Ayit 'Sevi was hired as a mercenary by the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] at some point prior to [[2558#May|May 2558]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE19}} He was sent to extract a [[bioweapon]] on [[Ven III]], a small, barely inhabitable planet that became home to numerous [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]]s, smugglers, [[black market]] arm dealers, and slavers. After the [[UNSC High Command]] failed to respond to the pirate threat, [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]] hoped that the presence of the bioweapon would lure in {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} to destroy the pirate nest.<ref name=HE12/> On May 8, 2558, Ayit retrieved a canister containing the biological agent from a former Covenant laboratory where the bioweapon had killed several [[Kig-Yar]]. Ayit's departure was observed by a UNSC [[spy drone]] which transmitted the feed to ONI. In order to have the UNSC take action against the pirates, Admiral Osman lied to [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Thomas Lasky]] of the UNSC ''Infinity'' that ONI believed Ayit to be an operative of [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]], and that the Sangheili may have double-crossed the Kig-Yar in the facility and killed them with the bioweapon. In response, Osman sent ''Infinity'' to Ven III to capture the Sangheili for interrogation.<ref name=HE11>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref>

[[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] and [[Naiya Ray]] were [[Mission to Ven III|deployed]] to the planet to capture the Sangheili. During their mission, Ayit destroyed the spy drone and observed the Spartans enter a series of canyons. When the two Spartans entered a structure, they were ambushed by the Sangheili and a contingent of Kig-Yar. During the resulting skirmish, Ayit attached [[Shock device|a device]] on Thorne's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Recruit|armor]] and rendered him unconscious. Taking Thorne aboard his [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]], Ayit fled the area. Ray pursued the Sangheili and followed him to the massive Kig-Yar black market.<ref name=HE11/>

At some point in 2558, 'Sevi sabotaged a [[Covenant communication node|communications node]] on a world in the [[Urs]]-[[Fied]]-[[Joori]] system, killing two [[Sangheili Storm]] warriors that attempted to investigate his activities in the process. ONI recorded this incident and used it as proof of his unorthodox nature and cunning. By September 2558, 'Sevi was able to infiltrate inside [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and provided ONI with information about Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] and her discovery of the [[Absolute Record]]. After his last report, 'Sevi traveled to the UNSC ''Infinity'' to assist with [[Operation: ATHENA]], a mission in which 'Sevi would use his false affiliation with 'Mdama's Covenant to allow a four-member team—Spartans Gabriel Thorne, [[Sarah Palmer]] and [[Holly Tanaka]], and Dr. [[Henry Glassman]]—to infiltrate ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]''. Once aboard the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]], the team would alert ONI of the Absolute Record's coordinates once 'Mdama's fleet arrived at its location. On [[2558#September|September 17, 2558]], 'Sevi piloted a [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]] into a [[hangar bay]] in ''Annihilation'' with his human allies aboard. When 'Mdama's fleet traveled to the coordinates provided by the [[Janus Key]], a [[slipspace portal]] leading to the Absolute Record formed nearby. Slipspace ruptures materialized around the fleet, destroying two [[Covenant cruiser]]s and damaging ''Breath of Annihilation''. 'Sevi and the others prepared to abandon their position, but discovered that their [[Telemetry probe|way of contact]] with ONI was destroyed.<ref name="nineteen">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 19|Issue #19]]''</ref>

Deciding to commandeer a Phantom from a nearby hangar, 'Sevi told the humans to follow him a minute after he leaves, giving him time to take out the Covenant soldiers outside of their damaged [[dropship]]. Creating a smoke screen, 'Sevi eliminated all Covenant soldiers in his way as he traveled to the next hangar, but the Spartans were forced to forego 'Sevi's wait time when Glassman was knocked unconscious. As they moved towards the next hangar, they encountered several Sangheili and Kig-Yar soldiers. After fighting their way to the hangar, a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] prepared to fire on them. However, 'Sevi managed to operate the Phantom in time and destroyed the tank. Once the humans were aboard the dropship, 'Sevi piloted the Phantom to ''[[Song of Retribution]]'', 'Mdama's [[flagship]].  Accessing Covenant communications, 'Sevi learned that 'Mdama intended for only ''Retribution'' to enter the portal while the rest of the fleet remained behind to make any necessary repairs. Realizing that they still needed a way to contact the UNSC, 'Sevi and Thorne returned to ''Breath of Annihilation'' in the Phantom where establishing contact with the UNSC was more viable, while Palmer, Tanaka, and Glassman remained on ''Retribution''.
