==Biography== | |||
Sorvad was recruited by the ONI after he had collected cursory evidence of large-scale structures from early satellite surveys of colony worlds, and anomalous [[slipstream space]] signals - evidence of [[Forerunner|artificial engineering]] in the past. According to Dr. Halsey, Sorvad wanted to join because he sensed the importance of the discoveries, with the only condition that his family be relocated with him.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} | |||
Sorvad had one daughter, [[Sára Sorvad|Sára]], who was recovered by [[ | After a meteorite impact crater of significant xenoarchaeological value was discovered near [[Visegrád]] on [[Reach]] in [[2550]], Sorvad led the research on the artifacts contained within the meteorite. During this time, he was stationed at the [[Visegrád Relay]], having been moved from [[Farragut Station]].{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} He was killed on [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]] when a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] strike team attacked the facility.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref> According to Dr. Catherine Halsey, Sorvad had reported immediately before he was killed that he had made a "latchkey discovery", something that would change the tide of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and a term that Sorvad would not use lightly.<ref name="osb">'''Halo: Reach''', ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> | ||
Sorvad had one daughter, [[Sára Sorvad|Sára]], who was recovered by [[NOBLE Team]]. | |||
