Thel 'Vadam: Difference between revisions

Line 211:

The name Thel 'Vadam was established in the novel ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''. While the narrative does not explicitly connect the character with the Arbiter introduced in ''Halo 2'', his assignment to the Fleet of Particular Justice is referenced near the end of the novel. Much later, Halo Waypoint confirmed that Thel 'Vadamee was indeed the future Arbiter.{{Citation needed}}

The Arbiter wears mandible guards in ''Halo 3'' despite lacking them in ''Halo 2'' and ''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''. ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' depicts 'Vadam in the likeness of ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Elites, most notably through the light tone and sparse texture of his skin. ''Halo 2 Anniversary'' ignores this overhaul, though he does wear his armor from the comic series in the "bookend" cutscenes—albeit with an open helmet with fixed mandible guards.
