Biography
Gek was born October 19, 2499 on the island of Alytcos on Sanghelios. 'Lhar served ruthlessly during the Human-Covenant war, after the war he eventually became a field commander in the Covenant remnant.
During the Requiem campaign of early 2558, Gek greeted Jul 'Mdama as he arrived at his location in a Forerunner structure on Requiem, informing him that they were still preparing "the shrine". Jul then brought Dr. Henry Glassman, who had offered his knowledge in exchange for his life.[1] Gek was later tasked to watch over Dr. Glassman as he tried to work on their Forerunner "shrine". When Jul came to check on his progress, Glassman got frustrated and started to walk toward Jul, Gek quickly pulled his tether to get him to stop.[2] Joining 'Mdama on watching the assault on Galileo Base by their Covenant faction, Gek was informed that 'Mdama was only trying to create a show of attempting to recover the Didact's Gift, making it seem important to the humans.[3].
Back at their base of operations somewhere in the tunnel complex of Sniper Alley, Glassman managed to somehow activate something in the shrine, prompting all the present Sangheili (save Jul) to bow it. Noticing none of the Sangheili were holding his collar now, Glassman fled the antechamber in fear. As Jul tried to touch the artifact's energy sphere, it physically rejected him, prompting the Sangheili Commander to direct his fury at Glassman, who was now gone. Half-dozen of the present Sangheili gave pursuit to the doctor but Jul held Gek back. After being told Glassman's escape was unacceptable, Gek reassured Jul that he would deal with the matter personally, leaving Jul and his two guards with the artifact. Gek soon found Glassman's discarded collar and decided to activate a remote detonator for Glassman's explosive harness, but Spartan Gabriel Thorne managed to pull off the harness in time and toss it toward Glassman's pursuers, killing them all in the explosion. Gek was able to observe the aftermath and not long after, picked up the trail of the fleeing humans.[4] Gek tracked Glassman and Thorne to the Quarry, and managed to catch the duo off guard with his active camouflage. After a short close combat fight with Thorne, Gek eventually gained the upper hand and was about to execute Thorne with his energy sword when the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived and killed Gek. Majestic then looted Gek's body, including his energy sword, his active camouflage, the dog tags attached to his armor, and a holographic map.[5]
