During | During their childhood, James and Ruwan often imagined that they were fighting a dragon. Together, they created the imaginary [[Key of Osanalan]], which they quested after whenever they imagined fighting the creature. Later in life, Ruwan would live in [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]] on [[Earth]]. | ||

In [[2552#November|November 2552]], Ruwan was not present in Mombasa when it was [[Battle of Mombasa|destroyed]], but rather found himself caught in the Covenant-invaded [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]] with musician [[Myras Tyla]]. He, Tyla, and hundreds of other civilians were captured by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and incarcerated in a sports stadium. The Covenant demanded the Key of Osanalan. The aliens were not aware that the object was fictional; Ruwan recongnized the object from his childhood and realized that his brother had given him a chance to escape.<ref name="Issue 3"/> | |||
After civilians were rescued by a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, Ackserson and Tyla escaped in a dilpidated [[M831 Troop Transport|transport Warthog]]. After evading enemy patrols, they were found by UNSC forces and evacuated by a [[D77-TC Pelican]]. | |||
After informing his | After informing his rescuers about what he knew regarding the Key of Osanalan, he was taken to an underground [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] base in the old sewers of Cleveland. There, he met [[Sergeant]] [[Twyker]] and Intellignce Operations Manager [[Wesley]].<ref name="Issue 4">'''Halo: Uprising''' ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | ||

The Marines contacted the Covenant and informed them that they had the Key, requesting a meeting to hand over the Key. Ruwan volunteered to partake in the meeting despite the protests of Tyla, and was injected with [[Tykos 30]], an organic tracking material. He then was taken to the agreed upon meeting place at [[Chagrin Falls]], where a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] demanded he give them the key. Ruwan hesitated, and then told the Covenant that ''he'' was the Key.<ref name="Issue 4"/> | ||

He questioned the human and promised to spare Earth in exchange for his knowledge. Ruwan played along until the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] informed the human he knew about the organic tracking material. | ||

Ruwan informed the Prophet that he was mistaken: the tracking compound was actually a targeting vector. With his last words, he told the Prophet to ''"kiss [his] ass"''. The [[Orbital Defense Platform]] ''[[Nassau Station|Nassau]]'' then used its [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] to destroy ''Harbinger of Piety'', killing Ackerson and everyone else onboard.<ref name="Issue 4"/> | ||
