'''Dasc Gevadim''' was a false human spiritual guru, and founder of [[Triad]], a [[Religion|belief system]] that taught that every human had three lives, and that spiritual transcendence occurred only when you could link all three.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Stomp|Evo|Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss}}

===Emergence of the Triad===
===Emergence of the Triad===
Gevadim was popular throughout the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s remaining colonies, running seminars through public channels, but disappeared in [[2542]]. His followers believed that he had managed to attain the ascension he proclaimed was possible, and his followers increased exponentially, inspired by the "ascension." In truth, Gevadim had exiled himself to [[Beta Gabriel]], a barely inhabited and overlooked world in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]], to fool his followers and increase their numbers and devotion. During the [[Fall of Reach|invasion of the system]] [[2552|ten years later]], Gevadim was one of many human occupants rounded up by a Jiralhanae pack, intending to use them as prey in their hunts for sport. [[Connor Brien]] managed to stage an escape during an internal dispute within the pack, and though he and Gevadim were the only survivors, Gevadim subsequently shot Brien so that neither could leave the planet, and his followers would not know that he still lived, retaining their faith. Gevadim was present as the {{Class|Calypso|exfiltration craft}} touched down, deploying Marines to wipe out the Jiralhanae survivors, but he made no attempt to contact them, remaining on Beta Gabriel, feeling completely forlorn.{{Ref/Reuse|Stomp}}

===Guardian on Laika III, and eventual death===
===Guardian on Laika III===
In [[2558]], while Gevadim was still seen as transcended, his followers still believed in the Triad and preached his words, and were public with their opinions on social media sites.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://twitter.com/OurThreeLives|Site=Twitter|Page=OurThreeLives|Detail=An ARG account used in the HuntTheTruth ARG, framed as run by the Triad.|D=30|M=12|Y=2015}} In late 2558, Gevadim resurfaced in [[Waypoint]], claiming that he had "willed himself" back to the physical realm in order to "illuminate" his followers about the spiritual ascendance the recent appearance of the [[Guardian Custode]]s on several [[human colonies]] would supposedly bring about.{{Ref/Reuse|s2e3}} Gevadim and his followers were on [[Laika III]] waiting for the Guardian to rise when they encountered a crashed ship with [[Maya Sankar]] and [[Mshak Moradi]] aboard and unconscious. Gevadim had his followers take them to their encampment and kept them separated. Knowing that Sankar was FERO, Gevadim had her taken to be evaluated on what she knew about him. Gevadim explained that he saw her arrival as a sign of the inevitable event that would bring about "transcendence". Sankar unconvinced, threatened to tear their camp apart if she did not see her friends. Gevadim allowed Sankar and Moradi to reunite but not after saying he would aid her "ascending". As the event was about to begin, Gevadim brought all of his followers together to one spot and allowed Sankar and Moradi to witness it. Gevadim and his followers began to levitate due to the Guardian manipulating the gravity as it was rising. Gevadim then proclaimed to his followers that "the end" was upon them all.{{Ref/Audio|HtT|Season=2|Episode 05: Where the Third Life Shines}}

Dasc did survive the cataclysm of the Guardian's awakening, though was shortly after captured by the [[Banished]] - who were quick to arrive at the scene to begin analysis of the [[Forerunner]] construct. Dasc was initially confident in his captivity, having survived Jiralhanae captivity on Beta Gabriel a decade prior. As such, he attempted to impart his knowledge onto fellow captive [[Ilsa Zane]] and form a plan with her that would allow for his escape. As a member of the [[New Colonial Alliance]], Zane held within her a tracking chip that she expected [[Admiral]] [[Mattius Drake]] would follow, eventually sending NCA troops to rescue herself and her fellow survivors. All they needed to do was to survive for three days, which Dasc attempted to leverage by offering his knowledge of how to manipulate Jiralhanae as Connor Brien had done on Beta Gabriel. Unfortunately for Dasc, Zane did not trust him and couldn't figure out whether he was a conman leading a cult, or what his angle was. As such, when she ignored Dasc's advice, killed the prison guard [[Amatus]], and then against all odds was offered by the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] the choice of who the pack's next victim would be, she chose Dasc Gevadim for the Brutes to drag away and eat. As she had told Dasc about the tracking chip within her and the imminent NCA counterattack, she could not risk him telling the Brutes and setting them upon her. Gevadim was dragged away by the Jiralhanae and later eaten by them and Ilsa Zane.{{Ref/Novel|Id=T3L|Halo: The Third Life}}
