- "The state of this universe can shift at any moment. That's why we're needed: to endure. To ensure stability. To inspire hope."
- — Laurette Agryna[3]
Spartan Commander Laurette Agryna is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier, notable for having served as the commanding officer for the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science on the hidden outpost world of Nysa. As Spartan Commander for the academy. she oversaw the facility's day-to-day operations alongside the tasking and training of its Spartan personnel.[4] In March 2560, the academy was attacked and occupied by the Banished, resulting in Agryna's exile to Anvil Station alongside the other survivors of the attack.[5][6]
Agryna was born the daughter of an Spartan-I supersoldier Holden Agryna,[7] though there is no indication she is one of the "Spartan 1.1s", who were seemingly-given biological augmentation as children.
Biography[edit]
Early life and career[edit]
As a young adult, Agryna lived with her father in London, Britain on Earth. Around this time she assisted in running an off-grid courier company named the Beekeepers.[7] During the Battle for Earth in 2552, she found herself facing down Jiralhanae forces of the Covenant in London.[5][8] Ultimately, she was saved by the timely arrival of Spartans of the "Deltas"; Evelyn Rousseau, Dorian Nguyen, Victor Gallardo and Saskia Nazari. Sergeant Major Nolan Byrne, a former comrade of Holden's from the ORION Project, invited Agryna to join them in the Oort cloud as a part of Project OUROBOROS which she accepted.[9]
This experience ultimately inspired Agryna to join up in the United Nations Space Command, where she displayed qualities of leadership and a willingness and capability to improve the quality of the soldiers under her—ultimately going on to join the SPARTAN-IV program,[10] becoming a supersoldier herself.[3] She was in the same basic training class as fellow Spartan Hieu Dinh,[5] resulting in a close working relationship between the two.[11]
Spartan Commander[edit]
Following the destruction of Laconia Station during the Created conflict,[3] Commander Agryna took on the role as the acting commander at the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science on Nysa,[10] and was charged with training and mentoring Spartan-IV recruits at academy.[2] She held this role by November 19, 2559, alongside the responsibility of overseeing the allocation of Spartan security assets to Nysa's various outlying sites.[4]
On November 19, Agryna was present during a visit to the world by UNSC Victory of Samothrace, following the superheavy cruiser's successful extraction of several VIPs from Rossbach's World. The meeting was a joint one conducted with the Swords of Sanghelios, with their assault carrier Shadow of Intent also present. When initially requested by Samothrace's Captain Abigail Cole to meet the Swords of Sanghelios party with a Spartan escort, Agryna ensured that she would see to it personally alongside Admiral Jilan al-Cygni - expressing her tense relationship with, and distrust of the Sangheili. Agryna was present throughout the following meeting, discussing the Order of Restoration and Dovo Nesto, the Created, and she was present for the extraction of critical intelligence from Black-Box (one of the AIs recovered from Rossbach's World) which would ultimately put the UNSC on the path of kidnapping Chloe Hall from Mindoro.[4]
On December 20, 2559,[12] Agryna was involved in overseeing the arrival and training of a new, fresh batch of Spartan recruits - one of which being "Rook". While on the Pelican to the academy, Agryna got word of the destruction of UNSC Infinity at Installation 07 and the ringworld's sudden disappearance a week earlier. Despite this news, she was seemingly unfazed and instead set to work on tasking the new Spartan recruits with their initial training, before ordering them to the base's AI laboratory to recieve a personal AI, BUTLR. However, due to the news about Infinity's disappearance, Agryna did leave the recruits to conduct their training on their own, as she needed to follow up on the news herself.[3]
