Story of My Life
Hello, my name is Agodo. I come from the Kala hive, from the surface of Te. I was born in the 9th Age of Reclamation, but never served the Covenant. I remained on Te, to work diligently in trade to ensure the well-being of my home world.

In my early life, I trained in the Mgalekgolo martial arts, although I was not a violent being. I practiced the arts for the defense of my hive and for self-discipline. After I had attained a high knowledge of the martial arts, I was granted my own set of armor, a symbol that I had reached adulthood.

Shortly thereafter, I decided I wanted to explore the galaxy, to learn about the Forerunner, and to trade amongst new cultures. I first set off from Te aboard a Sangheili trading frigate, Flame of Vengeance, en route to Sanghelios. Aboard this ship I met my closest friend and ally, Adin 'Setum. He was the frigate's pilot, and a Major Elite. Adin was the first Sangheili I had ever met. After serving aboard the frigate for quite some time, I became Adin's bodyguard, and fulfilled this position for several months.

After a while, I purchased my own frigate, Mournful Warrior, to better serve Adin. Not long after I received my frigate, Adin was granted a Corvette, which became our fleet's new flagship. Adin and I continued to use our fleet in the trading business, which suited us quite well, although I occasionally assisted Adin in his missions from Sangheili Command.

One day, many years after I had left Te, Adin got a request to visit Iruiru War College from the Imperial Admiral of Sanghelios. I had been to Sanghelios many times on trading runs, but had never laid eyes on the grand halls of Iruiru. As soon as Adin and I landed our fleet, we set off on foot to the war college with great, eager haste. For hours, we journeyed the beautiful plazas, dining halls, and resting quarters. We even had the luxury of obtaining some exquisite quarters for our crews. During this lengthy stay, I had the honor of learning the art of the sword from Edib 'Luician. For two weeks I trained and was granted my own Energy Sword by my teacher: a high enough honor for Sangheili, but even greater for a Mgalekgolo! Edib even saw fit to grant me a graduation diploma for mastering the art of the sword.

The night after receiving my diploma, Adin and I met with the Imperial Admiral, another meeting of great honor as well. The food was rich and plentiful, and the halls grand and luxurious. The Imperial Admiral himself granted us with a mission to seek out and defeat a Jiralhanae group attempting to light the Delta Halo. He granted Adin 2 Ultras as a sign of good will, and as overseers of our mission and its success. We also received a Destroyer, Sword of Redemption, to add power to our fleet.

The frigates and the Corvette were stationed at the War College to train recruits. So we were given a powerful Destroyer known as the Sword of Redemption which has helped me and Adin defeat stray Jiralhanae.

Currently I am still in the trading business with Adin. We occasionally receive missions from Sangheili Command as well. After my journeys, I found I had two families, and two home worlds. The kindness and respect that the noble Sangheili showed to me, an ordinary Mgalekgolo, I will never forget. But I do not forget where I come from.
