During his service within the Covenant, Jega 'Rdomnai became a [[blademaster]] and a member of the [[Silent Shadow]], a unit within the Covenant's [[Special Operations]] branch.

Shortly after the Master Chief and [[the Weapon]] shut down the [[Reformation Spire]]s, 'Rdomnai hijacked ''[[Echo 216]]'' and kidnapped [[Fernando Esparza]] in order to bait the Master Chief into storming the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]].{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[The Command Spire]]}} Upon returning to the House of Reckoning, 'Rdomnai witnessed Escharum smash his [[holotable]] in a fit of rage. The Blademaster asked Escharum if there was a problem and the War Chief stated that he was losing patience with The [[Harbinger]]. When he demanded that 'Rdomnai tell him that his mission was a success,'Rdomnai simply stated that the Master Chief would come to them and revealed that he had captured [[Fernando Esparza]], much to Escharum's delight. Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to keep Esparza alive, but to have his fun as 'Rdomnai deserved it.

When the Master Chief finally arrived at the House of Reckoning, 'Rdomnai confronted him in a transport docked in the arena on the third level, using Esparza's [[holorecorder]] to lure the Master Chief in and trap him. Despite using his [[active camouflage]] extensively, 'Rdomnai was ultimately defeated by the Master Chief, although the Spartan was unable to confirm the kill as the Sangheili's body disappeared without a trace. After his friend's supposed death, Escharum informed the Master Chief that 'Rdomnai had wanted to kill Esparza, but Escharum had promised him a sweeter prize or a warrior's death instead.{{Ref/Level|Id= | When the Master Chief finally arrived at the House of Reckoning, 'Rdomnai confronted him in a transport docked in the arena on the third level, using Esparza's [[holorecorder]] to lure the Master Chief in and trap him.
