Kusovai Vadamee was a notorious Sangheilian criminal who was forced to become the Arbiter by the Prophet of Truth. He was the Arbiter who fought during the Battle of Reach in 2552 and was subsequently killed when Spartan Red Team planted nuclear warheads in the ship, killing Kusovai and all the crew onboard.

Personality and traits
Kusovai was a relentless and brutal criminal prior to being appointed as Arbiter. Kusovai frequently became infuriated by even the slightest error made by those who follow him and more often than not beat them to death with his bare hands. The right half of Kusovai's face was horribly burned when he was shot in the face multiple times with a plasma Rifle by an unnamed Spartan during the Battle of Reach in 2552. Kusovai was also taller and much stronger than usual elites. Like Ripa' Moramee, the one he idolized, Kusovai showed an unusual disregard for Sangheili traditions and this made is subordinates dislike him, but they would dare not oppose him. Kusovai does not beleve in the Great Journey, beleving the prophets "are full of lies and only the weak and incompitent minds would listen to such nonesense".

Infact, the only reason Kusovai obeyed the prophet's orders and "pretended" to beleve was to escape certain death in the prison...and resume the thing he does best: destroy. When agered, Kusovai is a mindless killing machine with an unquenchable bloodlust, and won't hesatate to mow down his own subordiantes if they got in his way. it is said that Kusovai even killed his maternal uncle, calling him "weak" before slaying him. It was his arrogant behavior is what eventually lead to his death.

History
Very very little is known about Kusovai's early life, other than notority on Sangheilios, he was kept in a covenant maximum security prison charged with an unknown fine (Supposedly he was stealing forerunner artifacts). It was said that he even brutally mauled one of the guards who tried to force him into his cell. After days of laying in his empty cell (Originally he had a cell mate but he killed him over a food ration) he was approached by the Prophet of Truth who had offered him an escape from his doomed fate. At first Kusovai flatly rejected the offer, but Truth threatened to have his execution arranged today if would not accept. Not wishing to die, Kusovai accepted the prophet's offer and thus don the sacrid Arbiter armor.

Kusovai's first assginment was to attack the Orbital Defense Generators on Reach. Under Kusovai's command, the covenant troops attacked the generators but where unexpectedly intercepted by UNSC forces, who sustaned heavy casualties but managed to push the covenant back. Apon the surviving troop's return, Kusovai demanded to speak to the commanding Elite in charge of the retreat. The Elite stood up, but was met with an energy sword to the throat instead of words. Kusovai held up the Elite's decapitated body and threatened to do the same to anyone who would dare try and cower in battle and retreat. Paralyzed in absoulte fear, the Covenant forces where forced to launch another attack on the Orbital Defense Generator. Before the covenant could get near the defense generators, a panicking officer at UNSC HIGHCOM had everything within 500 meters carpet bombed, causing the remaining covenant forces to be destroyed, but killed hundreds of UNSC personell in the process. Angered by the second failiure of his troops, Kusovai decided to take matters into his own hand. Kusovai had learned that these "super-humans in bizzare green armor" where going to attack a Covenant encampment and it was there that Kusovai would test his skill and brute strengh against these "demons" as the Covenant had known the as.

Staying a couple hundred feet away from the encampment with his active camo on, Kusovai laid in wait for the Spartan attack. His actions caught the intrest of a Grunt, who asked him what he was doing. Kusovai lied and told the Unggoy that he was surveying the area. The time finally came, but not as Kusovai had planned. The demons snuck into the base with hijacked banshees and planted nuclear weapons into the ship hovering above the camp. Seeing his chance, Kusovai attacked, catching a spartan off guard. The Spartan, Chris-105 fought back but was quickly overwhelmed by Kusovai's immense physical strengh, With a single kick, Kusovai sent the spartan flying into supply crates and weapon holders. But the bloodthirsty Arbiter was not finished yet and he continuted to thrash the spartan as if he was a toy. Finally Chris took out his MA5B assault rifle and put an entire clip into Kusovai, only to watch as the Assault Rifle's bullets harmlessly bounced off the monsterous elite's armor. With their mission close to an end, Chris scooped up an Flash-Bang grenade off of a dead marine and threw it into the Arbiter's face, blinding him temporaraly and allowing him to escape to CASTLE base with the other spartans.

After several days of fighting, Kusovai was stationed onboard a covenant Cruiser named "The Antagonist". Unbeknowist to Kusovai, this was the last day of his life. As the cruiser he was on was the very same one where the Spartans had planted the nuclear warheads. Kusovai demanded that the warheads be brought into the ship to be examined, but the crew where reluctaint. When one of Kusovai's elite subordiantes finally spoke up by claming the warheads would "doom us all", Kusovai grabbed the sangheili by the neck and smashed his face into a wraith, presumably killing him. Under Kusovai's flawed orders, the warheads where brought onboard. As soon as Kusovai began to inspect them, a message began to play "To your little freak-of-a friend you all "Arbiter", here's our parting gift". A white light filled the room. Kusovai's last words where "So be it" and the entire ship along with Kusovai was annihalated by the nuclear warheads. Reach was Glassed about 20 Hours after Kusovai was killed.

Armor and Equipment
Kusovai's set of armor was somewhat diffrent than the standard Arbiter armor, having a mouthguard, spiked hand gauntlets, and serrated spines on the right shoulder. While lacking personal energy shields, Kusovai's armor is seemingly invunerable to nearly all kinds of small arms fire, capable of taking an antire Assault Rifle clip and even Sniper bullets at one point. However not even this set of armor could withstand a nuclear explosion which caused Kusovai's death. Likeall Sangheili armor, Kusovai's armor featured Active camo.

Weapons
Ironically, Kusovai's weapons where used more frequently to punished his subordinates than his enemies. Kusovai prefered close-quarters combat, but used ranged weapondry with the time came. Kusovai was only known to have used a Plasma Rifle and Energy Sword during his entire service to the Covenant.

Trivia

 * His true father, Thel 'Vadamee would become the next Arbiter
 * Ironically, Kusovai considered himself to have superior judgmenet than all of his subordinates, but minutes before his death he insists of bring the nuclear warheads onboard The Antagonist, contradictory to his belief.
 * The UNSC was aware of his presence and knew of his bloodthirsty behavior and coined him with the name "Spartan Slayer".
