==Biography==
An officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Vartan Gysirian served with the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and was attached to the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]]. During the [[battalion]]'s operations to search for [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]] on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] in [[2553]], Gysirian served as the aide-de-camp to [[Commander]] [[Murtag Nelson]], the battalion's commander. Gysirian and Nelson were both stationed in the [[Montero Vitality Center]].{{Ref/Reuse|ll161}}

On [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], after the battalion's forces at the village of [[Wendosa]] came under attack by the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], Gysirian attempted to inform Nelson of the attack. However, Nelson was distracted with his discovery that Gao's [[Well of Echoes]] served as a cooling array for the planet's [[Covert Support Base 4276|subterranean Forerunner structure]]. When Nelson decided he would recall the battalion's [[Blue Team|Spartan]] attachment, Gysirian was finally able to inform the commander of the attack on Wendosa. Nelson had a [[Pelican]] [[dropship]] and two [[UH-144 Falcon]]s deployed from the Vitality Center to aid in the [[UNSC]]'s defense, the Pelican and one of the Falcons were destroyed by forces of the Keepers while the second Falcon barely escaped. When a [[sniper]] moved to assassinate Nelson, Gysirian spotted the attacker and pushed Nelson to the ground, but Gysirian was killed by the bullet.{{Ref/Reuse|ll165}}
