Biography
Post-War
Following the end of the Human-Covenant War in January 2553, he and fellow ODST Vasily Beloi were hand-picked by the Office of Naval Intelligence Commander-in-Chief Admiral Parangosky to serve under Captain Serin Osman in a covert operations team designated Kilo-Five. The team was tasked with sowing discord amongst the now-disorganized Sangheili by a number of means, including providing arms to the Servants of Abiding Truth, a faction opposed to the allies of Thel 'Vadam.
As part of Kilo-Five, Geffen served aboard UNSC Port Stanley, participating in several missions. These included the extraction of the ONI agent Mike Spenser from Reynes, where Geffen and Beloi were involved in a brief firefight with several Kig-Yar who were attempting to claim the team's dropship for themselves. At one point, Kilo-Five seized the Covenant cargo ship Piety and successfully captured a Huragok, Requires Adjustment. Geffen and Beloi were also present during several arms transactions between Kilo-Five and the Servants of Abiding Truth.
After ONI had established communications with the human survivors inside the Sharpened Shield, Admiral Parangosky ordered Kilo-Five to arrest Dr. Catherine Halsey. Geffen accompanied the party that entered the shield world via dropship, detained Halsey and brought her, along with the other survivors, aboard Port Stanley.
