Serin Osman

Captain Serin Osman, formerly SPARTAN-019, also known as Oz, is a human senior officer of the UNSC Navy and a field agent in the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Early life
Born in 2511, Serin was abducted in 2517 as a SPARTAN-II candidate now known as Serin-019, and trained under Chief Mendez along with the rest of the Spartan-II candidates.

Spartan II-Program and ONI career
Osman failed the augmentation process, recieving the genetic and biochemical enhancements, before her body started to reject the rest. While she failed the augmentation process, she still possesses a few of the enhancements, although nothing skeletal. At 14 years old, ONI took custody of her, educated her, and put her into the ONI commanders' program. They also repaired the damage done by the failed augmentation process.

Considered as a protégé to Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the Director of Naval Intelligence, she has groomed the former Spartan for a potential future as her successor. Osman considered herself the only person who the Admiral would always forgive even if she failed. In order to hide her status as a former Spartan, she would adopt the surname "Osman". Though people often assumed she was of Turkish descent based on her name and appearance, she did not actually know whether this was the case; though the information on her pre-Spartan identity was readily available to her, she would never look at the files.

Post-War
By 2553 Serin held the rank of Captain. She was hand picked by Parangosky to lead up a black operations team known as Kilo-Five, which was composed of smart AI Black Box; a civilian professor and Sangheili expert Evan Phillips; ODSTs Staff Sergeant "Mal" Geffen, Sergeant Lian Devereaux, Coporal "Val" Beloi; and SPARTAN-II Naomi-010 on several missions aiding the Servants of Abiding Truth and continuing the insurrection against Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, and even taking Doctor Halsey into custody for "committing acts likely to aid the enemy" and meeting with Fred-104, Kelly-087 and Linda-058 and the Spartan-III's Tom-B292, Lucy-B091, Ash-G099, Mark, Olivia and Chief Mendez in ONI Research Facility Trevelyan.
