Template:Character Infobox April Orenski was an officer cadet of the UNSC Defense Force. She attended Corbulo Academy of Military Science as part of the class of 2526.[1]
Biography
Orenski attended Corbulo Academy of Military Science early in the Human-Covenant War in 2526. She was to pass out that year, and served as a class commander leading her younger peers in the class of 2529.[2] She was a harsh taskmaster towards her Hastati Squad, assigning snap early morning exercises and not tolerating failure or insubordination.[2][3]
Even by mid-2526, Orenski was not aware that her homeworld had been glassed by the Covenant or the fact that a campaign to reclaim it had begun. Thus, the invasion of Circinius IV came as a complete surprise to her. Much of her squad was killed early on in the engagement, and along with Thomas Lasky, Chyler Silva, and Michael Sullivan, she was one of the few people on the entire planet to survive the initial Covenant attack. Her confidence was severely shaken by the stress of combat, leading Lasky to become Hastati Squad's de facto leader. However, this did not prevent her from acquitting herself well in combat.[4]
With the help of Spartan John-117, Orenski and the other cadets escaped the academy to the woods nearby in order to rendezvous with Blue Team's Pelican. Orenski was among the three surviving cadets to successfully the escape from the planet.[5]
Personality
Orenski projected a serious, no-nonsense demeanor towards her subordinates at Corbulo, acting very much like a stereotypical Drill Instructor. As a result, she was nicknamed "the Robot" among the other members of Hastati Squad.[2] However, in a truly stressful situation, this demeanor would slip, and she would be much less confident and assertive.[4]
Production notes
She is portrayed by actress Enisha Brewster in the feature-length film Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.
