Following the Moul clan [[kaidon]]'s abdication sometime during the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Moul clan matriarch's eldest son [[Azl 'Lamoul]] was expected to be elected to take the throne. In preparation for this role, 'Lamoul toured the various keeps he was expected to one day rule over before eventually falling in love with Olabisi and intending to make her the Moul clan's Matriarch - joining the Varo and Moul clans. Upon returning to his keep, 'Lamoul discovered that the elders of his clan had [[Unavaro]] - niece of the then-[[Marshal]] of Varo - to take Olabisi's place. Azl 'Lamoul rejected this union, resulting in the entire Moul bloodline being killed off and one of the Varo clan's heirs elected to take over the Moul clan - with Olabisi as his figurehead matriarch.{{Ref/Reuse|DW8}} | ||
In such a dangerous position, Olabisi instead secretly trained a cadre of loyal female [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, whom she tasked with defending her nest site.

Olabisi Varo'dai served as the Marshal of Varo for multiple decades until [[2552#October|October 2552]], when a [[NOVA bomb]] carried aboard [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]'s carrier ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'' was detonated over Saepon'kal. The destruction unleashed by the bomb rendered the planet uninhabitable, leading to Varo'dai rallying the survivors together and working to persuade a late-arriving [[fleetmaster]] to use his flotilla of ships to assist in rescue efforts for the survivors. She was then able to get assistance from [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], who arranged for a colonisation charter for an uninhabited world in the [[Emousz system]], which was settled by the survivors of Saepon'kal. This new world came to be known as [[Om'a'Varo]], or "Daughter of Varo" in an old Saepon'kal dialect of the [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili language]]. 'Vadam remained unsure whether the planet was named as a general reference to the continent of Varo, or specifically to honour Olabisi | Olabisi Varo'dai served as the Marshal of Varo for multiple decades until [[2552#October|October 2552]], when a [[NOVA bomb]] carried aboard [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]'s carrier ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'' was detonated over Saepon'kal.
