Biography

In 2550, during the Battle of Ballast, Darren and his unit were sent by a captain on a suicide mission against the Covenant. Rather than sending in a rescue, the captain abandoned Darren and his unit to die and covered it all up. However, the mission was a poor decision on the captain's part in the first place, so when everything went wrong, the captain doomed Darren and his unit in order to preserve his own reputation.

In late 2552, Gabriel finally learned the truth about his son's death and wanted revenge, but the captain was an integral part of Operation: RED FLAG, so Gabriel left him alone as what the man was doing was potentially important. After the Fall of Reach, seeing no reason to hold back anymore, a seething Gabriel confronted the man who still wouldn't admit any fault, dismissing the deaths of Darren and his unit as the casualties of war and claiming that Gabriel couldn't appreciate the decisions he had to make. The argument got more and more heated until Gabriel stabbed the captain in the throat, killing him and avenging his son. Gabriel was imprisoned for the murder, but had no regrets.
