During the Battle of Miridem in [[2544]], 'Lodamee made his first encounter with a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]], [[Sheila-065]], whom he killed. He then abducted [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], the progenitor of the SPARTAN-II program, and escorted her to the fleet's flagship, the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''.

After escorting Halsey aboard, the Major reported to his [[Supreme Commander]], [[Luro 'Taralumee]]. Eventually the fleet discovered that a team of Spartans were inbound toward the flagship. The Fleet Master berated 'Lodamee for surviving despite the deaths of his comrades, commenting that Thel ''"...[had] not the heart to die with honor."'' Soon, the three surviving members of the Spartan team, led by [[John-117]], boarded the ship in order to rescue Dr. Halsey.

Seeing this as an opportunity to regain his honor, Thel sought to kill the Spartans. He and two [[Sangheili Minor|Minors]] ambushed John, [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], and [[Fred-104|Fred]]. Fred killed one of the Minors with a [[combat knife]] and held back Thel and the other Sangheili while John and Kelly continued to search for Dr. Halsey. Just after John found Dr. Halsey, Thel reappeared and challenged the Spartan to an [[Type-1  energy sword|energy sword]] duel. Thel managed to gain the upper hand in the duel and disarmed the Spartan. However, just as this happened, the fleet cleared the magnetic field that had prevented them from jumping into [[Slipstream Space|slipspace]]. The Fleet Master [[Modular Dispersal Technology|separated]] the entire aft section of the ship and pulled Thel back to the main section just as the latter disarmed John, infuriating 'Lodamee.<ref name="package"/>

==Production notes==
Thel 'Lodamee was voiced by Jason Carroll.<ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''credits''</ref> His very existence is actually a retcon applied to the story of ''The Package''. The character was originally intended to be [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, as foreshadowed by his Fleet Master's line, ''"['Lodamee's] only path now is death... or ''Arbiter''."'' However, ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'' (released a year prior) had previously established that 'Vadamee's first encounter with a Spartan was in [[2535]], at which time he was already a [[Zealot]]. The Definitive Edition of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' rectified the discrepancy by establishing 'Lodamee as a separate character; his prior engagement with the Spartans was revealed to have resulted in him killing Sheila-065, tying into the background of ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''.

*'Lodamee's very existence is a matter of retroactive continuity. The Major in "The Package" was originally intended to be [[Thel 'Vadamee]], the future Arbiter, as foreshadowed by 'Taralumee's final line. However, ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'' (released a year before ''Halo Legends'') had previously established that 'Vadamee's first encounter with a Spartan was in [[2535]], at which time he was already a [[Zealot]]. The Definitive Edition of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' rectified the discrepancy by establishing 'Lodamee as a separate character; his prior engagement with the Spartans was revealed to have resulted in his killing of Sheila-065, whose death Dr. Halsey is said to have witnessed in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''.
