Benti was born on Earth in a cushy suburban household. This kept her fairly isolated from the [[Human-Covenant War|war]] until her enlistment into the UNSC Navy as a Hospital Corpsman in [[2547]], though she had close contact with the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] over time.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 228''</ref>

On [[2552#October|October 25, 2552]],{{Ref/Reuse|Catalog}} Benti was assigned to [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez]]'s Marine detachment when they boarded the [[prison ship]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', unbeknownst to the fact it had been a converted into a laboratory the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] used to experiment on the [[The Flood|Flood]] parasite.
In [[2552#October|October 2552]], she was part of [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez]]'s Marine detachment when they boarded the [[prison ship]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', unbeknownst to the fact it had been a converted into a laboratory the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] used to experiment on the [[The Flood|Flood]] parasite.


As the Marines [[Naval boarding|boarded]] the drifting ''Mona Lisa'', they were attacked by a group of unarmed and unarmored [[Sangheili]], which they dispatched with ease. The Marines soon received new orders to enact the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]], and split up into two parties. Sergeant Lopez assigned Benti to lead the group sent to purge the ship's secondary NAV database in the engine room, with her team consisting of [[Clarence]], [[Gersten]], [[Orlav]] and [[Tsardikos]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 261''</ref>

On their way to the engineering, they were engaged by the Flood in the ship's recycling plant, losing Tsardikos, Orlav and Gersten. After escaping the Flood into a maintenance room, they encountered a neurotic prisoner called [[Patrick Rimmer]], accompanied by his companion, a Sangheili he had dubbed "[[Henry]]".<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 288-291''</ref> As they made their way toward the engine room, Rimmer explained them what the Flood were and what had happened on the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 307-309''</ref>

In the engine room, they witnessed how their pilot [[Burgundy]] was dragged into the [[proto-Gravemind]] the Flood were forming around the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 321-322''</ref> Upon hearing Lopez's conversation with the ''Red Horse'' crew over the ship's PA system, Benti destroyed the proto-Gravemind with a pair of [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenade|fragmentation grenades]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 328-330''</ref> They then proceeded to regroup with the survivors of Lopez's party near the ship's last remaining escape pods.

On the way to the escape pods, Benti was wounded by a [[Flood combat form]] she recognized as [[Sydney (Marine)|Sydney]], and soon began showing symptoms of infection. However, she was picked up by Henry, who had already saved her life twice.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 334-335''</ref> Once at the airlock, Clarence shot Rimmer, revealing himself to be an ONI operative whose mission was to ensure that no one but the Marines left the ship. During the ensuing standoff, Benti sacrificed her life to save Lopez and "Henry" by pushing herself against Clarence, pinning him down, as they were overtaken by the oncoming Flood horde. As the Flood infection killed her, she tried to hold onto the image of Sergeant Lopez waving goodbye.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 337-340''</ref>

*Judging by her name, she may be of partially-Vietnamese descent.
*Judging by her name, she may be of partially Vietnamese descent.
*Though established to be a Naval corpsman, she is addressed as a "[[private]]" several times in ''The Mona Lisa''. This was likely an error on the author's part, but it may have been intentional to exemplify that Benti was as much of a member of the Squad as the others were.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 242, 261, 337''</ref>
