| The Silent Shadow existed during the Sangheili's pre-[[Covenant]] spacefaring history. During the [[Age of Seven Worlds]], the Silent Shadow venerated a [[Sangheili mythology|nameless god]] said to wield a [[trikala]]; a spear outfitted with three blades intended to destroy the mind, body, and spirit—in the past, present, and future.{{Ref/Novel|Id=OC6|HOut|Chapter=6}}

| During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Silent Shadow were a well distinguished [[Covenant Special Operations]] unit of Sangheili primarily tasked with assassination operations against both [[human]] and disobedient [[Covenant]] targets alike.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS18}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} Occasionally, the [[Bloodstars]] employed members of the Silent Shadow as specialists to hunt down human Spartans.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=243}}

| |
| During the Human-Covenant War in [[2526]], a [[Sangheili]] [[First Blade]] named [[Tel 'Szatulai]] led the [[Bloodstars]], a select group of [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s that included [[Orsun]] and [[Castor]], to find and destroy the [[Spartan-II program|Demons]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS18|HSS|Chapter=18}}{{Ref/Novel|Ret|Chapter=21}} However, before the Covenant realized the threat that the Spartans posed, 'Szatulai and his squad had been attached to then-[[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]] to stealthily scout out the defenses of human [[Human colonies|colonies]] that they planned to destroy. They would also be searching these worlds for any hint that they had once been occupied by the [[Forerunner|gods]]. While scouting the world of [[Amasa]], a courier from the [[United Rebel Front]] delivered a communications device to 'Szatulai's squad. It contained a message from [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]], who wished to form a tentative alliance with the Covenant in exchange for information on the UNSC and their Spartans, which he claimed to be very dangerous. 'Szatulai took the message to 'Kvarosee aboard ''[[Pious Rampage]]'' as the fleet was in the [[Attack on Etalan|process]] of [[glassing]] [[Etalan]]. The fleetmaster, as well as the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]], instructed him to meet with the [[Insurrectionist|insurgents]] on [[Seoba]] to see what more information they could provide, especially pertaining to these Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}}
| |
|
| |
| On [[2525#March|March 19, 2526]], Tel 'Szatulai's [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] arrived at Seoba to find the [[Natural satellite|moon]] under the control of a [[UNSC]] [[Task Force Yama|task force]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS12|HSS|Chapter=12}} The [[Battle of Seoba#Covenant arrival|ensuing battle]] resulted in the destruction of three of 'Szatulai's five [[intrusion corvette]]s and the deaths of many Bloodstars, forcing him to retreat with his remaining two vessels.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS15|HSS|Chapter=15}} Following the battle, the First Blade would meet with the intended insurrectionists aboard [[Emmeline|a transport craft]] as the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience arrived and began its [[Battle of Biko|assault]] on [[Biko]], the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] that Seoba orbits. The meeting with Garvin ended with 'Szatulai "agreeing" that the Covenant would help the insurgents take control of Biko in exchange for more information on the Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS18}}

| When the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] attempted to destroy the partially-constructed [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Hammer of Faith]]'' within its docks on the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] over [[Zhoist]], 'Szatulai and several of his warriors attacked the Spartans directly. Most of these warriors were killed by [[Linda-058]] and [[Frederic-104]] while 'Szatulai himself engaged [[John-117]]. After a fierce fight, 'Szatulai was disarmed by John and then killed by [[Kelly-087]] with a point-blank shot from an [[M90 shotgun]] to the head.{{Ref/Novel|SS|Chapter=27}} Castor and Orsun were able to escape in [[Banshee]]s and reported back to 'Kvarosee on the death of 'Szatulai and all his Sangheili warriors.{{Ref/Novel|SS|Section=Epilogue}}

| In [[2526#June|June 2526]], another squad of Silent Shadow were sent with the [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] to hunt down the now-renegade 'Kvarosee and [[Defenders of the Sanctum|his]] [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety|forces]].{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=5}} The Silent Shadow arrived at [[Netherop]], where they got caught in the middle of [[Battle of Netherop|a conflict]] between the UNSC and 'Kvarosee, who hoped to use the Spartans to get rid of the Silent Shadow.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=18}} However, despite suffering heavy casualties, the Silent Shadow was able to destroy the ''[[Steadfast Strike]]'' and capture the renegade Fleetmaster, bringing in Honor Guards and a [[Sangheili Ultra]] from [[High Charity]] itself to deal with him. When 'Kvarosee claimed to no longer have the [[Luminal Beacon]]s as they were supposedly destroyed with his ships, the Ultra had 'Kvarosee and his surviving warriors stripped of their armor and exiled on Netherop.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=21}} Before leaving the planet, the Silent Shadow established an [[orbital mine shell]] of self-targeting [[plasma torpedo]]s that would prevent even a drop pod from landing, thus preventing 'Kvarosee from being rescued by any of his surviving loyal Shipmasters.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Section=Epilogue}} Blademaster [[Menuz 'Ra'ashai]] was sent to Netherop to enforce the exile, but he eventually joined forces with 'Kvarosee.{{Ref/Novel|Id=out12|Out|Chapter=12}}
