Kojo Agu: Difference between revisions

===Post-war era===

Agu continued to serve in Alpha-Nine in the years following the Covenant War, and joined the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] alongside Buck and Crespo in early [[2554]], after the Rookie's death and Dutch's retirement. In [[2555|August 2555]], Spartans Agu, Buck and Crespo were deployed to recover the [[Huragok]] now known as [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]] and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]], from a [[United Rebel Front]] stronghold on [[Talitsa]]. During the mission, it was revealed that Crespo had betrayed the team and helped the Insurrectionists engineer a trap for the Spartans. Agu and Buck were captured by an overwhelming number of rebels, but on the way to the rebels' base Romeo began to insult Mickey and the rebels' leader, [[Schein|Dr. Schein]]. Irritated, Crespo struck Agu, inadvertently pushing him down a hill. With most of the rebel soldiers focused on Romeo, Buck used the the confusion to an advantage and engaged Mickey in hand-to-hand combat while Romeo began to eliminate the Insurrectionists. The two Spartans managed to fight off their captors, but with Buck having been injured by Dr. Schein, Romeo assaulted the URF base on his own and rescued Sadie and the Huragok while Buck guarded the unconscious Mickey.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 17</ref> With their mission a success, the team returned to [[Mars]] where they turned Crespo over to [[Jun-A266]]. Following the operation, Agu and Buck were reassigned to another Spartan team at Buck's request.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 18</ref>

Sometime in [[2558]] after Buck was reassigned to [[Fireteam Osiris]],<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', Coda</ref> Agu was reassigned by ONI to a specialized solo mission to neutralize a faction of [[Kig-Yar]] [[Piracy|pirates]] that were disrupting a UNSC supply chain at [[Concord]]. Utilizing a prototype of the [[DEADEYE-class Mjolnir]] armor system, Agu succeeded in eliminating the pirates after a four-day long operation. Afterwards, he was reassigned to a Spartan fireteam, whose name and operations remain classified.<ref name="fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-lore-of-the-rings '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Lore of the Rings'']</ref>

==Personality and traits==

Agu is shown interacting aggressively or abrasively with almost every squad member, as they will tell him to show some respect, including striking the [[Rookie]] with his [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] to wake him up. He is good friends with Miles, the squad's heavy weapons specialist. In his old unit, Agu racked-up multiple code of conduct violations, any one of which should have resulted in demotion—or worse.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''Firefight character description''</ref> However, he was kept because the UNSC were running out of battle tested snipers, and Agu was one of the best. He is a consummate combatant but also saw himself as something of a ladies' man, hence his nickname "Romeo". Later, after becoming a Spartan-IV, he began taking advantage of his formal title, "Spartan Agu", to impress the ladies.<ref name="H:NB">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 1</ref> He is proud of his colonial background, and doesn't hold much respect toward Earth. Prior to the Battle of Earth, he had never been to Earth, and had only seen it from the window of a transport. While he is still listed as a Madrigali citizen, Agu's last known place of residence is [[Holetown]], [[New Barbados]] on the colony of [[Emerald Cove]].<ref name="squad"/>
