History
In March 2558, Lydus was one of the few Jiralhanae willing to discuss a peace treaty with the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam. The UNSC Infinity was assigned the mission of defending him and 'Vadam during negotiations. Before an agreement could be reached between both parties, they were attacked by extremists opposed to the treaty. Lydus immediately accused 'Vadam of betraying him, but quickly realized this was not the case. With the aid of his bodyguards and an escort team of Spartans, Lydus was evacuated from the processing center. However, a wing of hostile Banshees destroyed the evac shuttle, forcing the Spartans and the diplomats - Lydus included - to take refuge in a nearby parts depot.[1] Before the Covenant forces could locate them, Lydus and the other diplomats escaped through a series of service tunnels, making their way toward a fortified redoubt.[2]
During the crisis, Lydus frequently expressed his doubts as to the capability and allegiances of the Sangheili and humans, often bickering with the Arbiter in particular. The ambassadors eventually managed to escape the planet aboard a Covenant cargo tug thanks to the sacrifices of Paul DeMarco and Fireteam Bailey, although the outcome of the negotiations themselves was left nebulous.[3]
