==Personality and Traits==
A strong, brutal, cunning, and deceitful commander, Ghota was cruel and cold-blooded. He showed great disregard for many Sangheili values such as honor or piety. Ghota was a brutish figure, irreverent and arrogant but more cunning than most realized. He was well known to attack defenseless civilian targets to goad his enemy into traps and used other under-handed tactics, making him well-versed in psychological warfare.
As a Sangheili supremacist, Ghota was spiteful of other races. He was never much of a believer of the Great Journey and even before the Schism he was privately irreverent to the Prophets. Despite the Prophet's betrayal he retained a contemptuous hatred for humanity, as well as most other races, which lead to his defection to Jul 'Mdama. 
He was also greedy and materialistic, though he described himself as a "collector" he was in fact a mercenary and weapons-monger, collecting a impressive arsenal of weapons both Covenant and human for his own personal usage. Another trait was his habit of taking trophies. Ghota was famous among his troops for his trophy collection, taking mementos of certain battles or enemies he's slain including eight Spartan helmets and the precious Gravity Hammer of War Chieftain Torrentus.
