Zel 'Tiham

(formerly Zel 'Tihamee) was a Sangheili Ascetic, and honored warrior that defected from the Covenant, joining Kithel 'Mdormee's Splinter Group. After serving in the Covenant Empire for most of his life, he trusted the prophets and believed in their war against the humans. He and Kithel 'Mdormee became rivals during the war, both looking to become famed Covenant generals. However, after the breakout of the Great Schism, Zel 'Tiham saw many of his Sangheili brothers slain by Jiralhanae in Madagascar. He, alongside other Sangheili, waged a war against the Jiralhanae, killing hundreds while in Madagascar. Zel eventually met up with Kithel 'Mdormee in Madagascar and joined his splinter group. On October 31, 2552, 'Mdormee and his team were surrounded by Covenant Loyalists. Zel sacrificed himself to buy the rest of the Sangheili more time to escape, killing all of the Loyalists. A few minutes afterward, he was found by a patrol of Jiralhanae. They taunted him, however Zel eventually got the last laugh, detonated an Anskum-pattern plasma grenade he had left over, killing everyone in the vicinity, including himself. His body and his victims were later discovered by ODST Private First Class Jackson Davis.
