Gage Yevgenny was born on the Human outer colony of [[Harvest]] in 2506 to a farming family. He lost his mother at a young age and his father raised him alone. He was an angry child and greatly resented helping his father on his farm, stating that it was just "dirt". He seemed to have a strained relationship with his father, often getting into arguments with him. | Gage Yevgenny was born on the Human outer colony of [[Harvest]] in 2506 to a farming family.

After getting out of boot camp, Gage met [[Felicia Sanderson]] and [[Eric Santiago]] at the [[Utgard]] [[Utgard Spaceport|Spaceport]]. The three quickly became friends. They participated in [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] on [[Eridanus II]] in minor assignments, such as investigating possible [[Insurrectionist|rebel]] activity and riot control in [[Elysium City]]. After two months, they had made friends with [[Allison Stark]], a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] pilot for the CMA, who often flew them to parties on weekends. One particular weekend, after the four flew a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] to a night club, an Insurrectionist bomb inside of the club detonated. The blast killed Allison, sent Eric into a coma, and heavily injured Gage and Felicia, who were pulled out of the rubble by ODSTs. | ||
While recovering in hospital, Gage, inspired by the ones that saved them, decided to join the ODSTs. Felicia, who had nothing else to lose, decided to join along with him. However, after several weeks of hard training, they were informed of the [[Covenant]] threat and Harvest's destruction. Felicia fell into horrified shock and screamed at Gage for his disrespect toward the planet. | While recovering in hospital, Gage, inspired by the ones that saved them, decided to join the ODSTs.

Felicia was transferred from Gage's squad. Gage lost track of her, and for the next twenty-seven years, he fought hard in the war against the Covenant. He participated in many vicious battles, and soon stopped making friends after seeing so many die. The war began to take its toll on him after countless crushing defeats, and he became a very serious, hardened man. | Felicia was transferred from Gage's squad. Gage lost track of her, and for the next twenty-seven years, he fought hard in the war against the Covenant. He saw his first action in the [[Battle of Hat Yai]]. He participated in many vicious battles (such as the [[Battle of Asmara]]), and eventually was left the only survivor out of his original squad.

During the [[Battle of Skopje]] in [[2547]], Yevgenny and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a super soldier clad in green armor. The soldier led the survivors to safety while engaging smaller aliens with impunity and meeting [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] on equal terms. The ODSTs were led to a castle that was being used as the Marines' command center. Yevgenny, awed at the sight of the super-soldier, asked a comrade what he had encountered; he learned that he had been rescued by a [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]], part of a top-secret project that had recently been unveiled by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. Yevgenny became disturbed by the realization that the ODSTs were no longer the most elite fighters of humanity. | During the [[Battle of Skopje]] in [[2547]], Yevgenny and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a super soldier clad in green armor.
