Biography

A native of Emerald Cove, Sullivan entered the Corbulo Academy of Military Science in 2526 as a freshman cadet assigned to Hastati Squad. He had a habit of 'dying' in combat exercises. Despite this, he never lost his enthusiasm and became friends with Thomas Lasky, though the rest of the squad was hostile to the perceived "Innie lover".

Convinced that the Office of Naval Intelligence was hiding something from the greater whole of humanity, Sullivan hacked mission recordings of UNSCDF personnel ostensibly fighting in the Insurrection. He had discovered the helmet camera footage of a Spartan in a three-way battle among the UNSC, Insurrectionists, and the Covenant. Sullivan bragged about the supersoldier's ability to decapitate a man with his hands, and eventually managed to decrypt the entire footage, which showed a Sangheili warrior reflected in Frederic-104's visor, whom he thought was an ODST. Sullivan's activities were interrupted when the communications terminal suddenly went offline, leading him to believe ONI had caught on to him.

The communications blackout was however the result of a far more serious threat. That evening, Circinius IV was attacked by the hostile alien faction known as the Covenant. Sullivan's room mate Dimah Tchakova was killed while the cadets attempted to evacuate, and Sullivan was pressed into the defense of the planet with the surviving cadets.
