Biography
The Package
- Main article: Battle of the Unnamed Star System
At some point during the war, this Sangheili's fleet captured Dr. Catherine Halsey while she was cryogenically frozen, and she was placed inside his flagship; however, magnetic interference placed in the system prevented them from jumping to Slipspace. He realized the UNSC would come after her and created decoy beacons from antimatter charges aboard his ships. When a team of SPARTANs attacked, he set his trap, detonating one of the charges and killing Solomon-069. When the rest of the Spartans realized where Halsey was, they headed toward the Fleet Master's assault carrier. The Fleet Master remained confident that the SPARTANs would not make it aboard his ship, arguing with a Major Domo Sangheili, Thel 'Lodamee, who had fought them before and felt that they posed a great threat than the Fleet Master realized. The Fleet Master held the Major in contempt for not dying with the rest of his batallion in the engagement, saying 'Lodamee "...lack[ed] the heart to die with honor."
After the SPARTANs boarded the ship and started advancing toward Halsey, the Fleet Master ordered that section of the ship to be detached. However, John-117 nonetheless continued toward Halsey and retrieved her from her cryo-chamber. Soon, thehis fleet cleared the magnetic interference and began the jump to Slipspace, breaking off the entire lower section of the assault carrier before he left, in an attempt to kill the two humans. When one of his bridge officers pointed out to him that this action abandoned 'Lodamee and his group as well, the Fleet Master shrugged it off, remarking that, "It doesn't matter. He is already shamed. His only path now is death... or Arbiter...." In a twist of fate, this actually saved John-117 and Dr. Halsey, as 'Lodamee had defeated the SPARTAN in an energy sword duel and was about to kill the two humans. By detaching this section of the ship and pulling 'Lodamee out of the fight, the Fleet Master unintentionally allowed the humans to escape. As the ship's gravity lift pulled him away from his prey, 'Lodamee furiously screamed, "Commander! You fool! A thousand hells await you!" It is likely that the Fleet Master was punished for this failure.
