Usze 'Taham

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:Covenant Character Infobox

Usze ‘Taham is a Elite (Sangheili) assigned to the Fleet Security of the Fleet of Retribution's Special Warfare Group. [1]

Background

Although Usze ‘Taham was born into a respected merchant family he was fathered by Toha ‘Sumai—one of the preeminent swordfighters of this age. Usze graduated with honors from the top War College in the Iruiru region of Yermo, Sanghelios (a distinction he shares with Rtas 'Vadum). Shortly after receiving his first post within the Covenant Navy he was offered a place on the ProphetsHonor Guard but he declined citing “lack of practical experience”. In truth, he had no desire to be part of a largely ceremonial unit, and at the end of his third combat tour, Usze ‘Taham again refused the post—even though his superiors warned him such behavior could be misinterpreted as apostasy.

Since that time Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and served with distinction for two additional tours before the Schism. Following the dissolution of the Covenant, he was approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons within the Navy.

Speculation

There is no definite source stating which Elite Usze ‘Taham is, some speculate him to be the blue one because he has no special ops status, others speculate him to be the darker one due to his older age and probable rank within the covenant. Others speculate him to be the blue one because he was talked about second and from right to left on the picture that would make him the second one.

Trivia

  • It should be noted that his name lacks the ee suffix associated with Elites in armed service. However when Rtas 'Vadumee was mentioned on this page the ee suffix was also missing. This may be because the Elites are no longer listed in the Coveant Loyalist Army, and no longer use the ee suffix.
