John and [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s first meeting on Delta Halo was hostile, with the Arbiter continually refer to the Spartan as "Demon" and John's insistence that the San'Shyuum were making a "big mistake" (by activating the Halos). Upon their next meeting on Earth, John was quick to try and kill the Sangheili before Johnson stopped him. They remained initially wary of one another, but they learned to trust each other in combat against the Covenant and the Flood. Thel proved his trustworthiness to John by actions like helping him rescue Sergeant Johnson, or counseling the Elites to not glass all of Earth when the Flood arrived on it. When they reached the Ark, the two's reliance on each other was cemented, and John showed respect for Thel by letting him be the one to kill the Prophet of Truth. The Arbiter also came to his aid on ''High Charity'' despite having no need to and chose to fight with him to the end of the fight with the Flood. 'Vadam was the last one to see John alive before the latter went missing-in-action after the war, and afterward expressed to Lord Hood mild doubt that John might be dead. After the [[Battle of Ealen IV|events]] on [[Ealen IV]] and learning that John was indeed still alive, Thel believed that he was the key to the galaxy's future.
John and [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s first meeting on Delta Halo was hostile, with the Arbiter continually referring to the Spartan as "Demon" and John's insistence that the San'Shyuum were making a "big mistake" by activating the Halo rings. Upon their next meeting on Earth, John was quick to try and kill the Sangheili before Johnson stopped him. They remained initially wary of one another, but learned to trust each other in combat against the Covenant and the Flood. Thel proved his trustworthiness to John through actions such as assisting him in the rescue of Sergeant Johnson, or counseling his fellow Sangheili not to glass all of Earth after the Flood outbreak at Voi. When they reached the Ark, the two's reliance on each other was cemented, and John demonstrated his respect for Thel by allowing him be the one to kill the Prophet of Truth. The Arbiter also came to his aid on ''High Charity'' despite having little need to do so, and chose to fight with John to the end in his efforts to stop the Flood. 'Vadam was the last one to see John alive before the latter went missing after the war, and afterward expressed to Lord Hood mild doubt that John might be dead. 'Vadam would later refer to John as a "friend", and upon learning that he was still alive following the [[Battle of Ealen IV|events]] on [[Ealen IV]], Thel believed that he was the key to the galaxy's future.

==Age==
John's age is affected by the same ambiguities as all beings who undergo extended voyages through space. By technical human Earth years, John is approximately 41 years old at the time he crash-landed on Installation 04, and 46 years old in [[2557]]. However, during the 27 Earth years that he has spent fighting the Covenant, and the five years that followed, considerable time was spent in [[cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]] on long [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] voyages. Cellular activity is slowed to near standstill in cryo-sleep, effectively halting the aging process. As a result, John's biological age is significantly less than his age as measured by Earth-standard chronology.
