His name, Thel 'Vadam, was first established in the novel ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''. While the narrative does not explicitly connect the character with that of the Arbiter from the games, in the very end of the story a reference is made to him being assigned in command of the Fleet of Particular Justice. It was not until later videos on ''Halo Waypoint'' that the Arbiter was explicitly identified as Thel 'Vadam. | His name, Thel 'Vadam, was first established in the novel ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''.

In ''Halo 2'', the Arbiter has no mandible guards, but he does in ''Halo 3''. Notably, the armor of the previous Arbiter, [[Ripa 'Moramee]], did possess mandible guards. In ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', 'Vadam is shown with much lighter skin than in previous media. His new armor exposes his left forearm, which is scaly and mottled instead of smooth and leathery. These changes match the Sangheili shown in ''Halo 4'' and other recent media, though it is unclear whether this represents a retcon or simply artistic license. | In ''Halo 2'', the Arbiter has no mandible guards, but he does in ''Halo 3''.
