A council of elders oversee the kaidon's actions and help him make decisions or elect a new kaidon. If a council elder | A council of elders oversee the kaidon's actions and help him make decisions or elect a new kaidon. If a council elder believes that his vote was "ill-advised" or "had second thoughts", it was considered a tradition for council elders to send assassins to kill a kaidon in order to test "the true merit of a ruler's martial abilities." The belief was that "a kaidon who could not defend himself was not a true leader."<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 89''</ref> However, while an elder had the right to send assassins against a new kaidon, the kaidon could put the elder to death for doing so, should he survive. If an elder who failed to have a kaidon assassinated begged for mercy at their last moments, they and their entire line would be put to death; however, if they "found courage" and attempted to fight back, their lineage would be granted mercy and they would only be banished from the keep. This was what [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee chose to do after [[Koida 'Vadam]] had sent assassins after him.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 92-93''</ref> | ||
