The Story of Usze 'Taham and N'tho 'Sroam

When Halo 3 was released over 13 years ago, folks who played the campaign with four player would play as Master Chief, the Arbiter, and two extra Elites. One in default Minor coloration, the other in crimson Assault armor. For some time people have wondered who exactly are these two Sangheili. It is a known fact however that they both have a rich lore beyond just random models. Lore that has been developed over the years to where they’ve become fan favorites. But the question remains: who are these two, and what is their backstory? Well…they are Usze ‘Taham and N’tho ‘Sraom and this is their story.

[@Ender_Queen09]

The most underrated playable characters in halo

[@cfgeneric7677]

The random ODST’s in Halo 3 ODST were pretty underrated along with the player two arbiter and Noble 7 through 9.

[@tanoshiofm3852]

These two and Rtas' Vadum need to appear in Halo Infinite.

[@generic4012]

And Ayit sevi

[@DanielGonzzz]

9000% agreed

[@midgetman4206]

It also be cool to see mahkee 'chava, but if if we can't have these than I least want to see Thel and Rtas kicking ass again

[@WTC-1990]

I'd like to see all 3 get their own armor specific armor & cutscenes

[@csab8642]

Guess we know what a team of Elites would've consisted of if they were in the Halo 5 campaign

[@Zenlore6499]

Just a couple of cool guys hangin out with the Chief and Arbiter.

[@grantreichel6870]

Halo Infinite needs friendly Elites and I hope we get to see these two again.

[@mgpmisterk2322]

usze taham is from a merchant family, therefore i conclude that in halo infinite, if theres some kind of economy element to it, this man should sell us weapons.

[@dextergrif1052]

Yes! Imagine being able to purchase Artisan armors created for Mjolnir in the Academy.

[@xDinomanx]

I think it's awesome that these two are pretty a part of the canon now. Although they more or less were when they were introduced in Halo 3 as extra co-op characters (backstories and all), it's nice to see that they were featured as prominent characters in one of the novels since then. Here's to hoping we see some references to them in more material if not the games again.

[@IsaacAutumn]

More beloved than spartan Locke

[@jettchamberlain8876]

when i was younger i always use to think the 3rd and 4th players in halo 3 campaign co op would be marines

[@boofan4668]

That would be cool

[@that_one_helljumper]

Me too but I also at the same time thought it would be stupid cause marines are a lot weaker than spartans xd, then I got to play 4 player co-op with some of my friends one time

[@Jedi_Spartan]

Halo 3 10 Year Anniversary (playing through The Covenant)...
Halo Canon: "Smash everything... Oh s***" _runs over HiddenXperia_
HiddenXperia: "Including the main character of the Halo series."
Halo Canon: "Err, I'm still alive."
HiddenXperia: "The second main character of the Halo series."
Halo Canon: "N'tho is still alive."

[@ghidorahstan69420]

i like to call them Uzi and Nitro lol

[@Tribal_Soldier]

I remember my first playthrough in 4 player coop. Usze was my Elite I went as through the whole journey. I really hope to see them all reunite again.
Chief
Arbiter
N'tho
Usze will always be the OG's of 4 player coop.

[@abysschef5078]

These 2 are the reason why hunters in the dark was so memorable to me

[@everybodyman]

"The a e s t h e t i c guard"

[@kestrel4360]

This un named team of the chief and these 3 elites were cooler than blue team and fireteam Osiris combined.

[@that_one_helljumper]

Why halo 3 had the best co-op

[@vipshark12]

It's not that hard to pronounce their name's. But halo 3 is my first halo game. Favorite characters? My favorite scene is when arbiter kills truth.

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

And so you must be silenced.

[@senatorstevenarmstrong9821]

You mean stabs Dr. Testicles?

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

Didn't even knew these guys had lore. I thougt they were there just for gameplay.

[@ItatsuMagnatsa]

Have there been any Interspecies Relationships between Humans and Ex Covenant Members?

[@Sentient-Noodle]

I would not want to see what would be the result of they had a child

[@afroartist1086]

Thankfully no...

[@rickyrenduels5866]

Buddy, wha-?

[@nocturnalnoble1454]

@@Sentient-Noodle I mean if you look at Tuckers situation, another elite just comes out.

[@josuke8gappy]

Vale and uszhe tahamm

[@oliramen3982]

This video is so awesome after reading halo hunters in the dark. I never knew that they were actually playable

[@longjohnsugar]

Good video! I love the side characters getting their fair time in the spot light.
One thing, I think it's "ascetic" instead of "aesthetic". Not to say the armor isn't aesthetic. ;-)

[@skyraider87]

You're absolutely correct. Ascetic. Not Aesthetic.

[@elihoy5977]

I wonder how they met the arbiter.

[@themonologuer]

Most likely recommended by Rta's Vaduum

[@gearybell]

hey covenant canon can you do a species of the covenant on Sangheili

[@ravager2-636]

WOORRRTTT!!

[@thesicksteven8444]

will Usze Taham and N'tho Sroam return in Halo infinite

[@TechPriest-A]

They are the my favorites along with ratas vadam
And the imperial admiral

[@seanster02]

Hey. random question out of the blue. do you think that in Halo Infinite the player would have allies of multiple races not just human and sangheili?

[@WhyTho525]

Uncertain . But I do hope that we get the Sangheili as allies and get the Arbiter as a playable character .

[@therealestmannyt1029]

It was announced in an ask 343 that they’re no playable elites

[@TehSkeletonKing187]

I cringed through this video for the sake of lore

[@vapingfury4460]

You talk real slow
