Upgraded in the traditional Sangheili manner in his [[clan]]'s own forge, 'Vadam insisted for the blade to incorporate components of the [[Type-1 energy sword]] that he used to assassinate the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] during the [[Battle of Installation 00|Battle]] of [[Installation 00]] in [[2552]].
