Jul 'Mdama (Earth-2042)

"I know what the Librarian will say, Glassman. She will tell us where all things sacred are hidden in the galaxy. Ships, weapons, bounties beyond our imagining. And she will tell us how to make those miracles our own."

- Jul 'Mdamar rallying his troops after speaking with Doctor Henri Glassman

Jul 'Mdama, formerly Jul 'Mdamaee, known to his followers as the "Didact's Hand" or the "Hand of the Didact", was a male Sangheili shipmaster previously in the service of the Covenant for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Fueled by hatred for the Republic's successor, the Galactic Empire, after the death of his wife, 'Mdama became the supreme leader of a resurgent Covenant faction in the wake of the Great Schism. Despite decades of eluding the public light, his activities on the shield world Requiem after the fall of the Empire established him as a highly valued target for the New Republic. Because of this, SPARTAN-IVs trained against a simulated version of him in Warzone.
