Thel 'Vadam: Difference between revisions

Line 190:

Prior to the release of ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', there was much speculation on the exact identity of the Arbiter before he was forced to accept the rank. Some believed him to be [[Orna 'Fulsamee]], the shipmaster of a [[Covenant Destroyer]] in the Fleet of Particular Justice, pointing out his apparent considerable authority over the fleet and the fact that a Prophet traveled aboard his ship. Others insisted that the Special Operations Commando that the Master Chief wounded in hand-to-hand combat aboard the ''Ascendant Justice'' was the Arbiter, given that the ''Ascendant Justice'' was described as a Flagship. The fact that the Supreme Commander was shown in the ''Halo Graphic Novel'' to use the Flagship ''Seeker of Truth'', and not the ''Ascendant Justice'', did not do anything to quell the speculation until the release of Tobias Buckell's novel four years after the revelation of the character, which even then made only a single reference at the very end of the story to the fact that the Elite the plot had been following for the entire book had been promoted to Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice.

It wasn't until later videos on ''Halo Waypoint'' that the Arbiter was explicitly identified as Thel 'Vadam. ''Glasslands'' marks the first time he's referred to as the Arbiter in a book.
