Thel 'Vadam
Once a high-ranking commander in the Covenant, Thel 'Vadam was branded a heretic and given the title of Arbiter.
As the Arbiter, his role was to undertake dangerous missions on behalf of the Covenant.
Eventually, he allies with humanity to combat the Flood and the Covenant Loyalists threatening the galaxy.
In Halo 3, Arbiter fights alongside the Master Chief during the battle on the Ark, showcasing his commitment to the alliance and the greater good of the universe.
Trustworthy, protective, and open-minded, he hails from the Sangheili, warrior caste, and is estranged from his family due to the consequences of his betrayal, having survived multiple betrayals by fellow Covenant members and fought numerous battles against human forces.
