Formerly an administrator of civil affairs in [[Hilot]] on [[Sanghelios]], she currently serves as the second-in-command of security for the [[Onyx United Research Project]] on the [[shield world]] of [[Trevelyan]], a joint research project between the Swords of Sanghelios and the [[Unified Earth Government]].<ref name="lessonslearned"/>

{{Quote|I will tell you the most important lesson I learned in that time: only by acting in concert with others can you build an army. Only armies can defend worlds. A single warrior on his own is worthless.|Kasha 'Hilot<ref name="lessonslearned"/>}}

Kasha 'Hilot was born in the city-state of [[Hilot]] on [[Sanghelios]], the homeworld of the [[Sangheili]]. It was her duty to manage various affairs in the state, with a dozen [[keep]]s under her purview, housing thousands of families. Her mate was [[Gerdon 'Hilot]], the [[kaidon]] of Hilot. Following the [[Covenant]]'s demise at the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2553]], [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] sought for peace and a close relationship with [[human]]ity. However, various other Sangheili disagreed, leading to the [[Blooding Years]], a civil war that embroiled Sanghelios. Gerdon agreed with the Arbiter and rallied his state behind 'Vadam, under the banner of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. During the civil war, Gerdon was killed in combat. In the resulting chaos, 'Hilot took charge of her state until the conflict died down. Afterwards, she gave control of Hilot to her mate's best friend, who subsequently became the kaidon of the state. She briefly remained to advise her new kaidon's own mate, [[Dinnat 'Hilot|Dinnat]], though Kasha did not stand in her way as she believed that her former job was now hers.<ref name="lessonslearned"/>

By [[2554]], serving under [[Franklin Mendez]], 'Hilot left Sanghelios for the first time and became the second-in-command of security for the [[Onyx United Research Project]], a joint research project between the Swords of Sanghelios and the [[Unified Earth Government]] to combine their efforts while combing the [[shield world]] of [[Trevelyan]] for useful [[Forerunner]] technology. As the project grew, a settlement was established known as [[Paxopolis]]. At some point after March of that year, 'Hilot and Mendez met with [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]], who where assigned to assist with security on the shield world. While 'Hilot and Tom were discussing the [[Spartans]], a soldier of the [[United Nations Space Command]] on shore leave overheard their conversation and believed that she was insulting the supersoldiers. While his companions watched, the soldier soon grew enraged, believing that 'Hilot played a part in the Covenant War, and initiated a brawl with the Sangheili. However, Tom intervened and quickly defeated the soldier. Mendez and Lucy then returned, with the former ordering the soldiers to return to their transport, their shore leave now cancelled. Afterwards, Mendez spoke to [[Hugo Barton]], commander of the project, about not lowering the standards used to vet soldiers stationed on Trevelyan to prevent such an incident from occurring again.<ref name="lessonslearned"/>

{{Quote|Fighting is easy. Anyone can wield a weapon. We take care of the complicated things. Families and business. It is much more difficult to build than to destroy.|Kasha 'Hilot, on traditional Sangheili gender roles<ref name="lessonslearned"/>}}

Kasha 'Hilot was a traditional [[Sangheili]] and highly valued teamwork, believing that it was a vital skill. From her experience of managing the state of [[Hilot]], she came to believe that a single warrior was useless, but by acting in concert with others, a warrior could build an army to defend worlds. She held the traditional Sangheili beliefs that females should be responsible for [[clan]] matters and business, while males are responsible for warfare and other martial matters. 'Hilot believed that fighting was easy, but taking care of family and business matters was much more difficult. She occasionally yearned for the old ways of the [[Covenant]], though 'Hilot was glad that the Sangheili were no longer in service to the [[San'Shyuum]].<ref name="lessonslearned"/>

'Hilot learned [[English]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], believing that it would be a useful skill to have no matter which way the war went. Following the war's end, she had an excellent grasp on the language. 'Hilot was curious about the [[Spartans]], whom she still occasionally referred to as "Demons". By [[2554]], 'Hilot was still becoming used to the idea of working together with [[human]]s under the [[Onyx United Research Project]]. When [[Lucy-B091]] openly noted that she felt like she should be shooting 'Hilot upon seeing her for the first time, 'Hilot responded by commenting that she had already worked out on how she could kill Lucy if need be. However, when insulted and attacked by an enraged soldier of the [[United Nations Space Command]], she showed restraint and refrained from harming him.<ref name="lessonslearned"/>
