- "To spill blood outside of battle is a great dishonor. Words burned into all Sangheili since they were young, and to me. And for a time, I believed. I watched my brothers die around me and never dared give aid. 'Stitching a wound closed brings dishonor, setting a broken bone brings dishonor.' Words of the ignorant who never saw undetonated Needler rounds pulsing beneath a brother's skin. If shame is the price of compassion, so be it."
- — Cham 'Lokeema on his status as a medic
Cham 'Lokeema was a medic in the service of the Swords of Sanghelios. He broke the old taboo of Sangheili medics being a sign of dishonor, and took great pride in it. In 2558, he made a log narrating how he watched other Sangheili die during the Human-Covenant War and how he did not aid them due to the Sangheili's old beliefs, revealing his thoughts had changed. The log would later be accessed by Spartan Jameson Locke.[1]
Trivia
- 'Lokeema is the only known named Sangheili medic.
- 'Lokeema's divergence from the ancient taboos, alongside the inclusion of female Sangheili in the ranks of the Swords and the elevated position of Unggoy soldiers reveals how more inclusive and open-minded the Swords of Sanghelios are in comparison to the old Covenant and its other remnants.
