As a commander of ground forces within the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], he was stationed on [[Installation 04]]. 'Putumee was ordered to ambush the [[Human]]s as they drove convoys, from the crashed [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] Cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, to Alpha Base. He set up an ambush for a convoy led by [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]] in which he put [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] tanks and [[Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle]]s around three hills which McKay's columns of [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]]s and [[Scorpion Tank]]s had to travel through. He also had large forces of [[Kig-yar]] and [[Unggoy]] on the hills, as well as air support from at least twenty [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft]]. The [[Council of Masters]] thought that this job was important enough that they sent [[Ado 'Mortumee]] to spy on the operation and write the report on its outcome.{{Ref/Reuse|mort}} In the middle of the fight, [[Ado 'Mortumee]] was killed after he was shot in the head by [[Lance Corporal]] [["Snaky" Jones]]. 'Putumee narrowly dodged a second bullet aimed at himself.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 159''</ref> His attempt to destroy the convoy failed, but he did do significant damage to the humans, at the expense of most of his soldiers and vehicles.

'Putumee was later ordered to lead the [[Battle of Alpha Base|assault]] of Alpha Base to coincide with [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s stealth landing aboard the [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] ''[[Charlie 217]]''. Unable to land on any of the landing pads, the [[DX-class Dropship]]s put the forces down outside of the human base and then strafed the area ahead of the infantry on 'Putumee's orders.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 217''</ref> Unknown to 'Putumee, the humans had buried two of their Scorpion tanks up to their cannons. Upon landing, they were immediately assaulted by base defenses and 'Putumee was killed by the third volley from the tanks, which tore him in half. Without his leadership and orders, the lower ranking Minor Elites tried to lead but the Covenant fell into disarray and the attack failed with the Covenant ground forces being decimated by the Humans' surprise defense. However, 'Zamamee's cloaked group successfully escaped.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 218''</ref>
