'''Lieutenant Jordan Gaines''' ([[service number]]: '''73968-00463-JG'''){{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} was an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operative.{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointGaines}}

Jordan Gaines was born on [[Arcadia]] in [[2533]]. After the Covenant [[Battle of Arcadia|attack]] the planet in [[2531]], her family refused to evacuate the colony, and contributed to the rebuilding efforts of [[Arcadia City (location)|Arcadia City]]. They would eventually become deeply involved in the colonial government. As a child, Gaines was friends with future [[SPARTAN-IV]] [[Tedra Grant]].{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointGaines}}

In mid-[[2549]], Gaines and her father evacuated Arcadia, but her mother and extended family remained trapped on the planet when a Covenant fleet [[Glassing|glassed]] [[Fall of Arcadia|the planet]]. The pair would soon relocate to a [[Mars]] refugee area where her father quickly took up a leadership position. Gaines enlisted in the [[UNSC Air Force]] in early [[2552]], where she was assigned to security forces at [[Syrtis Major aerospace port]]. In November 2552, her father was killed on Mars as the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] bombarded the [[Sol system]]'s colonies. Her extensive experience with colonial administration and politics alerted the attention of ONI Section One recruiters and she was transferred to ONI in [[2554]].{{Ref/Reuse|WaypointGaines}}

On [[2556|February 7th, 2556]], Gaines was present on the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]] alongside [[Lieutenant Commander Jameson Locke]] and [[Locke's team|his unit]] during an ONI operation to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity on the colony. While [[Locke|Agent Locke]] and his field team attempted to seize the terrorists in the outskirts of [[City of Sedra|Sedra's capital]], Gaines and [[Mason Hundley]] monitored the situation in the city. After a [[Sangheili Zealot]] terrorist activated a new [[bioweapon]] Gaines and Hundley were both subjected to its effects alongside many Sedran civilians. Locke and the other members of the team took them to a [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] hospital where they were soon allowed treatment despite [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Aiken]]'s initial reluctance.<ref name="nf1">'''Halo: Nightfall''' - ''Chapter 1''</ref> However, she ultimately died of the bioweapon's effects.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}
