Following the end of the | Following the successful defeat of the Covenant and the end of the war, Avu Med 'Telcam found himself in turmoil among his fellow Sangheili as differing beliefs emerged. He viewed the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and his followers as "infidels"—traitors to their faith.

'Telcam and his order attempted to begin an insurrection against 'Vadam's forces.<ref name="Glasslands excerpt">'''Official Xbox Magazine: Halo - The 10th Anniversary —''' ''Glasslands excerpt''</ref> In [[2553|January 2553]], the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] organized a meeting between 'Telcam and Captain [[Serin Osman]], along with Professor [[Evan Phillips]] on the glassed [[New Llanelli]]. The purpose of the meeting was to negotiate terms of cooperation between ONI and the Servants of the Abiding Truth, as ONI wished to create unrest amongst the Sangheili and thereby remove them as a threat to the UNSC and humanity. 'Telcam agreed to accept ONI's assistance on the condition that the UNSC ceased to "blaspheme" the divinity of the Forerunners, and that humanity would remain uninvolved with Sangheili affairs following the Servants' successful takeover of Sangheili society—terms to which Osman agreed.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 23''</ref> | |||
