— Das Gevadim to his followers, during 2558 about the awakening 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]

In 2558, while Dasc was still seen as transcended, his followers still believed in the Triad and preached his words, and were public with their opinions on social media sites.[3] In late 2558, Gevadim resurfaced in Waypoint, claiming that he had "willed himself" back to the physical realm in order to "illuminate" his followers about the spiritual ascendance the recent appearance of the Guardians on several human colonies would supposedly bring about.[1]
