Biography
Human-Covenant War
After enlisting in the UNSC, Beloi saw eight years of combat until the end of the Human-Covenant War,[1] and participated in over 100 SOEIV drops.[2] He served in the same unit as fellow ODSTs Malcolm Geffen and Emanuel Barakat and a solid camaraderie developed between them. During a battle on Imber, Beloi, Geffen and Barakat hijacked a Spirit to exfiltrate from the planet.[3][4]
Post-war
In 2553, Beloi and Geffen were hand-picked by the Office of Naval Intelligence Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Margaret Parangosky, to serve under Captain Serin Osman as part of a black operations team designated Kilo-Five. On their way to the initial briefing in HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 in Sydney, they stopped by in the ruins of bar Parthenon to honor Emanuel Barakat, who had been killed in action during the final stages of the war.[5]
After being assigned to Kilo-Five, Beloi accompanied the team on a number of missions, operating on the UNSC Port Stanley. These included dropping off tagged Sangheili weaponry to Avu Med 'Telcam on New Llanelli to aid Sangheili insurrection, evacuating Mike Spenser from Reynes, and an attempt to aid the UNSC Ariadne, dead in space near Venezia, only to arrive too late and witness the ship's destruction.[6][7]
At one point, they seized the Covenant auxiliary ship Piety and captured a Huragok. Later on, they entered Shield World 006, a Forerunner Dyson sphere, and recovered the human survivors inside while arresting Dr. Halsey under orders from Admiral Parangosky.

Personality and traits
Beloi holds strong personal concepts of right and wrong and is uncompromising in his moral views, having a tendency of seeing moral conflicts as black and white.[8] As a result, he was greatly distraught after learning about the origins of the SPARTAN-II and SPARTAN-IIIs programs as well as the young age of the SPARTAN-IIIs of Gamma Company.[9] His sense of justice can be quite extreme, as demonstrated when he planned on killing Dr. Halsey for the suffering caused as a result of the SPARTAN-II program, convinced that justice would never be served otherwise.
He is of Russian descent and is a Russian citizen.[10][11] This is evident, among other things, by his name, his heavy accent,[12] and his referring to World War II as the "Great Patriotic War."[13]
