Ord Casto was born on ''[[High Charity]]'' on [[2396|March 15, 2396]].{{Ref/Reuse|essential}} He began his political career as a [[junior staffer]] serving in the [[Ministry of Concert]]. During his time in the Ministry, a complaint was received from an [[Unggoy]] distillers' union that claimed faulty atmospheric controls on [[Kig-Yar]] naval vessels were tainting the Unggoy's batches of [[infusion]]—recreational narcotics often enjoyed by Unggoy. Ord Casto was tasked with the dispute due to its seemingly trivial nature. However, he unearthed a conspiracy by several radical Kig-Yar [[shipmaster]]s to poison infusion resources. The Kig-Yar planned to render the Unggoy infertile, as petty revenge for the displacement of Kig-Yar nests which had led to an increase in Kig-Yar infant mortality—caused by a recent boom in Unggoy population. Although Casto recommended stiff penalties, the [[Minister of Concert]] decided to simply fine the Kig-Yar involved. Casto lodged a formal complaint, but was rebuffed by his superiors who did not wish to anger the Kig-Yar. However, the "Infusion Incident" quickly escalated into a bloody civil war known as the [[Unggoy Rebellion]] in [[2462]], bringing about the [[Ages of Conflict|39th Age of Conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} After the Unggoy were pacified and brought back into the Covenant, the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]] began, and Casto was promoted to Minister of [[Ministry of Fortitude|Fortitude]] shortly after.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 156''</ref> | Ord Casto was born on ''[[High Charity]]'' on [[2396|March 15, 2396]].{{Ref/Reuse|essential}} He began his political career as a [[junior staffer]] serving in the [[Ministry of Concert]].
