He is the son of Raia and Jul ‘Mdama, although he does not know who his father is as it is custom for Sangheili not to reveal the name of the father, so that they are solely judged on their abilities and not their heritage. He and his brother Asum lived in the State of Mdama and were taught combat by Naxan in the Bekan Keep. Following the death of his mother, he swore to exact vengeance on her killers and vowed to fight humans, as they supported the Arbiter and posed a threat to Sanghelios.[1] Feeling responsible for his mother's death, Avu Med 'Telcam took Dural on as an apprentice.[3] By the Battle of Requiem Dural had become a leading member of the Servants of the Abiding Truth under the name Pale Blade.[2]
