Biography

Covenant and the Silent Shadow

During his service within the Covenant, Jega 'Rdomnai was a member of the Silent Shadow, a unit within the Covenant's Special Operations branch. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. 'Rdomnai had the two replaced with prostheses, despite robotic replacements being antithetical to Covenant tradition and principles. The injuries also gave 'Rdomnai a lust for battle and vengeance, both of which completely outweighed his own pride in his own Sangheili culture.[3] The exact circumstances that gave him the injuries were shrouded in rumors, with very few aware of the true history. Prior to joining the Banished, 'Rdomnai hunted Spartans, which the Covenant called "demons".[1]

Banished

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

At some point before the Installation 07 conflict in 2560, 'Rdomnai joined the Banished as the first recruit for the Hand of Atriox.[1] 'Rdomnai became the Jiralhanae Escharum's most respected soldier, having worked together for the longest and even becoming his closest friend,[3] which was very rare between their species. Within the Banished, there were many rumors about 'Rdomnai and his injuries. Some said he was an experiment, which became an affront to his fellow Sangheili. Others made mention of a clandestine ambush gone wrong.[1]

'Rdomnai was among the many Banished soldiers on Installation 07 following the ambush on UNSC Infinity. In late April 2560, he killed Spartan Bonita Stone when she was exploring the subterranean Forerunner structures under Outpost Tremonius.[4] Then, on May 15, when Spartans Theodore Sorel and Vedrana Makovich infiltrated the Banished excavation site at the Conservatory, 'Rdomnai ambushed the two, with Sorel being wounded by 'Rdomnai's surprise attack. Makovich urged Sorel to run ahead to locate the monitor of the ring, while she would fend off 'Rdomnai.[5] Makovich died in the following duel against the Sangheili,[6] while Sorel made a last stand deeper inside the facility, being killed by the Jiralhanae brothers Tovarus and Hyperius.[7]

Two weeks later, during the Installation 07 conflict, upon discovery that Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 was still alive, Escharum sent 'Rdomnai to spy on the Spartan.[8] As more Banished members fell to the Spartan, Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to bring John-117 to him alive while 'Rdomnai noted with concern his friend's worsening illness. 'Rdomnai kidnapped Fernando Esparza in order to bait the Master Chief into storming the House of Reckoning. 'Rdomnai interrogated and tortured Esparza. 'Rdomnai was ultimately killed by the Master Chief when he arrived to rescue Esparza, finally avenging the several UNSC personnel that he had ambushed during the six-month-long Banished occupation.[9]

Spoilers end here.

Production notes

343 Industries writer Jeff Easterling cited Jega 'Rdomnai's robotic prostheses as an example for what the Covenant would have been like without its "dogmatic restraint". Easterling also contrasted 'Rdomnai to Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, with 'Rdomnai being representative of 'Vadam's "psycho elements".[3]
