When the began, Bleza 'Kopalee had only recently become a . He was captured by forces, but instead of killing the elite, the brutes chose to keep him prisoner to be tortured for their personal entertainment. The Jiralhanae stripped 'Kopal, who had since removed the 'ee' suffix from his family name, of his armor and weapons and pit him against various enemies in gladiatorial pits they had organized. 'Kopal overcame every round he was forced into until the brutes decided to make him face something that would be impossible for him to survive.
