Personality[edit]
Asum was deeply hurt by his mother's passing. As a result, he chose to lead a life of non-violence, preferring to reason with aggressors rather than immediately settling disputes with force, all in spite of the fury he would display, demonstrating his self-control. This is exceptionally uncommon for Sangheili, especially males. He held no love for his uncle, Jul, whom he blames for abandoning him and Dural after his mother perished, but was still devastated when he learned of Jul's role as Asum's father. He opposes his brother for choosing to lead the Servants, but still ultimately decides to try to save him, showing despite the years apart, he still cares for Dural on some level. He regretted not being able to reconcile with his father upon learning of his death, but understood its significance. His non-violent lifestyle and eventual friendship with Molly and the others have lead Asum to be an outcast among the Sangheili youth at Sarcophagus.
