam using agility and armor thrusters, eventually knocking the Sangheili to the ground. As 'Telcam picked himself up, SPARTAN-G059 finally executed the Bishop himself with a single [[M6 series|pistol]] shot to the head.<ref name="ktb"/> | ||
