As is expected of all male [[Sangheili]], 'Vagaduun would enlist in the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]]. In the last decade of the [[Human-Covenant War]], he came to be considered one of the most lethal infantry assets in the Covenant, eventually being granted the title of [[Blademaster]] by the [[Minister of Resolution]]. 'Vagaduun would repeatedly defy the odds, surviving conflicts even when vastly outnumbered.{{Ref/Reuse|Target03}} | ||
===Banished recruitment=== | |||
When the Covenant [[Great Schism|fell into dismay]] at the hands of the [[San'Shyuum]], 'Vagaduun abandoned his post and returned to Suban. A year into the [[Blooding Years|Sangheili civil war]], he was approached by [[Atriox]] with an offer to join the [[Banished]]. 'Vagaduun accepted and fought for the mercenary faction as part of the [[Bloodbrave Guardian of Suban]], a sect of highly esteemed warriors from his homeworld.{{Ref/Reuse|Target03}} Okro 'Vagaduun was among those chosen by Atriox to accompany him to [[Installation 00]] in [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | |||

To enact his plan to return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] for some unspecified business, Atriox needed the fragments of a slipspace flake stored within the [[keyship]] that the [[Prophet of Truth]] had used to travel to Installation 00. These shards would allow for a [[slipspace portal]] to be opened to the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Reach]]. As such, Atriox chose 'Vagaduun to participate in a [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|raid]] on the vessel led by Chieftain Minas.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | |||
In the summer of [[2559]], the raid commenced. The blademaster led a team of Sangheili warriors while Minas and [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] [[Zeretus]] led two other teams, both composed of choice [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Unggoy]] soldiers.

The blademaster led a team of Sangheili warriors while Minas and [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] [[Zeretus]] led two other teams, both composed of choice [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Unggoy]] soldiers. Each team rode in a separate [[Banished Phantom|Phantom]] dropship to where the ''Anodyne Spirit'' rested in a region of the Ark they had dubbed [[Mahsko]]. Once inside the keyship, 'Vagaduun expressed confidence that the vessel was indeed devoid of any living beings, but that they should still be careful regardless. His caution was proved to be well-founded when surviving [[Covenant]] [[Covenant loyalists|loyalists]] ambushed the group, attempting to repel them from the ship that had landed on the Ark nearly [[seven]] years prior.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | ||
Displaying his masterful swordsmanship, 'Vagaduun's efforts were vital to the success of the mission. As Minas' team found the [[Forerunner]] device called "the Adytum" and extricated the shards from within it, the Sangheili and his team valiantly—and perhaps overconfidently—held off the Covenant defenders. 'Vagaduun and Minas were the only two survivors of their respective teams, the others having sacrificed themselves so that they might escape the keyship with the crystal. After they reunited with Zeretus and his team, that is exactly what they did. They evacuated in the same Phantoms that they had used to approach the vessel.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Displaying his masterful swordsmanship, 'Vagaduun's efforts were vital to the success of the mission.
