He had deciphered the language and social structure of a long lost tribe found in an elaborate cave dwelling under the tundra of North America and traced their origin to a charismatic cult from the 1970s. Brien was recruited by the Office of Naval Intelligence right after the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. As an ONI intelligence officer he played an integral part in unraveling the methodology behind the Covenant by brilliantly decoding the sign of language of a captured Covenant [[Huragok|Engineer]]. | ||
His interest in the Jiralhanae was sparked by an incident in which he and a team of Marines had successfully subdued a Jiralhanae-led siege of their ship which had infiltrated Covenant space. The six Jiralhanae were tranquilized, but the drugs wore off more quickly than expected, and the six Brutes Jiralhanae and broke through their restraints. The Marines killed the leader, inciting a primal rage in four of the remaining Jiralhanae, who then killed the Marines. From his hiding place, Brien witnessed the four Jiralhanae then murder the sixth, which had not participated in the melee. Brien found himself fascinated by their ferocity and strange social structure, and from then on devoted himself to studying the species. | His interest in the Jiralhanae was sparked by an incident in which he and a team of Marines had successfully subdued a Jiralhanae-led siege of their ship which had infiltrated Covenant space.

Brien ventured multiple times into Covenant space in order to learn more about the Jiralhanae society. At some point, he even managed to explore the Covenant holy city ''[[High Charity]]'' to a limited degree, likely the first human to set foot there. | Brien ventured multiple times into Covenant space in order to learn more about the Jiralhanae society. At some point, he even managed to explore the Covenant holy city ''[[High Charity]]'' to a limited degree, likely the first human to set foot there.{{Ref/Note|Brien's visit to ''High Charity'' prior to the events on Beta Gabriel is extremely problematic. Brien was deployed to Beta Gabriel shortly following the [[Fall of Reach]] in August [[2552]]. However, evidence suggests that the UNSC had no knowledge of ''High Charity'' at this time. On November 2, 2552, [[Cortana]] referred to the space station as "'''something called''' ''High Charity''", indicating that she is entirely unfamiliar with it or its role as the Covenant capital. Cortana's previous mission was to be [[Operation: RED FLAG]], an [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Three|ONI Section III]]-initiated operation to locate and capture the Covenant's leadership. It is extremely unlikely that ONI would have chosen to withhold its knowledge of ''High Charity'' from her, given the supreme importance of RED FLAG.}} | ||
