*The Arbiter in ''Halo 2'' is considered, during gameplay, the highest ranking Elite in the area. This means that if the player is killed, lower ranked Grunts in the area will become scared and some might say "Leader dead! Run away!" among others, alongside the dialogue they already use when the Arbiter dies "Arbiter? Dead?!". | *The Arbiter in ''Halo 2'' is considered, during gameplay, the highest ranking Elite in the area.

Thus, Tartarus and the Prophet of Truth may have referred to him as "the incompetent who lost ''Ascendant Justice''" due to the events that transpired that resulted to the loss of the ship, not because he was directly responsible for losing it in combat against the Master Chief. | *In the story ''[[Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'', from the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', 'Vadam is shown in purple ceremonial command armor, and is in command of the ''[[Seeker of Truth]]''.
