Sergeant Lian Devereaux is a UNSC Marine and an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper formerly assigned to the 10th Shock Troops Battalion. She is a trained pilot.[1] In January 2553, she was assigned to Kilo-Five, a highly covert intelligence unit under the command of Captain Serin Osman.[2]
Biography
Lian Devereaux was raised in northeast Canada.[1] Her father was French-Canadian and her mother was Chinese.[3]
During the Human-Covenant War, Devereaux enlisted in the UNSC and was eventually trained as a pilot in the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. By the end of the war, all of her known family members were either dead or estranged, a fact which made her a suitable candidate for Kilo-Five.[4]
Post-war
In January 2553, she and two other ODSTs, Staff Sergeant Malcolm Geffen and Corporal Vasily Beloi, were hand-picked by the Office of Naval Intelligence to serve under Captain Serin Osman in a covert operations team known as Kilo-Five. They were tasked with sowing a war among the Sangheili to destabilize their homeworld.[5] Devereaux was assigned as Kilo-Five's pilot, providing planetside transportation on the modified Pelican dropship she nicknamed "Tart-Cart", as they operated from the UNSC Port Stanley.[6]
Devereaux went along with the rest of Kilo-Five as they traveled to New Llanelli for their first arms exchange with the Servants of the Abiding Truth. Devereaux stayed with the ship as Sangheili insurgent Avu Med 'Telcam was given tagged weapons and Tom Muir was extracted.[7] Later she opened contact with Mike Spenser, who had been hiding on Reynes since the glassing of the planet and was going to be picked up next. During the extraction on Reynes, Devereaux became worried about Kig-Yar inspecting the Tart-Cart, but the team killed them after a quick fight.[8] The team's next task was to save the UNSC Ariadne who was damaged but near Venezia, a colony under Insurrectionist rule. However, the team witnessed the ship's destruction at the hands of Venezia.[9]

Venezian movement
While Mal and Vaz infiltrated the Venezian militia, Naomi and Devereaux traveled to Anchor 10 with the Pelican Tart-Cart to retrieve a new dropship to Kilo-Five, having it immediately upgraded with the same capabilities as Tart-Cart by the Huragok Requires Adjustment.[10] During the trip, however, Mal and Vaz were captured by the Insurrectionists on Venezia and Naomi and Devereaux were immediately tasked with the rescue mission. Devereaux piloted the Tart-Cart, while Naomi went after Mal with the Bogof.

Pious Inquisitor
Meanwhile, Kilo-Five managed to track down Pious Inquisitor, which had been boarded by a Kig-Yar pirate crew attempting to commandeer the ship for themselves.[11] The mission was eventually a success and Kilo-Five was granted shore leave on Cascade. Devereaux went to a concert with Evan Phillips, the two having grown fond of one another during their time with Kilo-Five.[12]

Personality and traits
Devereaux speaks with an accent which betrays her upbringing in northeastern Canada, while her appearance reflects her Chinese ancestry.[1][3] She is at least partially fluent in her mother's native language, as evidenced by her occasional habit of swearing in Cantonese.[13]
Devereaux's mixed-heritage childhood featured bizarre food combinations; as a result, she is never squeamish around strange foods.[3]
