Happy birthday to Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum!
Today is his -464th birthday!
Rtas was born on Sanghelios and raised in a keep by the sea. He spent much of his childhood exploring the shoreline and hunting the creatures within. He graduated with honors from a top war college, setting the course for his advancement.
By 2552, he held the rank of Special Operations Commander, specializing in discreet, unconventional warfare--often answering directly to a Hierarch. He served under then-Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadam(ee), who tasked him with investigating the agricultural support ship Infinite Succor, which sent the fleet a distress beacon. Once on board, 'Vadum(ee) discovered that the ship had been overtaken by the Flood, making him one of the first to encounter the outbreak from Installation 04. Recognizing the threat of the Flood spreading, he and his team fought their way to the bridge to initiate self-destruction protocols. Before he could escape, he was forced to fight his Flood-infected comrade, Bero 'Kusovai, who had been his best swordsman. During the engagement, the Flood form cut off 'Vadum's left mandibles with an energy sword, leaving him permanently maimed.
After the destruction of Installation 04, he and Thel 'Vadam were given a mission to find and kill Sesa 'Refumee, a Covenant defector who was labeled a heretic for his (correct) denial of the Great Journey. By this point, his once-superior Thel 'Vadam had been publicly shamed, stripped of his title, and was appointed as the Arbiter. Though Rtas lost respect for Thel, he still recognized him as a skilled warrior and valuable asset.
Rtas and Thel fought their way through the gas mine, killing the heretic leader and taking 343 Guilty Spark with them. When the Prophet of Regret arrived at Earth unprepared and fled to Installation 05, Rtas sent a large group of reinforcements to protect the Hierarch, before being unknowingly thwarted by the Prophet of Truth. When Truth used these events to justify the Changing of the Guard, he protested but accepted the decision.
However, following these events, he and Thel forged a mutual trust in their unified disagreement with the decision, and their experiences fighting together. When Thel was betrayed by Tartarus, Rtas was the first person he told, kicking off the Great Schism and forming the first Covenant separatist group.
While Thel fought his way to Installation 05's control room to prevent the firing of the Halo, 'Vadum engaged Jiralhanae forces in orbit, capturing the Kerel-pattern assault carrier Shadow of Intent, which would become the flagship of the newly-formed Fleet of Retribution. Rtas was instrumental in forming an alliance with the humans, quickly recognizing the importance of Flood containment above their previous hostilities. He ordered his fleet to glass Voi, a restrained measure meant to balance his serious interest in containment with the delicate alliance with the UNSC.
At the close of the war, Rtas and the fleet would follow Thel and the UNSC to the Ark, providing joint support to pave the way for Master Chief and Thel to stop Truth. When the ceasefire between the humans and Sangheili was formalized, he escorted Thel back to Sanghelios, but would not stay for long.
Though he grew weary of fighting, Rtas continued to serve as commander of the Shadow of Intent. After answering a distress signal from the colony Rahnelo, he learned that some San'Shyuum--who had largely gone into hiding after the end of the war--were still alive through Prelate Tem'Bhetek. He went on a mission with Tul 'Juran to stop 'Bhetek's misguided revenge efforts against the Sangheili, believing that the Swords of Sanghelios were responsible for the death of his family. Rtas convinced him of the truth, and 'Bhetek died trying to aid him. After this encounter, Rtas set aside his resentment of the San'Shyuum, recognizing that some deserved death, but some, like 'Bhetek, had also been deceived. Though he was offered leave by Thel, who was now a brother to him, Rtas declined, having learned that thousands of San'Shyuum yet survived, and was determined to locate those responsible for the lies of the Covenant. By present canon, he continues this campaign.
While serving the Covenant, Rtas was devout but not a zealot, willing to challenge orders from the San'Shyuum, including threatening to kill the Minister on the Infinite Succor for his singular interest in his own safety over Flood containment protocols, and his vocal disagreement with the Changing of the Guard. Though he is war-weary and embarrassed by his disfigurement, which makes it difficult for him to enunciate, he still prioritizes his responsibility to his species and loyalty to Thel over his own wishes. He is more tolerant than typical for his species and values pragmatism over tradition, willing to let female Sangheili and Unggoy in his ranks before either was deemed acceptable. In other words, he's special and amazing and you love him. And that's still lore so jot that down.
In canon (~2560), he is turning 73!
If it wasn't apparent, Rtas is this blog's favorite character and EVERYONE IS GOING TO CLAP RIGHT NOW.
#YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS#I LOVE HIM#CELEBRATE MY BOY ITS HIS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!#feminist king#species unifying king#LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO#rtas vadum#rtas 'vadum#sangheili#halo#his h2a appearance gets so much attention so i decided to go more classic with these gifs#some rtas deep cuts#and yes i changed his eye color to green

Noticed there's one iconic Sangheili still missing on this blog, so: Rtas 'Vadum (Halo) Concept? Either or both Human and Sangheili darling, Romantic/Platonic intentions.
You are so right, we need more Rtas content. Here you go!
Yandere! Rtas 'Vadum Concept
Pairing: Romantic/Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Overprotective/Possessive behavior, Manipulation, Mentions of "mate", Human/Sangheili darling, Some violence, Threats of isolation/kidnapping, Dubious companionship.
Rtas, compared to a lot of other Sangheili, probably wouldn't mind a Sangheili or Human darling.
He is similar to Thel but even during the war he probably wouldn't mind too much.
Rtas is known to not follow the Sangheili way if it does not benefit him.
He'd be more likely to have a Sangheili Darling during the Human/Covenant war and The Great Schism.
Yet near the end of The Great Schism and the end of the war he'd be more likely to have a human Darling.
Rtas is similar to Thel as they both worked with one another for so long.
They've both seen how capable John was as a human which changed their view on humans.
I feel like Rtas is, surprisingly, not the most intense yandere.
I feel that for this concept I'd focus on an AU after the war.
He'd keep the one he's obsessive about on his ship as he continues his duties.
After the war Rtas is much more tame due to not being in battle as often anymore.
He'd probably be more intense during the end of the war but he certainly tones himself down later.
Instead of going everywhere with this concept to try and tackle every possible outcome… I'll try to stick with the base idea that came to mind when I think of Yandere Rtas.
Yandere Rtas with his obsession who is part of his ship crew/a crewmate.
This could work with both Sangheili and human darlings.
You were recruited on the Shadow of Intent due to your skills with technology.
You are either a Sangheili who worked with Covenant carrier ships often or a human that happens to be skilled in adapting to Covenant tech.
Either way you are placed on the ship due to your skill.
You'll fit in more as a Sangheili as most of the ship crew is Sangheili.
As a human you'll experience a bit more push back from your fellow crew, yet Rtas would call them off.
Rtas has been shown to care deeply for his crew.
Even when he worked for the Covenant he cared for even the Unggoy under his command.
That doesn't change now.
Rtas looks after you as part of his crew.
This care soon extends into his obsession towards you, romantic or platonic.
While you can guess a romantic obsession would happen more likely with a fellow Sangheili, a human isn't impossible after the war.
Rtas can get defensive of you on his ship.
He would see his obsession as a close member of his crew, even when they're new.
He listens to every report you give and has each repair you do monitored.
During meetings you are often called to listen in.
Rtas is one of the few Sangheili who doesn't have prejudice.
He doesn't care about your gender or species.
He just sees you for your skills and respects you for that.
Even if your combat isn't the best, you're still an important asset.
Due to the fact he cares about you, Rtas may give you a high ranking on the ship if he feels you've earned it.
Other Sangheili say this is unfair, only for Rtas to threaten them with kicking them out.
Rtas by this point in his life is a tame yandere.
His violent streak has settled down, although he is fully capable of fighting.
His primary goal has been to hunt down those who have wronged the Sangheili.
The ship docks at times but you're rarely let off of it.
Rtas claims he needs someone to make sure the ship isn't hijacked or damaged.
All of which are valid concerns yet the biggest concern he doesn't tell you.
He doesn't want you to become a casualty, especially if you're human.
Rtas’ obsession is subtle.
For the most part you just assume he does what he does due to him caring for his crew.
Yet as time goes on you'll notice that isn't entirely the case.
Rtas soon begins to call you in private to chat with you.
His obsession is still very slow and planned, very subtle.
When you first entered the Shadow of Intent you were already locked in.
Rtas does mean well when it comes to you yet he begins to show possessive tendencies.
He calls you in to sit beside him, he growls at other Sangheili around you.
It's clear to the rest of the crew he's taken claim to you.
If you try to leave his crew he threatens you under his breath.
He still has holding cells on this ship… don't comply and you may be sent there.
For the most part Rtas is subtle and protective of you.
Although like most Sangheili, Rtas has a possessive side.
He prefers to hide that side of himself.
Although he isn't above putting other Sangheili of his crew in their place when it comes to you.
He can either see you as a close comrade or, well… a mate.
He's more possessive if you're seen as a mate obviously.
The good news is he doesn't mean any harm to you.
You're a skilled crewmate that matters so much to him.
The others on the ship may think their Shipmaster is acting weird.
But he isn't acting weird…
Not as long as he has you.
While Rtas isn't a very intense yandere…
He'll do anything to keep you on his ship to himself… including locking you away until needed.
