Huki 'Umamee was a Special Operations Sangheili Commando. He wore standard-issue black armor and was stationed on Installation 04 with the Fleet of Particular Justice. He was one of thirty Sangheili who hijacked the UNSC D77-TC Pelican Dropship Charlie 217 and used it to attack the human stronghold designated Alpha base. During the attack, however, he was killed by the defending ODSTs and marines. His identity was later assumed by the Commander of the mission, Zuka 'Zamamee, because a San'Shyuum had threatened to kill 'Zamamee if his attack had failed.
