About
Unbeknownst to the officials on the planet, Jilan al-Cygni is an ONI operative sent on Harvest to overlook operations. She was sent to Harvest to investigate Insurrectionist attacks against UNSC freight shipments. She commanded Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, and was one of the first Humans to meet the Brutes. During the defense of Harvest, she served valiantly, and led an assault on the Tiara and evacuated the planet before it was glassed. Prior to her escape, she was resisted by the governor of Harvest, Nils Thune. She, aided by Johnson and Byrne, removed him from office forcibly and took command of the operations on Harvest.

After succesfully escaping, Jilan and Johnson found themselves together and alone. They proceeded to have relations, a small attempt to return to normalcy in what they both knew would be a long and harrowing battle against their newfound enemy. Jilan's fate after her escape is currently unknown.
