— Uto 'Mdama to Var 'Gatanai.^[2]

Uto 'Mdama was a Sangheili priest who served under Arbiter Var 'Gatanai, before later leading a mutiny against him.^[2]

Biography[edit]

Uto 'Mdama serving under Var 'Gatanai.

Following the Fall of Reach, the Arbiter cut off communication with High Charity and the rest of the Covenant fleet after he was swayed to disobey the Hierarchs by the "Blessed One". Uto 'Mdama sharply questioned on the nature of their communication silence. The priest further questioned the Arbiter's reliance of Makee. 'Mdama went so far as threatened to kill her with his energy dagger until he restrained by Var, who reminded him that the human's life belongs to the Hierarchs. The priest angrily departed the bridge.^[2]

When Cortana sent a transmission to Margaret Parangosky on Onyx, it was discovered by Uto. He dragged Makee before 'Gatanai and his Sangheili crew. The priest accused the human of betrayal and insisted that she should be put to death. The Arbiter, seemingly enraged by this treachery, prepared to execute Makee with his energy sword. Instead, he pushed her away and attacked Uto and the Sangheili loyal to him. Thus began a mutiny aboard the Covenant ship, between the Arbiter’s warriors and the priest's.^[2]

Uto 'Mdama dead.

After Makee disconnected from the keystone, Uto chased her into another part of the ship where Cortana distracted the priest, giving Makee the chance to sneak up on him from behind and kill Uto with an energy sword. Var later told Makee that all of Uto's forces had been killed and his mutiny was put down, but all of Var's forces had been killed as well, leaving the Arbiter and the Blessed One as the only survivors of the mutiny.^[1]
