Soldier of the 42nd Squadron
- Most of the members were killed in a fight near the beginning of the war, including the Sargent in command. The rest were able to survive when Dhaam took the lead.
- After his success in multiple battles and small missions, Dhaam was promoted to lead a troop. This group would go on to hold many key points in missions and battles.
- During a battle that wiped out the entirety of the upper command, he was forced to take the reigns of the 6th division which had become the sole stand between the Frontier and the might of Erebos' army. He eventually led them to victory and prevented the loss of the region.
- Soon after Dhaam's "promotion" to Commander, his intelligence and strategic mind were recognized by Karenwatti. He decided to form the Special Corps and put Dhaam at its head, using the Corps for behind-the-scenes operations and secret missions.
- After the war ended, Dhaam was approached by the Keeper of Tayanan who asked him to take the place of Vah'Vahnet's old Keeper.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Victory on the Frontier (11e32.102)
The bloodiest battle of war that led to the complete annihilation of the 4th, 5th, and 8th Divisions, and massive casualties for the 6th, and 7th. All of upper command was killed, including the two Generals who were present. As one of the only surviving leaders, Dhaam rallied what was left of the 6th before reestablishing contact with the 7th. He was able to hold the line and forced the remains of the opposing side to retreat. Sabotaging the Temple
One of the most important missions the Special Corps was ever sent on. They went deep into enemy infested territory to the breakout's ground zero: the Temple outside Shawntique, where Erebos had opened the rift and released waves upon waves of demons. Utilizing the cover of a massive blizzard, the team snuck into the chamber, dispatched the guards, and managed to destroy the pillars stabilizing the rift. They then successfully escaped with zero casualties. Although this didn't cause the rift to collapse as they had hoped, it was destabilized enough to slow the incoming demons. This prevented the rift from remaining open once Erebos was killed.

Failures & Embarrassments
Throughout his lifelong military career, Dhaam's single greatest failure came just before the end of the war. During a mission to assassinate an ethiean who had joined Erebos's side, Tehg was taken captive. During the ensuing rescue attempt, all but two members of the Corps were killed in a trap set by Scaith, a deranged quilan and Erebo's second in command.
Though Dhaam managed to kill Scaith and rescue Tehg, it came at a great cost. The responsibility of his teammate's deaths hang over him to this day despite the surviving members adamantly reminding him they willingly chose to follow him and save Tehg.

Social Aptitude
Possesses a brisk "no nonsense" attitude and a high level of manners and respectfulness when speaking to those higher than him. However, he drops the air of formality when speaking to friends and acquaintances he views as is equal. He is generally down to earth, yet polite, to those of lower rank. Dhaam has a habit of talking down to those he sees as 'sub-par' or, as he describes, 'deliberately incompetent'.
Relationships
History
Though they're both from Scaevas, they didn't meet until the day their village was destroyed. They hid together just outside the town under a fallen tree surrounded by dense underbrush, watching as the place they called home was burned to the ground. They stayed there, hunkered down for days, as they waited for the demons to move on before heading north together.

History
Only having met breifly in passing, their relationship has had a rocky start. Mostly in part because of Dhaam's overprotective nature of Tehg, and also because he views him as inexperienced and a burden.
