Youngest son of Jul 'Mdama |
Asum 'Mdama is a Sangheili teenager born on Sanghelios[2] and now living on the shield world Sarcophagus with the alias of Bakar in the post-Human-Covenant War era.[1]
Biography
He is the son of Raia 'Mdama and Jul ‘Mdama, although he did not know who his father was as it is custom for Sangheili not to reveal the name of the father, so that they are solely judged on their abilities and not their heritage. He and his brother Dural lived in the State of Mdama and were taught combat by Naxan in the Bekan keep. Following the death of his mother, Asum went to the nearby fields to mourn in private.[3] Now orphaned, Asum was fostered by Kasha 'Hilot and assumed the name Bakar.
Personality
Asum was deeply hurt by his mother's passing. As a result, he chose to lead a life of non-violence, preferring to reason with aggressors rather than immediately settling disputes with force. This is exceptionally uncommon for Sangheili, especially males. His non-violent lifestyle and his connection to the Servants of the Abiding Truth have lead Asum to be an outcast amoung the Sangheili youth at Sarcophagus.
