'''Orim 'Kasaan''' is a veteran [[Sangheili]] [[Special Operations Officer]] serving within the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

==Biography==

===Early Life===
Orim ‘Kasaan was born on the Sangheili colony world of [[Glyke]]. At some point in his life, he married a female called [[Aumra]]. Like all Sangheili males, he would enlist himself into the ranks of the [[Covenant military]]. Eventually, he became a [[Special Operations Officer]] in the [[Special Warfare Group]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

In [[2553]], Glyke was [[Operation: SUNSPEAR|destroyed]] in a [[NOVA bomb]] detonation initiated by [[Gray Team]]. The greatest devastation he felt was not from the violent destruction of his homeworld, but in the gradual unraveling of his marriage in the unsettled years that followed.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

===Swords of Sanghelios===
In the wake of the Great Schism, Orim had pledged his sword in service to [[Thel 'Vadam]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], eager to see through the [[Arbiter]]’s vision for wider unification and collaboration among the Sangheili. But the destruction of Glyke quickly put that allegiance to the test, for Aumra developed a deep resentment towards humanity for their role in the planet’s ruin. This led to an estrangement between the two.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

By early [[2560]], the Special Operations Sangheili had been assigned a leadership role within a joint Swords of Sanghelios-[[UNSC]] team under the command of [[Fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]], one of the leaders of the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]]. During the [[Banished]] [[Battle of Suban|assault]] on [[Suban]], Orim 'Kasaan and [[Fahl 'Nto]] were given command of a Swords taskforce with the goal of reclaiming the [[Mines of Shua'ree]] from the invaders. Prior to the operation, 'Kasaan operated a [[Phantom]] and hid in lower depths of the quarry until the opportunity presents itself, while 'Nto led an advance scout team consisting of Spartans [[Glyyss]] and [[Trell]] of [[Fireteam Jorogumo]] and the [[Kig-Yar]] named [[Dahks]]. After scouting out the mine's entrance from a distance, 'Nto ordered Dahks to hold position and provide overwatch before telling Glyyss to notify [[Jaarov]] and [[Zhinn]]—the other two Spartans participating in the mission—that they would be ready shortly and that 'Kasaan could approach with his dropship.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

As 'Nto and Glyyss approached the mouth of the mine, Trell had taken up a second vantage point to snipe from. Once they reached the opening, Dahks marked two nearby Banished warriors to be taken out first. 'Nto executed one while Glyyss killed the other. With the patrol eliminated, 'Nto contacted ''[[Scorrin's Blade]]''—the {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}} acting as support—to confirm that the [[Banshee]]s were on approach. Shortly thereafter, the Banshees arrived to dump [[plasma]] and [[fuel rod]]s into the Banished's [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s being loaded with raw ''[[kemuksuru]]''. The resulting explosions sent a wave of confusion through the occupying forces within the mines. Then, Dahks and Trell opened up with their sniper rifles as 'Kasaan arrived with the Phantom at the mouth of the mine, releasing at least a dozen Sangheili warriors and two Spartans—Jaarov and Zhinn—into the chaos.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

As the Swords of Sanghelios forces swept through mines and slaughtered the mostly Sangheili Banished infantry, [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Ipso]] appeared alongside two [[Jiralhanae]] [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]]s. Orim attempted to warn 'Nto about the Chieftain before they clashed. As Ipso killed Glyyss, plasma fire came from Orim's Phantom, forcing Ipso to retreat, giving Jaarov and Zhinn the chance to recover the body of their fallen comrade. Orim 'Kasaan rushed over to Fahl 'Nto and urged him to get up so that they could leave. As the Swords of Sanghelios retreated, [[Koal 'Mal]] demanded that they not give up the attack, saying that all the blood they spilled would be for naught. 'Nto, however, pointed out that ''kemuksuru'' would not be the deciding factor in this battle and that they would return to reclaim the Mines of Shua'ree when the time was right.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}

== Personality and traits==
Orim ‘Kasaan is a careful and deliberate meditation and council with  his allies. He has shown to be a staunch supporter of Thel 'Vadam's vision of a unified Sangheili people. He has also been shown to be quick in forgiving humanity following the destruction of Glyke, a decision that has placed him greatly at odds with his life-mate Aumra.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

Their estrangement affects Orim deeply, so much so that he actively strives to not let it consume him, reminding himself each day that he must sacrifice his own desires to secure a better future for the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

==Equipment==
Orim 'Kasaan wears an [[infiltration harness]], clad primarily in silver, with orange and gold as secondary, representing his allegiance to the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. He wields a {{Pattern|Meluth'qelos|energy sword}}.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFFire}}

==Trivia==
Orim 'Kasaan's relation to [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] is unknown, though they are presumably of the same clan. However, there are multiple typos in his surname throughout the text of ''[[Battle for the Blood-Moon]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
