(Put that thing in parenthesis into a note. Made SPARTAN plural (Johnson=Orian Program). Just speculating, but I think he hated all of the Prophets equally.)

Thel, like most Sangheili, is keen to do things in an honorable manner and according to the Sangheili honor codes, though he is and even was when fighting the humans, ''much'' more flexible and thinks outside the box more so than other Sangheili (examples of this include: The Battle of the threshold Gas Mine Vadam offered to cut the cable to force the Heretic Leader out of the gas mine, and in the Battle of the Quarantine Zone he was able to incapapicitate Miranda Keyes and Avery Johnson in a matter of moments. His personality changed a great deal during and directly preceding the Great Schism. While once zealous and unquestioningly obedient to the Prophets' will, after learning of the true nature of the Halo rings, he became more open-minded and accepting of the humans, his former mortal enemies.

After the Battle of Installation 04, he was honestly ashamed for his failure at Halo, and only wanted to regain his honor dying for the Prophets. He begun to doubt their words after the betrayal of Tartarus and his encounter with the Gravemind, but he still remained stubbornly attached to his faith. When he heard the truth of the rings from 343 Guilty Spark, he finally accepted it and tried to offer peace to Tartarus, who refused.

After he learned and accepted the truth about the Halos, he also gained respect for the humans. He may have even felt sort of guilt for his past actions towards them, as he prevented Rtas from completely glassing Earth even though that meant risking a Flood outbreak. He respects particularly Johnson and the Chief, despite trouble the Spartan had caused him in the past,grieving over Johnson's death and the Chief's disappearance. He also developed a hatred toward the Prophet of Truth, wanting revenge for his betrayal.

In spite of his understandable resentment of Truth, the he hatred he Thel' Vadam has towards the [[Jiralhanae]] does not appear to be as strong or destructive as that of other [[Sangheili]]; one example of this is when the Arbiter tried to reason with [[Tartarus]] in Installation 05's Control Room. He is shown to be true to his title "Arbiter" as he often tries to negotiate with some of his other enemies (e.g. Drones) and will only kill wave after wave of enemies if he has to. He has deep respect for his fellow Sangheili (part of it being shown in his first meeting with Rtas 'Vadum, and the things he says when he crouches by bodies of dead Elites in Halo 3).
