| {{Main|Battle of Miridem}}
| | At an unknown point in during the [[Human-Covenant War]], 'Lodamee had risen to the rank of [[Major Domo Sangheili|Major]], and was stationed on a Covenant [[Assault Carrier|assault carrier]], the [[flagship]] of a large fleet, and reported directly to its [[Unnamed Fleet Master (The Package)|Fleetmaster]]. By unknown means, the fleet had captured [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], founder of the [[SPARTAN-II program]], while she was in cryo-sleep. Prior to this, Thel had partaken in a battle with humans, in which his entire batallion had been killed, leaving him as the only survivor. This made him appear dishonorable in the Fleetmaster's eyes, who commented that Thel "had not the heart to die with honor." Soon after, a team of SPARTAN-IIs led by [[John-117]] boarded the ship in order to rescue Dr. Halsey. |
| During the Battle of Miridem in [[2544]], 'Lodamee made his first encounter with a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]], [[Sheila-065]], whom he killed. He then abducted [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], the progenitor of the SPARTAN-II program, and escorted her to the fleet's flagship, the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''. During this raid, the rest of 'Lodamee's battalion was killed.{{Ref/Reuse|bonus}}{{Ref/Reuse|package}}

| {{Main|Operation: WARM BLANKET}}
| |
| After escorting Halsey aboard, the Major reported to his [[Supreme Commander]], [[Luro 'Taralumee]]. Eventually the fleet discovered that a team of Spartans were inbound toward the flagship. The Fleet Master berated 'Lodamee for surviving despite the deaths of his comrades, commenting that Thel ''"...[had] not the heart to die with honor."'' Soon, the three surviving members of the Spartan team, led by [[John-117]], boarded the ship in order to rescue Dr. Halsey.

| Seeing this as an opportunity to regain his honor, Thel sought to kill the Spartans. He and two [[Sangheili Minor|Minors]] ambushed John, [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], and [[Frederic-104|Fred]]. Fred killed one of the Minors with a [[combat knife]] and held back Thel and the other Sangheili while John and Kelly continued to search for Dr. Halsey. Just after John found Dr. Halsey, Thel reappeared and challenged the Spartan to an [[energy sword]] duel. Thel managed to gain the upper hand in the duel and disarmed the Spartan. However, just as this happened, the fleet cleared the magnetic field that had prevented them from jumping into [[slipspace]]. The Fleet Master [[Modular Dispersal Technology|separated]] the entire aft section of the ship and pulled Thel back to the main section just as the latter disarmed John, infuriating 'Lodamee. Fleet Master 'Taralumee mused that 'Lodamee would either die or take on the mantle of the [[Arbiter]].{{Ref/Reuse|package}}

| ==Production notes==
| |
| *Thel 'Lodamee was voiced by Jason Carroll.{{Ref/Film|HLeg|Detail=Credits}}
| |
| *'Lodamee's very existence is a matter of retroactive continuity. The Major in "The Package" was originally intended to be [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, the future Arbiter, as foreshadowed by 'Taralumee's final line. However, ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'' (released a year before ''Halo Legends'') had previously established that 'Vadamee's first encounter with a Spartan was in [[2535]], at which time he was already a [[Zealot]]. To add to this, the manner in which 'Lodamee is foreshadowed to become the Arbiter is inconsistent with the manner in which 'Vadamee was anointed into the role. The Definitive Edition of ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' rectified the discrepancy by establishing 'Lodamee as a separate character; his prior engagement with the Spartans was revealed to have resulted in his killing of Sheila-065, whose death Dr. Halsey is said to have witnessed in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''.

| | Seeing this as an opportunity to regain his honor, Thel went after the SPARTANs. He and two other Elites ambushed John, [[Kelly-087|Kelly]] and [[Frederic-104|Fred]]. Fred killed one of the Elites with a [[Combat Knife|combat knife]] and held back Thel and the other Elite while John and Kelly continued to search for the package. Just after John found Dr. Halsey, Thel appeared and challenged John to a [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] duel. Thel managed to gain the upper hand in the duel, and disarmed the SPARTAN. However, just as this happened, the Fleet cleared the magnetic field that had prevented them from jumping into [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]].
