[[Kaidon]] [[Thav 'Sebarim]] was a commander during the [[Human-Covenant War]] who led attacks on [[Reach]] and [[Earth]] during the [[Siege of the Inner Colonies]]. When the [[Great Schism]] broke out with the [[Jiralhanae]] forcing his [[Sangheili]] kind out of the [[Covenant]], 'Sebarim abandoned his station and returned to his homeworld of [[Suban]] to be with his clan, furious at the [[High Prophet]]s for betraying him. After the fall of the Covenant, he would later watch another civil war erupt, the [[Blooding Years]] between his kin. [[Atriox]], who did not discriminate against species so long as they were skilled, offered 'Sebarim a chance to join forces by using his clan as mercenaries.{{Ref/Reuse|Infinite}} 'Sebarim joined despite the greater feud between their species, which would ultimately disgrace his clan among Sangheili society.
