Biography[edit]

Battle of Ballast[edit]

In 2550, during the Battle of Ballast, Darren and his unit were sent by the 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.[1]

Operation: RED FLAG[edit]

In late 2552, the captain was to be an integral part of Operation: RED FLAG. Darren's father Gabriel, a private contractor for the Office of Naval Intelligence's Watershed Division, finally learned the truth about his son's death and wanted revenge. However, Gabriel left the captain alone due to his role in Operation: RED FLAG as what the man was doing was potentially important.[1]

Death[edit]

After the Fall of Reach, seeing no reason to hold back anymore, a seething Gabriel confronted the captain responsible for Darren's death. The man 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.[1]
