Bio: Zaku 'Vudem was born to an Elite Aristocrat holding the rank of Councilor and a Sangheili woman of noble birth and bearing. Young Zaku was known to have been proficient in melee weapons from an early age, using plasteel training blades to great affect at the tender age of nine. He looked up to Councilor 'Vudemee, and possessed a fervent desire to rise in the ranks of the Covenant Military.
Upon joining the Covenant Military Forces, Zaku was granted the suffix -ee to his surname, becoming Zaku 'Vudemee. The young Sangheili rose from the rank of Minor almost immediately, and was a Major for a brief time.
His quick promotions were due to his incredibly tactical mind, always calculating, scheming, and devising layer upon layer of contingency plans. His rise to the rank of Ship Master was not unexpected, and Zaku commanded with great prestige. He fought at a fair number of battles in the Human-Covenant War, and earned quite a reputation for ruthlessly glassing human worlds. One of his major orders was to order the ship he commanded (then a Covenant CCS-Battlecruiser) to begin the glassing of Reach. The other ships followed in suit... thus, he was ultimately responsible for the Glassing of Reach. However, upon learning of Truth's lies, he was one of the first Sangheili to rally others to the cause of the Covenant Separatists. During the Second Battle of Earth, he served with much distinction, personally leading the ground troops alongside his Field Masters, and defending civilians to the best of his abilities.
His Covenant Assault Carrier, the Radiant Jewel battled excellently alongside Rtas 'Vadum's assault carrier after the Second Battle of Earth. He returned to Sangheilos with the rest of the Sangheili, and helped repulse the Jiralhanae invasion. Sometime after this, Zaku 'Vudem temporarily left his homeworld with his personal Phantom- the Sleek Shadow- and his squad, and hunted down three rogue prophets with the aid of UNSC specialists.
During the UNSC-Rifter war, Zaku was close to attaining the Fleet Master rank, and wore his gold Zealot armor into battle. He used a custom gravity chair much like his retired superior, Rtas 'Vadum. However, due to the disastrous war, Zaku's promotion was withheld. While somewhat resentful, he continued to serve loyally. Eventually, Zaku was placed in military command of the Three Fleets of Aggression sent to assist the humans when the Rifters assaulted Earth, while Katar was placed in technical command. They arrived too late to save the planet and its civilians, but they saved the stragglers and decimated the remaining Rifters. The Zealot then led the three main fleets to the haven world of New Jerusalem. This time, he arrived in time to save a large number of the planet's inhabitants before the Rifters destroyed the planet. The UNSC's leaders survived, as did a noticeable chunk of the UNSC military forces. However, the Sangheili had only saved the dregs of a once-great military. Humanity was no longer a great power for the time being...
Five years later, Zaku was again placed at the naval command of the Three Fleets once more. This time, they were to aid the recuperating humans in stopping the Rifters from activating the Halo that would destroy the human and Sangheili. So Zaku went down in a second wave once it seemed the battle was going well. However, The fleets took a beating and were forced to retreat- which left Zaku 'Vudem and his forces stranded on the Halo with thousands of Halos and a small force of humans and Sangheili in the Control tower... and they were separated by a virtual army of Rifters. But they had Zaku 'Vudem. And Zaku 'Vudem can beat a whole army with ten Sangheili for backup.
After escaping with the surviving humans (the human leader and two other humans' A.I.s perished), they were picked up by the New Covenant's High Prophet of Obedience. He is currently negotiating, alongside Katar and the SPARTANs, with the New Covenant.
