'''Anwar Shafiq''' was a [[commissioned officer]] serving the [[UNSC Navy]] as a [[Lieutenant]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Saturn}}.

==Biography==
Shafiq originally served aboard the {{UNSCShip|Irish Goodbye}}, but would be transferred to the ''Saturn'' after he had requested it. His previous [[executive officer]] had seen Shafiq had aspired to take command of his own, and Shafiq hoped to take control of the ''Saturn'' after its current [[Captain (NAVCOM)|captain]], [[Pedro Alvarez]], was soon to retire.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Atropos|Halo: Ascension on Atropos}}

Having been transferred to the ''Saturn'' not long before it had been deployed to oversee a mining operation by [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] and the [[BXR Mining Corporation]] on [[LV-31]],{{Ref/Reuse|Atropos}} Shafiq would meet with Alvarez in the ready room, who showed him about the painting [[Wikipedia:Saturn Devouring His Son|Saturn Devouring His Son]] and gave a rehearsed speech about the painting's origins — something he would do with all new officers to the ship to gain an understanding of their tactical acumen and way of thinking. However, they would be interrupted by an alert from the bridge as the mining crew at [[Site 22]] sent out a distress call.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Saturn|Halo: Saturn Devouring His Son}}

After learning that the [[Flood]] had been unintentionally released, Alvarez would order the ship's [[Hellbringer]] compliment and [[Fireteam Leviathan]] to eliminate the Flood against the recommendation of the the Ship's [[Smart AI]], [[Lycaon]], to enact [[Emergency Contact Protocol Upsilon]]. When their containment efforts failed, with one of the [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans]] of Fireteam Levithan becoming infected, Alvarez enacted [[CORRUPTER]] and UPSILON protocols, using the ''Saturn''{{'}}s arsenal of [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva-class]] [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear missles]].{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}}

The next day, October 5, Shafiq would deliver a statistical analysis of what happened at Site 22 to Alvarez, which included their lost forces. Shafiq would also tell him about the assets that had been deployed Site 22, what had returned to the ''Saturn'' and what had not, where he revealed that one of the ''Saturn''{{'}}s [[Slipspace]]-capable [[Condor]]s had been unaccounted for. After which, Alvarez ordered Shafiq to send all footage of the incident to him to personally review, and told him that no one else on the ship must know about the Condor until he knew for certain.{{Ref/Reuse|Atropos}}

After four days of silence, Alvarez would instruct Shafiq to gather 193 of the ship's remaining crew, including Marines, security personnel and some officers, in the hanger bay for a special address. In the address, after briefly taking a moment to honor those lost in the outbreak, he would tell the assembled crew that he had received orders from [[UNSC Fleet Command|FLEETCOMM]], and that they were to leave the [[Marcey system]] with all non-essential staff to be put into cryosleep. As the crew began questioning Alvarez's story, Shafiq studied the assignments and logistics on his [[TACPAD]], finding that all senior officers were to be put in cryo and three of the maintenance crew included three of the members of Fireteam Leviathan that had been killed at Site 22. Alvarez dismissed it a simple glitch and asked Shafiq to report to the ready room to continue their conversation on Saturn Devouring His Son. Feeling everyone in the hanger looking at him, Shafiq firmly refused.{{Ref/Reuse|Atropos}}
