Thel, like most Sangheili, held an obsession with honor and tradition for most of his adult life. However, he was more flexible than his peers when it came to the tactics that he used, and in particular showed a keen interest in human weapons even before the Great Schism. His personality changed greatly during the Great Schism. While once zealous and unquestioningly obedient to the Prophets' will, after learning of the true nature of the Halo rings, he became more open-minded and accepting of the humans, his former enemies. His experiences as Arbiter also made him more pragmatic than most Sangheili, being willing to accept help from the UNSC in fending off an assault on his keep. | Thel, like most Sangheili, held an obsession with honor and tradition for most of his adult life.

As noted by Jameson Locke, Thel was an incredibly brilliant commander, known for utilizing advanced tactics that made his fleet unstoppable. At some point prior to his failure at Installation 04, he became so trusted by his subordinates that [[Sesa 'Refumee]] considered him to be the only individual that he would trust with [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s revelations, though Thel's appointment as Arbiter prevented any detailed conversations. Even so, however, he was able to comprehend the same message when it was told to him by the [[Gravemind]], [[John-117]], and [[343 Guilty Spark]]. | |||
After the Battle of Installation 04, he was ashamed for his failure at Halo, and wished only regain his honor before dying for the Prophets. After the betrayal of Tartarus and his encounter with the Gravemind, he remained stubbornly attached to his faith. However, when he heard the truth of the sacred rings from 343 Guilty Spark, he finally accepted the truth surrounding the Great Journey. | After the Battle of Installation 04, he was ashamed for his failure at Halo, and wished only regain his honor before dying for the Prophets.
