Veta Lopis

Veta Lopis is an Office of Naval Intelligence agent who formerly served as a special inspector of the Ministry of Protection on planet Gao.

Biography
Like most Gao natives, Veta Lopis had been brought up to despise and distrust the United Nations Space Command and the Spartan supersoldiers from an early age. In July 2553, Lopis was assigned to conduct an investigation of brutally murdered Gao residents in the Montero Cave System. During her search to catch the serial killer, a culprit possibly hidden among the Spartans, Lopis became mired in a tremendous crisis on the planet.

Over the course of the mission, she worked closely with the Spartans and despite her initial contempt for the supersoldiers, she grew to trust them and ended up siding with the UNSC after now-president Arlo Casille, former Minister of Protection, deployed Gao's military against them. After the Spartans escaped the planet, Lopis was given the offer by Rear Admiral Serin Osman to join the Office of Naval Intelligence and put her experience to use as the head of a top-secret investigations and black operations team comprised of the three Gamma Company Spartan-IIIs Ash-G099, Olivia-G291, and Mark-G313. Realizing she could not return to Gao and seeing the opportunity in applying her skills on a much larger scale than before, Lopis accepted Osman's offer.

Personality and traits
Lopis is hardened and cynical but dedicated to her job as a homicide detective. During her GMoP career, she preferred to take down her suspects rather than bring them to trial. She is observant and intelligent, and in the beginning stages of her investigation of the Montero Cave System murders she managed to trick Fred-104 into indirectly divulging classified information several times.
