History

Posing as an official from the Department of Commercial Shipping, Jilan al-Cygni was an undercover ONI officer whom arrived at Harvest to investigate the disappearance of various and diverse DCS freighters in the Harvest space locale, assumed to be lost at the hands of Insurrectionists but truthfully exterminated directly by Jackal pirates.

Jilan al-Cygni thought of a plan to trick the Insurrectionists with a decoy Freighter that both Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne were secretly aboard. The plan was successful, however all three were quickly surprised to find the real cause of the disappearances, Jackal pirates. She authorized Johnson and Byrne to eliminate them before destroying the alien vessel with an Archer Missile from her sloop. Later, after making contact with the Brute investigation team arriving with a formerly decommissioned Cruiser, she was one of the first humans to meet an official Covenant delegation. The negotiations soured, however, and the group was forced to escape. She removed a visibly upset Governor Nils Thune from office by paralyzing him with Tactical Training Rounds, and assumed command of the UNSC presence on Harvest, consisting of a mere three Marines and a platoon of Colonial Militiamen.

After successfully escaping, Jilan becomes intimate with Avery Johnson. It is unknown what happened to her after the Battle of Harvest and whether her relationship with Johnson enhanced in any way in the coming years.
