Nicolas Strauss
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Major General Nicolas Strauss is a two-star general of the UNSC Army and a member of the UNSC Security Council.[1][2]
Biography
In September 2552, Strauss represented his service branch on the UNSC Security Council, which convened within HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 in Sydney, Australia, on Earth. Strauss was present on the committee that debriefed ONI Lieutenant Wagner. Strauss was shocked that the Covenant had glassed the planet Reach, the UNSC's primary fortress world.[2]
During the Battle of Earth, Sydney was devastated by Covenant forces. However, Facility Bravo-6 was left unscathed[3] and Major General Strauss survived.
In March 2558, Strauss served once more on the Security Council. They evaluated Captain Thomas Lasky's handling of the Second Battle of Requiem.[1]
Personality
Strauss was intimidated by Colonel James Ackerson (two ranks his junior), likely because he knew details of the SPARTAN-III program.[4]
