Owen-B096

Owen-B096 is a SPARTAN-III commando known to be in service with the United Nations Space Command Armed Forces during the Human-Covenant War.

Early life
"Owen-B096"

- Saskia Nazari Owen was born on the colony world of Eremus in the Lambda Serpentis system. The Covenant began a ground invasion of the planet on February 9, 2535 and by the twelfth had begun to glass it. Owen's parents were in a town which fell victim to this orbital bombardment. By the time half the planet's surface had suffered the same treatment Owen was eventually discovered by the Office of Naval Intelligence living on his own in the countryside and eating bugs.

Owen volunteered for the SPARTAN-III program shortly after his home world was destroyed by the Covenant. An exceptional candidate, his tenacity and single-minded focus allowed him to grind his way through the punishing training and augmentation cycle to reach the top honors program. Detached from the rest of his Beta Company comrades for special assignment, he soon applied his lethal talents other war efforts.

Later career
At some point following the ultimately futile defense of Meridian, Owen participated in scorched-earth holding actions in the Sol system. The details concerning these particular actions are not slated to ever be publicized or known to the wider UNSC. After the war against the Covenant concluded Owen spent some time traveling to various major population centers on Earth alongside another Spartan-III, Hazel-A302. This was done as part of an Outpost Discovery, a mobile exploratory initiative focused on the education, recruitment, inspiration, and training of the next generation of UNSC personnel.
