Gol 'Rham: Difference between revisions

{{Era|UNSC|HCW|Post}}

Gol 'Rham once served in the [[Covenant military]], earning the "-ee" suffix to his surname in accordance to custom. By the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], 'Rham was near his ninth decade and working on [[Rahnelo]] as a miller, grinding mustard-colored grain and transporting it by [[du'nak]]-drawn sledge. In [[2553]], Rahnelo was [[Attack on Rahnelo|attacked]] by the {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} ''[[Spear of Light]]'', under the command of [[San'Shyuum]] [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]]. After destroying Rahnelo's [[spaceport]] and military bastions, the cruiser deployed [[Jiralhanae]] infantry to the planet's surface to engage the Sangheili residents. When Gol 'Rham came under assault by two armored Jiralhanae, he tangled his du'nak and used his sledge as cover for a last stand. As both Jiralhanae came around the sledge from the same side, 'Rham used his old energy sword to behead one of the Jiralhanae. Despite having been hit multiple times in the chest by [[plasma rifle]] fire, Gol 'Rham did not fall until the other attacker was also killed. Only then did Gol 'Rham die in the snow, buried beneath the fallen Jiralhanae he had just slayed.<ref>'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''page 14'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Three days after the attack, his corpse was found by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and [[Blademaster]] [[Vul 'Soran]], who arrived on the planet in response to Rahnelo's distress call. His corpse was then recovered by [[Kaidon]] [['Juran]] and his sister [[Tul 'Juran]], who brought the bodies of dead Sangheili back to their keep to give them a funeral pyre.<ref>'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''page 20'' (Google Play edition)</ref>
