Rtas 'Vadum: When we join the Covenant, we took an oath!
Elites: According to our station! All without exception!
Rtas 'Vadum: On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons - we swore to uphold the Covenant!
Elites: Even to our dying breath!
Rtas 'Vadum: Those who would break this oath are heretics - worthy of neither pity nor mercy! Even now they use our Lords' creations to broadcast their lies!
Elites: We shall grind them into dust!
Rtas 'Vadum: And continue our march to glorious salvation!
~ Rtas 'Vadum and the Elites swearing their oaths to the Covenant.
If it takes my death, so be it. You will not defeat the Covenant.
~ Rtas 'Vadum.

Rtas 'Vadum is a supporting character in both Halo 2 and Halo 3, and the protagonist of both The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor and Halo: Shadow of Intent. He was a Sangheili Commander of the Covenant Army before the Great Schism, being extremely loyal to the empire and was the only known Elite who held the title of Special Operations Commander in the Halo series, allowing him to control every Spec Ops unit. When the Great Schism, he was one of the leaders of Covenant Separatists and served as the Shipmaster of Shadow of Intent

He was voiced by Robert Davi, who also portrayed Franz Sanchez in License to Kill, Jake Fratelli in The Goonies, Goran Vata in Expendables 3, Robert Masterson in The Taking of Beverly Hills, Hans Zarba in Son of the Pink Panther and Alejandro Sosa in Scarface: The World Is Yours.

History[]

He helped Arbiter Thel 'Vadam during his suicidal missions and sent SpecOps units to assist in eliminating the Heretics and retrieving the Index at the Library. Rtas then become one of the heads of the Covenant Separatists alongside the Arbiter and Imperial Admiral Xytan Jar Wattinree. He glassed the half of Africa on Earth with his ships, eliminating the Flood on Earth but Humanity lost half of a continent. 'Vadam and his fleet alongside the UNSC fleet then followed the Prophet of Truth to Installation 00, the Ark, to prevent him from firing the Halo Array. After the war, Rtas and Thel along with the remaining Elites returned to Sanghelios. 

Personality[]

Rtas 'Vadum is a quick, smart, and ingenious tactician and an unparalleled fighter, especially with an Energy Sword, and is an excellent leader. He is also a good decision-maker and chooses to spend lives very carefully. Very much like his friend Thel 'Vadam, Rtas is able to think outside the box and does not rigidly adhere to the Sangheili's code of honor when it does not benefit him. He expresses great care for his soldiers, even the Unggoy/Grunts, even warning them to take cover behind the Sangheili when danger presented itself. In time, Rtas has begun to have respect for certain humans, Master Chief in particular. 'Vadum is one of only two known Sangheili to call Chief "Spartan" rather than "Demon", the other being the Arbiter.
