Within a short time, Thel achieved both the rank of [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] and the title of [[shipmaster]], and became [[kaidon]] of his state through the votes of Vadam's [[elder]]s.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', Chapter 9, ''page 89''</ref> Shortly after being promoted to shipmaster, Thel sustained an injury in the training ring due to a mistake. His family hushed up the incident, as well as the resultant visit by a physician, due to the Sangheili's cultural stigma toward doctors and medical operations. During his convalescence, Thel handmade an old-fashioned [[doarmir]]-fur shipmaster's cloak, and would later wear it as part of his shipmaster's attire to remind him that he could make grave mistakes if he let his guard down.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', Chapter 22, ''page 159''</ref> Thel's role as kaidon was important for the House of 'Vadam, as he was tasked with continuing the reign of the powerful state of Vadam. Early in his rule, he was attacked by three Sangheili assassins wielding energy swords. He managed to kill all three without injury, and proceeded to appear before Vadam's elders to determine which had ordered the attack. Thel discovered that the assassination orders had come from the elder [[Koida 'Vadam]], and after killing him, he ordered all of Koida's line to leave Vadam keep by sunrise.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', Chapter 8, ''pages 83-94''</ref> | Within a short time, Thel achieved both the rank of [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] and the title of [[shipmaster]], and became [[kaidon]] of his state through the votes of Vadam's [[elder]]s.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', Chapter 9, ''page 89''</ref> Shortly after being promoted to shipmaster, Thel sustained an injury in the training ring due to a mistake.
