==Biography==
===Early life and career===
Elena Bobrov was born on [[Alluvion]] on [[2522#June|June 19, 2522]].{{Ref/Reuse|S5Intel}} She enlisted into [[UNSC Army]] as soon as she was of-age in [[2540]], and first encountered the [[Covenant]] in [[2542]], during the [[Battle for Alluvion]] when the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] [[glassing|glassed]] major population centers on her homeworld.{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}} During the [[Fall of Reach|Covenant invasion]] on [[Reach]], Bobrov fought during [[Siege of New Alexandria|the siege]] of [[New Alexandria]],{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}} notably assisting [[Gauntlet Team]] in civilian evacuation operations.{{Ref/Reuse|S5Intel}} 

Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Bobrov retired in [[2553]], but returned—presumably enlisting in the UNSC Marine Corps—to serve aboard the UNSC ''Infinity''.{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}}

===Post-Covenant War conflicts===
In [[2557|July 2557]], [[Staff Sergeant]] Bobrov was aboard the ''Infinity'' when the ship was [[Battle of Requiem|caught]] by the [[gravity well]] of the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]]. During Operation: WHIRLRPOOL, she was assigned to [[Gypsy Company]] to destroy the [[particle cannon]]s that defended the gravity well generator. The company was sent to the location of the particle cannons, along with an [[M510 Mammoth]]. Bobrov was in charge of driving and controlling the Mammoth during the engagement.{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}}{{Ref/Reuse|reclaimer}} Surviving the battle, Elena Bobrov would return to Earth with the ''Infinity''.{{Ref/Reuse|tor}}{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}}

She was promoted to Gunnery Sergeant,{{Ref/Reuse|cfcf}} then served a [[Requiem Campaign|second tour to Requiem]] in [[2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|tor}} Bobrov was also present on [[Operation: WOLFE]] in [[2559]], being deployed on Reach by the ''Infinity'' to support Spartan fireteams engaging [[Banished]] forces on the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|S5Intel}}

===Battle for Zeta Halo===
{{Main|Battle for Zeta Halo}}
On [[2559#December|December 12, 2559]], Bobrov was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Game|Id=ia4|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #04 - Arrival}} As the ''Infinity'' fell to the Banished assault, Bobrov was evacuated from the ship. She eventually rendezvoused with other UNSC forces at the wreckage of {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, which had been found by Spartan [[Vedrana Makovich]] and designated as a UNSC base of operations.{{Ref/Game|Id=hafh|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #01 - Home Away From Home}} She participated in the defense of ''Reverie'' when the Banished launched [[Battle of the Mortal Reverie|an assault]] on the wreckage on [[2560#January|January 31, 2560]].{{Ref/Reuse|tor}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp16|RP|Chapter=16}} During the assault, her squad was attacked by a group of [[Jiralhanae Berserker]]s; although Bobrov survived, she was captured by the Banished. She was dragged to a [[Qavardu Workshop war-skiff]] that transported her to the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]]. Bobrov, along with [[Spartan-IV]] [[Terry Hedge]], [[Lance Corporal]] [[Singh (Installation 07)|Singh]], and a [[Sangheili]] they nicknamed "[[Doc]]," were forced to participate in the Trials of Atriox, a ritual devised by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] in which UNSC survivors were to defend a large room from multiple waves of Banished troops. If they survived, they would be fed food and water, only to go through the trial again on the next day.{{Ref/Reuse|tor}} Despite her efforts, Bobrov was ultimately killed by the Banished.{{Ref/Reuse|farewell}} The UNSC listed her as [[Missing in action]] after the battle on the ''Mortal Reverie''.{{Ref/Reuse|S5Intel}}

==Production notes==
While unconfirmed, there is a distinct possibility that Elena Bobrov first appeared in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Bobrov is confirmed to have participated in the Fall of Reach—including the Siege of New Alexandria—while serving in the UNSC Army. Throughout the campaign of ''Halo: Reach'' (including the missions set in New Alexandria), the player can encounter [[:File:Reach Army Soldier1.jpg|a UNSC Army trooper]] bearing resemblance to Elena Bobrov's depiction. [[343 Industries]] employee and community writer [[Alex Wakeford]], the creator of Elena Bobrov's backstory, confirmed that Bobrov and the Army trooper from ''Halo: Reach'' have a "striking resemblance."{{Ref/Twitter|Id=HaruspisTweet|haruspis|1752872718616174770|Alex Wakeford|Quote=I can certainly confirm that they bear quite a striking resemblance!|D=2|M=2|Y=2024}}
