Tano 'Vadam was a Special Operations Sangheili hailing from the State of Vadam. Although he participated in several battles towards the end of the Human-Covenant War, including the Battle of Sigma Octanus, the Fall of Reach, the Battle of Callisto, and the Battle of Perth, he did not become distinguished until his post-war actions in the campaign against the Jiralhanae and the Covenant remnants.
Tano was known for his non-traditional values and more lenient than most Sangheili in what he considered dishonorable. He had an unusual level of empathy for non-Sangheili and was an advocate of the Sangheili-Human Alliance.
