'''Dahks''' is a [[Ruuht]]ian [[Kig-Yar]] mercenary serving as a [[Kig-Yar Sniper|sniper]] within the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

==Biography==
===Covenant service===
In his early years, Dahks became known as a keen tracker, adept at understanding and cataloguing the deepest wilds of the [[Kon’chomet jungles]] on [[Ruuht]]. During the course of his time there, he learned navigating the region’s most challenging scope of flora and fauna that would ultimately help teach Dahks the patience and focus they would later employ on important battlefronts throughout the [[Human-Covenant War|War of Annihilation]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

During his service in the [[Covenant military]], Dahks was member of the [[Jha'kaar]], an elite order of [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|long-range assassin]]s. At some point, he received the rank of [[Khordat]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} 

===Swords of Sanghelios===
Sometime prior to early [[2560]], Dahks was hired by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] as a mercenary. By 2560, Dahks had been assigned as part of a joint Swords of Sanghelios and [[UNSC]] team under the purview of [[Fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]], one of the leaders of the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]]. The Kig-Yar had developed a fondness for [[human]]-made [[Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifle]]s, an interest which invited several discussions between Dahks and [[Trell]], a [[Spartan]] of [[Fireteam Jorogumo]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

When the [[Banished]] [[Battle of Suban|attacked]] [[Suban]] in early 2560, Dahks and the rest of the joint team participated in the [[Natural satellite|moon]]'s defense under the command of [[Fahl 'Nto]] and [[Orim 'Kassan]]. Their task was to clear the [[Mines of Shua'ree]] of their Banished presence, a job which saw Dahks and Trell provide sniper overwatch while the others infiltrated the site. Initially, the assault was going well, with Dahks and Trell picking off targets as the rest worked their way through the mines. However, the appearance of [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Ipso]] turned the tide of battle in the Banished's favor. As more Swords of Sanghelios warriors fell, Fahl 'Nto was bested and nearly killed by Ipso, only being saved by Spartan [[Glyyss]]'s sacrifice. With the Swords of Sanghelios clearly fighting a losing battle, the joint team retreated to their [[Phantom]] to continue the fight another day.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

== Personality and traits==
Even at an early age, Dahks proved to be a skilled tracker. His sojourn in the wilds of the [[Kon’chomet jungles]] taught Dahks patience and focus that would be of great use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War|War of Annihilation]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

As former member of the Jha'kaar, Dahks proved to be a skilled mercenary marksman during his service to the [[Covenant]] and later to the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

==Equipment==
By early 2560, Dahks had developed a fondness for human sniper rifles and has been witnessed wielding an [[SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle]] in combat. He is also known to make use of an [[Kig-Yar targeting headgear|ocular enhancement helmet]] capable of syncing with human-made [[drone]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
