'''Jega 'Rdomnai''' is a [[Sangheili]] [[blademaster]] serving the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF108|D=31|M=8|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/despite-distance|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Despite Distance}}{{Ref/Site|Id=InsideOct|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/inside-infinite-october-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Inside Infinite - October 2021|D=29|M=10|Y=2021}}

During his service within the [[Covenant]], Jega 'Rdomnai was a member of the [[Silent Shadow]], a unit within the Covenant's [[Special Operations]] branch. During one of his missions, he lost his left arm and left mandibles. 'Rdomnai had the two replaced with prostheses, despite robotic replacements being antithetical to Covenant tradition and principles. The injuries also gave 'Rdomnai a lust for battle and vengeance, both of which completely outweighed his own pride in his own Sangheili culture.{{Ref/Site|Id=ign|URL=https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-infinite-campaign-get-to-know-jega-spartan-killer-ign-first?utm_source=twitter|Site=IGN|Page=Halo Infinite Campaign: Get to Know Jega, a ‘Spartan Killer’ – IGN First|D=9|M=11|Y=2021}} The exact circumstances that gave him the injuries were shrouded in rumors, with very few aware of the true history. Prior to joining the [[Banished]], 'Rdomnai hunted [[Spartans]], which the Covenant called "[[Covenant religion#Demons|demons]]".{{Ref/Reuse|CF108}}

===Banished===

{{Template:Spoiler/begin}}

At some point before the [[Installation 07]] [[Installation 07 conflict|conflict]] in [[2560]], 'Rdomnai joined the [[Banished]] as the first recruit for the [[Hand of Atriox]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF108}} 'Rdomnai became the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Escharum]]'s most respected soldier, having worked together for the longest and even becoming his closest friend,{{Ref/Reuse|ign}} which was very rare between their species. Within the Banished, there were many rumors about 'Rdomnai and his injuries. Some said he was an experiment, which became an affront to his fellow Sangheili. Others made mention of a clandestine ambush gone wrong.{{Ref/Reuse|CF108}}

'Rdomnai was among the many Banished soldiers on Installation 07 following the ambush on {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. In late April 2560, he killed Spartan [[Bonita Stone]] when she was exploring the subterranean [[Forerunner]] structures under [[Outpost Tremonius]].{{Ref/Level|Id=foundation|HINF|Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation}} Then, on May 15, when Spartans [[Theodore Sorel]] and [[Vedrana Makovich]] infiltrated the Banished excavation site at the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]], 'Rdomnai ambushed the two, with Sorel being wounded by 'Rdomnai's surprise attack. Makovich urged Sorel to run ahead to locate [[117649 Despondent Pyre|the monitor of the ring]], while she would fend off 'Rdomnai.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #08 - The Assassin}} Makovich died in the following duel against the Sangheili,{{Ref/Level|Id=conservatory|HINF|Conservatory}} while Sorel made a last stand deeper inside the facility, being killed by the [[Jiralhanae]] brothers [[Tovarus]] and [[Hyperius]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #09 - Killers}}

Two weeks later, during the Installation 07 conflict, upon discovery that [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was still alive, Escharum sent 'Rdomnai to spy on the Spartan.{{Ref/Level|Ho|Warship Gbraakon}} As more Banished members fell to the Spartan, Escharum ordered 'Rdomnai to bring John-117 to him alive while 'Rdomnai noted with concern his friend's worsening illness. 'Rdomnai kidnapped [[Fernando Esparza]] in order to bait the Master Chief into storming the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]]. 'Rdomnai interrogated and tortured Esparza. 'Rdomnai was ultimately killed by the Master Chief when he arrived to rescue Esparza, finally avenging the several UNSC personnel that he had ambushed during the six-month-long Banished occupation.{{Ref/Level|HINF|House of Reckoning}}

[[343 Industries]] writer [[Jeff Easterling]] cited Jega 'Rdomnai's robotic prostheses as an example for what the Covenant would have been like without its "dogmatic restraint". Easterling also contrasted 'Rdomnai to [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], with 'Rdomnai being representative of 'Vadam's "psycho elements".{{Ref/Reuse|ign}}
