On [[2558#January|January 21, 2558]], 'Telcam was in a ruined city on New Llanelli with a group of his followers, when the Office of Naval Intelligence's [[Section Three]] authorized 'Telcam's [[Assassination of Avu Med 'Telcam|assassination]] at the hands of [[SPARTAN-G059]]. Arriving in the city after being deployed from the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} {{UNSCShip|From the Ashes}}, SPARTAN-G059 eliminated 'Telcam's Kig-Yar scouts and [[Unggoy]] guards. Arriving at 'Telcam's location in a ruined tower, the [[Spartan-III]] burst into the room and engaged 'Telcam and his two Sangheili guards. After a brief skirmish, the Spartan quickly killed the guards and engaged 'Telcam himself. 'Telcam open fired upon the Spartan with a [[Type-51 carbine]], but was forced to take cover within a [[Z-4190 bubble shield]] when SPARTAN-G059 threw an [[M9 fragmentation grenade]] at the Sangheili. The Spartan rushed the Sangheili and knocked the carbine out of his grip, though 'Telcam was able to slam the Spartan into a wall. SPARTAN-G059 recovered and rushed 'Telcam, knocking his [[Type-1 energy sword]] from his hand just as the Sangheili activated the blade. The Spartan maneuvered around 'Telcam using agility and armor thrusters, eventually knocking the Sangheili to the ground. As 'Telcam picked himself up, SPARTAN-G059 finally executed the Bishop himself with a single [[M6 series|pistol]] shot to the head.<ref name="ktb"/>

Avu Med 'Telcam was very calm, patient, and definite. So much so that upon seeing him agitated, it was unsettling for [[Jul 'Mdama]]. He was very religious and still worshiped the [[Forerunner]]s, but he believed it was heresy to damage a Forerunner structure. During the [[Blooding Years#Assault on Vadam|Assault on Vadam]], he refused to allow [[Buran 'Utaral]] to damage the Forerunner structures throughout the state of [[Vadam]], making it very difficult for the shipmaster to engage ground targets. 'Telcam was slightly jealous of [[Evan Phillips|Professor Evan Phillips]], confused at how a "inferior" human was able to get a better understanding of the Forerunner writing in the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]] in [[Ontom]] than he could. He believed that to successfully overthrow [[Thel 'Vadam]], his ideas and allies had to be destroyed to ensure that his legacy and ideals did not live on.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 225-226''</ref> 'Telcam felt guilty for the deaths of those under his command, including [[Raia 'Mdama]], the wife of Jul.<ref name="md123"/>

'Telcam wished for the [[Sangheili]] to live independently from the other species. He believed that if the Sangheili worked together, the species could effectively achieve any goal. Despite being very religious and spiritual, 'Telcam was a rather pragmatic individual.<ref name="gl199"/> He had little regard for other species and considered them to be inferior, including the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]], and [[human]]s. Though he did come to respect the Kig-Yar and humans to some degree. Although he hated both species, he was willing to work with them to achieve his goals.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 438''</ref>
