Dasc Gevadim: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:24, October 12, 2015

"Unification through disentanglement. A glorious unbecoming. Freedom from the quivering vessels of self we've clung to for so long. Do not fear these events. Do not fear their power. For as the world's shake, we are inevitably arriving at the precipice of existence. The edge of a metaverse that is awakening for us. As we who have only known the night are about to bear witness to the first dawn. That is the advent of the third life and I find myself humbly bestowed with a genetic imperative to release your fear. To help you step lively from the edge into ascendance. The spiritual genocide that awaits those who do not open their eyes, the abyss beneath them, I cannot bear. This is only the beginning."

— Das Gevadim to his followers, during 2558 about the awaken of the Guardians^[1]

Dasc Gevadim was a phony human spiritual guru, and founder of Triad, a belief system that taught that every human had three lives, and that spiritual transcendence occurred only when you could link all three.

Biography

He was popular throughout the UNSC's remaining colonies, running seminars through public channels, but disappeared in 2552. His followers believed that he had managed to attain the ascension he proclaimed was possible, and his followers increased exponentially, inspired by the "ascension."

In truth, Dasc had exiled himself to Beta Gabriel, a barely inhabited and overlooked world in the Epsilon Eridani System, to fool his followers and increase their numbers and devotion. During the invasion of the system in 2552, Dasc was one of many human occupants rounded up by a Jiralhanae pack, intending to use them as prey in their hunts for sport. Connor Brien managed to stage an escape during an internal dispute within the pack, and though he and Dasc were the only survivors, Dasc subsequently shot Brien so that neither could leave the planet, and his followers would not know that he still lived, retaining their faith. He was present as the exfiltration craft touched down, deploying Marines to wipe out the Jiralhanae survivors, but made no attempt to contact them, remaining on Beta Gabriel, feeling completely forlorn.^[2]

Legacy

In 2558, while Dasc is still seen as transcended, his followers still believe in the Triad and preach his words, and are public with their opinions on social media sites.^[3]

Production note

Gevadim is voiced by Mark Hamill in Hunt the Truth.
