'''Usze ‘Taham''' | '''Usze ‘Taham''' was a [[Sangheili|Sangheili (Elite)]] assigned to the [[Fleet Security]] of the ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]''‘s [[Special Warfare Group]].<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack</ref> | ||

Although Usze 'Taham was born into a respected merchant family in the state of Taham, he was fathered by [[Toha 'Sumai]], one of the prominent sword-fighters of this age, meaning that Toha mated with Usze's mother, a privilege granted by being a ''Swordsman'' and Usze was raised by his mother and her husband. Usze graduated with honors from the top war college in the [[Iruiru]] region of [[Yermo]], [[Sanghelios]] (a distinction he shares with [[Rtas 'Vadum]]). Shortly after receiving his first post within the [[Covenant Navy]], he was offered a place on the [[Prophets]]' [[Honor Guard]] but he declined citing “lack of practical experience”. In truth, he had no desire to be part of a largely ceremonial unit, and at the end of his third combat tour, Usze 'Taham again refused the post, even though his superiors warned him such behavior could be misinterpreted as [[wikipedia:Apostasy|apostasy]]. | Although Usze 'Taham was born into a respected merchant family in the state of Taham, he was fathered by [[Toha 'Sumai]], one of the prominent sword-fighters of this age, meaning that Toha mated with Usze's mother, a privilege granted by being a ''Swordsman'' and Usze was raised by his mother and her husband.

Since that time Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and served with distinction for two additional tours, before the [[Great Schism]]. Following the dissolution of the [[Covenant]], he was approached by the [[Ascetics]] to become one of their liaisons within the [[Covenant Navy|Navy]]. | Since that time, Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and served with distinction for two additional tours, before the [[Great Schism]].

Usze wears an [[Assault Harness]], with a dark purplish color similar to standard [[Special Operations Sangheili]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', but, rather than being dark purple, it is more similar in shade to the armor of [[Covenant]] vehicles or ships. | Usze wears an [[Assault Harness]], with a dark purplish color similar to standard [[Special Operations Sangheili]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', but, rather than being dark purple, it is more similar in shade to the armor of [[Covenant]] vehicles or ships. | ||
