Biography
Prior to her transferring into Spartan branch, Ray served for four years as a signals intelligence (SIGINT) specialist.

Ealen IV
In March 2558, Ray and the rest of Fireteam Jackknife, along with Fireteam Bailey and Paul DeMarco of Fireteam Majestic, were assigned to escort and provide security for Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood and Kaidon Thel 'Vadam on a diplomatic mission to Ealen IV. While Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the Jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus, a Covenant splinter group attacked the delegates. Commander Sarah Palmer ordered the Spartan-IV's to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. When their evacuation ship was destroyed, they proceeded to escort the delegates to a nearby parts depot. Once everyone was inside, DeMarco sealed the depot to halt the oncoming Covenant forces. With communications to their ships having been blocked, they were left without any reinforcements.

Inside the plasma facility, Captain Lasky was determined to reestablishing communications with the fleet orbiting Ealen IV, while ordering Palmer and the protection detail to escort the delegation to a fortified redoubt. Palmer tasked Ray to escort Infinity's captain and utilize her SIGINT background. As they searched the facility, hoping to find the old Covenant network and utilize the facility's transponders to triangulate the source of a jammer, Lasky and Ray were attacked by a Sangheili Warrior. Upon eliminating the elite, Ray then discovered that the Covenant network itself was responsible for the jamming and knew she could track the source of its power. After securing a pair of Banshees, they observed the Covenant take off towards the redoubt.

Equipment
Ray wears the Infiltrator variant of the MJOLNIR GEN2 armor.
