Following his arrival at [[Earth]], 'Vadum had become more calm, possibly because he spent less time fighting on the ground and more time commanding ships.

However, this was not because of the general hatred 'Vadum once held towards the humans but to protect the rest of the galaxy from infection, as he did not want to gamble that even one [[Flood spore|spore]] might survive the glassing, and most probably would have had humanity die with what dignity they had left than be used as tools by the [[Gravemind]].
