"A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions."

— Avu Med 'Telcam concerning modern views on the Forerunners

Avu Med 'Telcam, commonly known as "The Bishop," is a Sangheili fundamentalist and a representative of the Servants of Abiding Truth (Neru Pe 'Odosima).

Biography

'Telcam once served in the Covenant military as an interpreter of human languages; he was promoted to the rank of Field Master before his resignation. He viewed the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and his followers as "infidels" - traitors to their faith, as they renounced the Great Journey and destroyed the Covenant at the Ark. This is odd however, as the entire Sangheili species were betrayed by the Prophet of Truth and ended up leaving the Covenant.

Post-War

Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, 'Telcam and his order attempted to begin an insurrection against 'Vadam's forces.

In January 2553, the United Nations Space Command's Office of Naval Intelligence organized a meeting between 'Telcam and Captain Serin Osman, along with Professor Evan Phillips. The purpose of the meeting was to negotiate terms of cooperation between ONI and the Servants of Abiding Truth, as ONI wished to create unrest amongst the Sangheili and thereby remove them as a threat to the UNSC and humanity. 'Telcam agreed to accept ONI's assistance on the condition that the UNSC ceased to "blaspheme" the divinity of the Forerunners, and that humanity would remain uninvolved with Sangheili affairs following the Servants' successful takeover of Sangheili society - terms to which Osman agreed.

'Telcam met with ONI operatives again on the glassed colony world of New Llanelli, where he received a shipment of human and Sangheili weaponry to support his forces.

'Telcam later met with Professor Evan Phillips in the state of Ontom on Sanghelios.
