Zelos Cuvier

Captain Zelos Cuvier was an ODST commissioned officer of the United Nations Space Command. He commanded First Platoon Alpha Company of the 21st Space Assault Battalion during the Insurrection and the opening months of the Human-Covenant War.

Operation: SILENT STORM
In early 2526, the 21st Space Assault Battalion—also known as the Black Daggers—were selected to join Task Force Yama as part of a daring new plan devised by Admirals Preston Cole, Michael Stanforth and Doctor Catherine Halsey to combat the emerging Covenant threat. Following the success of previous boarding actions taken against vessels Minor Transgression and Unrelenting, it was determined that similar tactics were likely to yield greater success rates against the technologically superior and much larger Covenant fleet. With the Black Daggers' experience in space assault operations during the Insurrection, they were chosen to join the task force to aid the assigned SPARTAN-IIs in boarding and planting nuclear weapons aboard Covenant warships, buying the UNSC time to prepare for future fleet actions

Battle of Seoba
In preparation for their first attack, an ice quarry on the moon of Seoba was selected as a staging ground, due to its host planet Biko laying in the projected path of the Covenant. Upon arriving in the system, Task Force Yama discovered an Insurrectionist base set up in the designated quarry. The Black Daggers and SPARTANs were authorized to engage and eliminate the insurgents to ensure Operation: SILENT STORM could go ahead as planned. During this engagement, Alpha Company was designated to take out the insurrectionist communications outpost to ensure that the rebels couldn't call for reinforcements and reveal the secret UNSC operation.
