Janissary James

Janissary James, or Jan for short, is a Spartan 1.1, having all the enhancements of a Spartan 1.0 but without the training. She was unaware of her enhancements for much of her life, until a particularly "clever" Cop figured it out.

Early Life

Janissary James lived a normal early life until she was six. There, a man came looking for gifted children. Due to her passing all of her tests and having exceptional skills at hopscotch, the man wanted to recruit her for the SPARTAN-II Program. However, when he came for her, her father shot and killed the ONI Agent. Afterward, to hide from the UNSC, they moved around frequently to avoid people picking up their trail.

Jan meets Thin Kinkle

Thin Kinkle is a gangster that worked for Monster Ann and the Crystal Security mob. His and Jan's path cross when he attempted to kill an underling in a moons parlor, and Janissary James intervened. Not wishing a fight, he challenged her to a game of moons. Impressed by her skills, he offered to take her under his wing; she declined.

Later, Jan messed up a rape Kinkle had set up as a gang initiation test. Furious, he kidnapped and tortured her using Cupid's Knife. When Jan's father tried to rescue her, Kinkle killed him in front of her, and then activated the torture device.

Jan meets Melissa

At James's funeral, Jersey approaches Jan and tells her that he had been secretly spying on her, and knew the conditions of her father's death. He then tells Jan that he and Melissa would be able to help her get back at Thin. Jersey is then introduced to Gladys, who needs to be convinced of Melissa's authenticity.

With her mother Gilly, Jan later launched an assault on the Crystal Security building to hunt down Kinkle. There, they were able to corner Kinkle and Monster Ann. In an attempt to be motherly and spare her daughter from having to kill, Gilly shot Kinkle and Monster Ann.

After the UNSC refused to let her join the Navy, she joined Melissa's vigilante group to deactivate the Deep-Space Artifact in Chawla Base. After the artifact had been deactivated, she was approached by another Spartan 1.1, Kevin, who recruited her for an assault on the Covenant. Unfortunately, the Covenant fleet attacked Earth before they had a chance to strike. Her current condition is unknown.
