Dasc Gevadim

Dasc Gevadim was a human spiritual guru, and founder of Triad, a belief system that taught that every human had three lives, and that spiritual transcendance occured only when you could link all three. He was popular throughout the UNSC's remaining colonies, running seminars through public channels, but disappeared in 2552. His followers believed that he had managed to attain the ascension he proclaimed was possible, and his followers increased exponentially, inspired by the "ascension."

In truth, Dasc had exiled himself to Beta Gabriel, a barely inhabited and overlooked world in the Epsilon Eridani system, to fool his followers and increase their numbers and devotion. During the invasion of the system in 2552, Dasc was one of many human occupants rounded up by a Jiralhanae - pack, intending to use them as prey in their hunts for sport. Connor Brien managed to stage an escape during an internal dispute within the pack, though he and Dasc were the only survivors and Dasc subsequently shot Brien so that neither could leave the planet, and his followers would not know that he still lived, retaining their faith. We was present as the touched down, deploying Marines to wipe out the Brute survivors, but made no attempt to contact them, remaining on Beta Gabriel.
