Biography

Battle of Reach

During the Battle of Reach, he was one of the Marines aboard Station Gamma, above Reach.

Private Bisenti, along with Staff Sergeant Avery J. Johnson, Private First Class Wallace A. Jenkins, and Private O'Brien, were fighting a group of Jackals when MCPO John-117 and PO2 Linda-058 boarded the station to destroy the logs of the prowler UNSC Circumference. Bisenti and his team were evacuated from the station, and flown back to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Bisenti's squad was among those to escape the attack on Reach.

Battle of Installation 04

Bisenti later landed in the same Bumblebee life pod as Staff Sergeant Johnson did on Installation 04, and was one of the first to see John-117 after the evacuation of the Pillar of Autumn .

Bisenti then returned to Alpha Base with his squad, and they later traveled to what they thought was a Covenant weapons cache, which was uncovered by a captured Sangheili named 'Qualomee. It turned out that the cache that 'Qualomee mentioned was actually one of the Flood Containment Facilities. Bisenti and the squad were soon attacked by Flood Infection Forms.

He is presumed dead when SPARTAN-117 destroyed the Pillar of Autumn's fusion engine core, causing a destabilization and subsequently a detonation that ripped apart Installation 04's internal supports. He was one of the many Marines who didn't make it off Halo.
