Ellen Anders was born on the colony of [[Arcadia]]. She apparently studied under [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] (though their relationship was tense) with neither holding the other in a fond regard.<ref name="manual"/> At some point prior to [[2531]] she became engaged to an unknown person. In [[2531]], she was lecturing on [[Xenobiology|Theoretical Xenobiology]] at [[Rishard University]]. When stopped on the street by a nondescript stranger, she was told that Dr. Halsey had recommended her as a "consultant". Anders told the man that there was some mistake, as she was not on speaking terms with "that woman". Despite her refusal, a car pulled up and the man dragged her in before speeding off. The man and his accomplices - ONI agents - brought her to an undisclosed location. Anders was furious and demanded to know why she was kidnapped. They showed her classified images of the [[Covenant]] on [[Harvest]] and snippets of intercepted communications, which referred to the planet as a "[[Reliquary|Treasure World]]". This piqued Anders' interest, and she agreed to assist ONI in deciphering the Covenant's motives and nature. She was given "unrestricted" (presumably broad, but limited to her field of study) access to ONI equipment and resources. She then traveled to the [[Epsilon Indi system]] aboard an ONI [[Prowler|vessel]] {{UNSCShip|Last Gleaming}}, where she reviewed the data on the Covenant. While on board, she determined that, while the Covenant was looking for something, they were also trying to hide something as well. Later, she was relocated to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>

Before arriving on the Sprit of Fire, she put in a request for better quarters once aboard and an audience with the captain.

Anders devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] to cause the [[Astroengineering#Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], thus destroying the ships (and any other Forerunner technology) before the Covenant could make use of them. Forge and [[Red Team]] encountered complications, in the form of Sangheili intervention, and Forge stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. After narrowly escaping the exploding Shield World, the ''Spirit of Fire'' set a course for the nearest UNSC forces under conventional power. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she got them all out of there alive. As the pod closed, Anders reminded the Captain that not all of them had survived.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref>

On January 1, [[2537]], six years after the events on the Etran Harborage, [[Violeta Maldini|one of the ship's technicians]], who had been awakened by Serina in order to conduct routine maintenance aboard the ship, was attacked and infected by a Flood infection form, which had been nesting out of sight aboard the ship since the escape from the shield world. In response, Serina imposed quarantine on the ship's cryo bays, inadvertently allowing the Flood to mature further and breed new infection forms that proceeded to attack other crewmen still in cryo-sleep. As the Flood threatened to breach quarantine, Serina awoke Anders and [[Jerome-092]], who, with her aid, was forced to exterminate all infected crew members, ensuring the survival of the ''Spirit'' and its remaining crew. After all traces of the Flood parasite aboard the ''Spirit of Fire'' were erased, Anders returned to cryo-sleep.<ref name="SHH">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Something Has Happened]]''</ref>
