In March 2553, the Arbiter greeted Phillips in Vadam. Phillips requested a tour of Sanghelios' most ancient cities to which Thel approved and assigned Phillips an escort, [[Cadan 'Ilmir]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 425''</ref> Not long after, they lost Phillips in [[Ontom]] after dissident Jiralhanae detonated an explosive in the state. In the wake of this uprising, 'Telcam and the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]] launched their attack on the state of Vadam. 'Vadam was later contacted by Lord Hood who informed him that he could recover Phillips and quell the rebellion. 'Vadam was doubtful of his offer but graciously accepted his help.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 236-238''</ref> Despite 'Telcam's ship having been shot down early in the battle, the situation on Sanghelios intensified as reinforcements from like-minded [[keep]]s arrived to attack Vadam keep. Lord Hood arrived on Sanghelios onboard humanity's most powerful ship, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. The Arbiter was caught off guard and as his own reinforcements failed to arrive on time, he reluctantly accepted the UNSC's help in fending off the attackers. ''Infinity'' decimated the rebel forces while the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} posed as a Kig-Yar pirate ship and covertly destroyed some of 'Vadam's ships, leaving the Arbiter with a Pyrrhic victory. After the battle, Thel 'Vadam was in talks to visit the UNSC ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 405''</ref> | |||

In [[2558]], Thel 'Vadam decided to enter into negotiations with the Jiralhanae, with the UNSC ''Infinity'' being assigned to escort him. 'Vadam met with [[Jiralhanae | In [[2558]], Thel 'Vadam decided to enter into negotiations with the Jiralhanae, with the UNSC ''Infinity'' being assigned to escort him. On March 5, 'Vadam met with Lord Hood and the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Lydus]] on [[Ealen IV]]. During the negotiations, the [[Covenant remnant]] attacked the delegates. Captain [[Thomas Lasky]], Commander [[Sarah Palmer]], and the [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IV's]] defended the delegation and evacuated them from the chamber. Lydus accused 'Vadam of betraying him, but Thel reassured him that he had no part in the attack as he killed a Kig-Yar sniper attempting to assassinate Lydus. When their evac ship was destroyed, the security detail proceeded to escort the delegates to a nearby parts depot. <ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #1''</ref> | ||
Inside the repair depot, 'Vadam notified Hood and the rest of an old fortified redoubt in which they could take refuge in. Captain Lasky ordered Palmer and the protection detail to escort the delegation to the redoubt. As the party escaped the depot, they were intercepted by a Covenant [[Type-56 Lich|Lich]]. Palmer quickly acted and threw her helmet filled with grenades and destroyed the Lich. The delegation stayed back as [[Fireteam Jackknife]] and their bodyguards went ahead to ensure the redoubt was safe for them to use as shelter.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #2''</ref> | |||
