Tem'Bhetek: Difference between revisions

With the Human-Covenant War over and the Covenant destroyed, Tem and the Minister worked to get revenge on the Sangheili, along with the loyal Jiralhanae and [[Yanme'e]] crew of ''Spear of Light''. Using coordinates gained at some point during the war from Truth, the two San'Shyuum departed the rest of their species and were able to locate a Forerunner installation orbiting a rogue planet. Within the installation, they discovered a [[Prototype Halo installation|miniature, prototype]] [[Halo Array|Halo installation]].<ref name="SoI38"/> While Tem largely only sought revenge on 'Vadum, the Minister intended to use the captured ''Shadow of Intent'' to transport the ring to [[Sanghelios]] and then use the carrier to power the ring to eradicate all life in [[Urs system|the system]].<ref>'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''page 75'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Taking the Jiralhanae aboard ''Spear of Light'', Tem traveled to the Sangheili frontier colony [[Rahnelo]] to [[Attack on Rahnelo|attack]] the planet and gain the attention of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], which would lead to 'Vadum traveling to the planet to investigate. Upon arriving at the planet, ''Spear of Light'' [[Orbital bombardment|orbitally bombarded]] the colony's [[spaceport]] and bastion compounds before the Prelate led Jiralhanae infantry to the planet's surface. While engaging the residents at Rahnelo's largest settlement, Tem captured [[Kaidon]] [[Tulum 'Juranai]] and his two eldest sons.<ref name="soi19">'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''pages 19-21'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

Bringing the captured Sangheili back to the installation, the Prelate witnessed the Minister test the Halo on the prisoners. After the test proved successful, the Minister had Tem move to capture 'Vadum and ''Shadow of Intent''.<ref name="SoI5"/> Returning to Duraan, Tem intended to use the interference emitted by the planet's star to disable ''Shadow of Intent''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s energy shielding, allowing Tem to enact his trap. Once in orbit over the planet, ''Spear of Light'' was spotted by Duraan's largely defenseless inhabitants. Tem allowed them to send distress signals to the Swords of Sanghelios to lead 'Vadum to the planet.<ref name="SoI38"/> Three days later, ''Shadow of Intent'' arrived at Duraan. ''Spear of Light'' immediately destroyed the planet's largest settlement, leading to ''Shadow of Intent'' attacking to prevent further casualties. However, the carrier's energy shielding and [[plasma]] armaments were both rendered useless by solar interference. ''Spear of Light'' maneuvered towards ''Shadow of Intent'' and, when the cruiser passed closely by the carrier, Tem led the ship's complement of fifty Jiralhanae into [[Covenant escape pod|escape pods]]. The escape pods abandoned ''Spear of Light'' and were directed towards a [[hangar bay]] of ''Shadow of Intent''. Entering the carrier, Tem and his Jiralhanae engaged Sangheili forces. As the Prelate pressed on to engage 'Vadum at the bridge, he was attacked by [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, [[Unggoy]] [[Unggoy Ranger|Ranger]] [[Stolt]], and [[Tul 'Juran]]—the daughter of Tulum 'Juranai who intended to rescue her father and brothers after Tem had captured them. Tem had most of his Jiralhanae engage the Sangheili and Unggoy, while the rest followed him towards the carrier's [[bridge]]. Escaping the firefight, Tem and his remaining Jiralhanae soon encountered 'Vadum and [[Blademaster]] [[Vul 'Soran]] near the carrier's primary [[gravity lift]]. Before the Prelate could move towards 'Vadum, he was attacked by Stolt, 'Juran, and several Rangers. Tem became locked in a duel with 'Juran, where he revealed that her family had been killed. He managed to nearly kill 'Juran with her own [[energy lance]], but his attack was blocked by 'Vadum. Overwhelmed by 'Vadum, Tem attempted to escape to the bridge, but he was knocked unconscious by 'Soran and Stolt.<ref name="SoI50"/>
