R. Abiad

R. Abiad (service number 21590-26374-RA) was a member of the UNSC Navy and a crew member on the. He was part of the command crew on the bridge and was present for the Battle of Installation 04 in September 2552.

Operation Red Flag
During the Fall of Reach the crew of the Pillar of Autumn was kept ignorant of the ensuing battle as so not to compromise their willingness to carry out Operation: RED FLAG. Despite this, Abiad saw an explosion over Eposz, which he thought might be a fireworks display. He made a mental note to ask Candace (presumably his spouse) about it when he returned to his condo in New Alexandria.

Installation 04
During the boarding of the Autumn, Abiad escaped on Kilo Tango Victor 17 with the rest of the command crew: William Lovell, Aki Hikowa, Singh, Wang, and Ellen Dowski, as well as their Commanding Officer, Captain Jacob Keyes. Also accompanying them were a handful of marines led by Corporal Wilkins.

The group was pursued by the Covenant, whom they managed to evade for a long period of time. Ellen Dowski quickly grew tired of this and suggested that the group should surrender. Certain members of the party became fed up with her rants and tied her up, leaving her for the Covenant. Covenant forces eventually found and captured Dowski, who informed them of the group's location.

Death
After Dowski told the Covenant where the group was going, the Covenant were able to quickly surround the group and force them to surrender. This led to the execution of everyone in the group, including Dowski, save for Keyes. Abiad was shot in the face by an Elite Minor carrying a Plasma Pistol.
