Template:Character Infobox

Baruti Komen, nicknamed Gramps, was a veteran Orbital Drop Shock Trooper of the UNSC Marine Corps and a short-time member of Edward Buck's fireteam.[1]

Biography

Baruti Komen had enlisted in the UNSC at the very start of the Human-Covenant War. For nearly three decades, he fought against Covenant forces in multiple skirmishes. Near the end of the war, Komen became the sole survivor of his ODST unit. UNSC High Command then matched Komen with another unit, and by early 2552 he was transferred to fireteam Alpha-Nine, where he served under Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck.

Fall of Reach

Later that year, Alpha-Nine was part of 11th Shock Troops Battalion during the Covenant invasion of the planet Reach. During the battle of Reach, Komen was killed when a burst of plasma impacted his chest and blew out his heart. At the time of his death, the squad was merely holding a piece of ground for reasons undisclosed to them, leaving Buck to later wondered if Baruti had died for a noble cause. Komen's death left an open spot in Alpha-Nine, which was soon filled by another Shock Trooper.[1]
