Usze 'Taham is an independent | Usze 'Taham is an independent, resourceful, and vigilant [[Sangheili]].<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 137'' (2011)</ref> Usze is notably honorable, and was considered worthy enough to be recruited by the [[Ascetics]]. He is known to display a tempered zeal in combat that is considered to be unusual for a warrior of his relatively young age.<ref name="universe"/> Usze preferred to anticipate situations and problems and remain constantly on guard, rather than react to and deal with an unexpected situation as it occurred.<ref name="hitd52"/> Usze rarely chose to sit, as he believed that the action lacked a purpose and only contributed to a lack of preparedness to an unexpected difficulty.<ref name="hitd98"/> He declined his invitation to join the [[Covenant Honor Guard]] as he felt that his skills could be best used elsewhere. Additionally, Usze held less interest in ceremonial positions and honorable titles than in personal deeds and actions. He believes that he was born to fight, which he realizes that he does quite capably.<ref name="hitd87"/> Usze attempts to never hold regret in regards to how he handles a situation, but instead looks at the victories drawn from the situation's outcome.<ref name="hitd298"/> Usze found [[human]] laughter to be "ridiculous"; he believes humans only appear threatened or frightened when they express laughter.<ref name="hitd98"/> | ||
Usze apparently holds some diplomatic skills, as he was twice approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons for the [[Covenant]],<ref name="Coop"/> and later the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. He was also selected by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] to serve as an emissary of sorts to the [[Unified Earth Government]], during joint missions between the two governments.<ref name="hitd87"/> Usze has little to no disdain for humans; even after spending the entirety of his service in the Covenant slaughtering humans, he recognized that they had committed no crimes as the [[San'Shyuum]] decreed.<ref name="hitd46"/> Usze, as a warrior, held that ending the life of another individual was a grave responsibility, nor did he feel any pleasure from killing—particularly if he respected the said individual. However, he never experienced any pangs of regret, as Usze felt content with successfully completing a mission.<ref name="hitd52"/> Over the course of his return to the Ark, Usze developed a sense of respect for [[Olympia Vale]], finding her to be interesting.<ref name="hitd98"/> After the mission, Usze comforted Vale aboard ''[[Mayhem]]'', who was saddened that her diplomatic skills proved useless against [[000 Tragic Solitude]].<ref name="hitd298"/> 'Taham came to respect [[Luther Mann]] and [[Henry Lamb]], and was saddened upon his death. Stating that Lamb was a comrade and a warrior, Usze encouraged Mann to mourn the death of his friend.<ref name="hitd236"/> | Usze apparently holds some diplomatic skills, as he was twice approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons for the [[Covenant]],<ref name="Coop"/> and later the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].
