Rear Admiral Audrey Lasky is a senior officer of the United Nations Space Command armed forces serving during the Insurrection and later the Human-Covenant War. She is the mother of Thomas Lasky, the executive officer, later captain of UNSC Infinity and his deceased older brother Cadmon Lasky.

At some point during the Insurrection, then-First Lieutenant Lasky commanded a squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers—one of which was K. L. Mehaffey. Known for her encyclopedic intellect, Lasky ascended the ranks alongside Mehaffey. She maintained a strictly businesslike demeanor and was rarely around during the war; she remained distant to Thomas as a result. Even in her video messages to her son, she addressed him in a largely formal tone. She placed a great deal of importance on Thomas' education at Corbulo Academy of Military Science and the military career she had planned for him, even deciding that he should not leave the school to attend the funeral services of his brother after Cadmon was killed, as there were no remains to bury.

A former ODST, Audrey fought her way through the Insurrection and the Covenant War. At some point, Audrey left the Marines and joined the Navy, rising to the rank of Rear Admiral.

In late 2559, now pushing ninety years old, Audrey was leading the effort to deglass Circinius IV and rebuild Corbulo. Audrey would often play chess with Thomas over transmissions. During these games, Audrey would drop her more formal demeanor. On December 1, Audrey sadly talked about how she had found Mehaffey's office and nearly walked off of the job before remembering that she had come back to Circinius IV for her old friend's sake. Audrey hinted at something coming, although she wouldn't go into details. After putting her son in check in a position where he was outnumbered and surrounded, Audrey ended the game for the day, telling Thomas that he was going to need a long time to figure his way out of this one and when he did, Thomas was going to tell her all about it. Thomas realized that she was talking not just about the game, but the hard situation that he was facing.

Production notes

• She is portrayed by Canadian actress Jill Teed.
• Strangely, Lasky's uniform bears the Corbulo Academy insignia. While this is most likely an oversight, it is possible that she was somehow affiliated with the school although she was not present in the academy itself.
