Biography

Early life

In the last decade of the Human-Covenant War, Okro 'Vagaduun was considered one of the most lethal infantry assets in the Covenant, eventually being granted the title of Blademaster by the Minister of Resolution.[1]

After the war ended, he returned to Suban, where Atriox offered him a place in the Banished, which he accepted one year after the Blooding Years began.[1]

War for the Ark

Main article: Second Ark Conflict

To enact his plan to return to the galaxy for some unspecified business, Atriox needed the fragments of a slipspace flake stored within the keyship that the Prophet of Truth had used to travel to Installation 00. These shards would allow for a slipspace portal to be opened to the human colony of Reach. As such, Atriox chose 'Vagaduun to participate in a raid on the vessel led by Chieftain Minas.[2]

The blademaster led a team of Sangheili warriors while Minas and Captain Zeretus led two other teams, both composed of choice Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar, and Unggoy soldiers. Each team rode in a separate Phantom dropship to where the Anodyne Spirit rested in a region of the Ark they had dubbed Mahsko. Once inside the keyship, 'Vagaduun expressed confidence that the vessel was indeed devoid of any living beings, but that they should still be careful regardless. His caution was proved to be well-founded when surviving Covenant loyalists ambushed the group, attempting to repel them from the ship that had landed on the Ark nearly seven years prior.[2]

Displaying his masterful swordsmanship, 'Vagaduun's efforts were vital to the success of the mission. As Minas's team found the Forerunner device called "the Adytum" and extricated the shards from within it, the Sangheili and his team valiantly—and perhaps overconfidently—held off the Covenant defenders. 'Vagaduun and Minas were the only two survivors of their respective teams, the others having sacrificed themselves so that they might escape the keyship with the crystal. After they reunited with Zeretus and his team, that is exactly what they did. They evacuated in the same Phantoms that they had used to approach the vessel.[2]

With their mission a success and the crystal shards in Banished hands, Okro 'Vagaduun and a small cast of other accomplished warriors—including Balkarus, Jato 'Ratum, and Zeretus—were picked by Atriox himself to return with him to the Milky Way. The crew of warriors, aboard Atriox's personal Lich went through the Portal on the Ark and emerged on Reach where they met Escharum and the Keepers of the One Freedom and left the planet on the former's intrusion corvette.[5]

Conflict on Zeta Halo

Main article: Installation 07 conflict

In 2560, 'Vagaduun served under Escharum during his occupation of Installation 07. During this time, he was part of the Banished's Blind Lance, Fifth Combat Element.[1] He was ultimately targeted by Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 after being identified and located, with the Master Chief eventually confronting and killing 'Vagaduun.[4]

Equipment

Fitting of a Sangheili blademaster, Okro 'Vagaduun is known to wield a Type-1 energy sword. He is also proficient in the use of plasma-based weaponry. During the raid on the Anodyne Spirit, 'Vagaduun was seen dual wielding enemy plasma rifles to great effect.[2] During the Installation 07 conflict he was seen using a Duelist Energy Sword while trying to best John-117. The Weapon was able to download the specifications of the weapon so that it could be recreated for the Master Chief at his forward operating bases.[4]
