Biography
In 2535, Thel 'Vadamee and his Zealots, including 'Konaree, participated in the Battle of Charybdis IX against the UNSC under the Prophet of Regret's Fleet of Sacred Consecration. Later, they were tasked by Regret to locate and kill kig-yar traitors who were trading Covenant weapons with humans.

At the Battle of the Rubble, 'Konaree started to question the Hierarchs' intent on eradicating humanity, wondering why humans were not accepted into the Covenant, remarking they had nobility and fought until they couldn't anymore. He also started questioning the contradicting orders of the Hierarchs, as Regret ordered them to destroy the kig-yar heretics in the Rubble, while Reth claimed he was obeyind the orders of the Prophet of Truth. This led 'Konaree to believe the Covenant was not as infallible as he believed, suspecting the Hierarchs were manipulating all in the Covenant. He would pass down these concerns to 'Vadamee, who immediatly rebuked him and warned his friend to not entertain in such thoughts. He later attempted to help Thel into fighting against the Demon Margaret-053, but she was able to escape, which deeply enraged 'Vadamee.

After the end of the battle, Thel and Jora were brought before Truth and Regret aboard the Solemn Penance. Once Truth told both would be killed for their failures, 'Konaree drew his Type-1 energy sword to kill both Hierarchs, but 'Vadamee anticapted his attack and decapitated his former friend. Little did Thel know the attack saved his life, as the Hierarchs appreciated Thel's loyalty and granted him command of a newly built fleet.
