| Graselyn Tuwa hailed from [[Nephis]], a moon of the gas giant [[Hephestes]] in the [[Tsiphone system]]. The Tuwa family held considerable power and status on her homeworld, with her sister [[Prudence Tuwa]] serving as the [[Premier of Nephis]] by [[2553]].
| | Throughout her career in the [[UNSC Navy]], [[Admiral]] Tuwa had gained a reputation for being a tough, sneaky tactician.<ref name="ll324">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 324-325''</ref> |

| In [[2553]], [[Admiral]] Tuwa was in command of a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}, the [[flagship]] of a Navy [[battle group]]. That year, Tuwa was charged by Admiral [[Margaret Parangosky]] with bringing the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] to the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] in the [[Cordoba system]] in search of [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]]. While the [[battalion]] operated on Gao's surface, Tuwa's battle group remained just beyond the planet's orbit.{{Ref/Reuse|ll232}} | | In [[2553]], Tuwa was in command of a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}, the [[flagship]] of a Navy [[battle group]].

| After the battalion was attacked on [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Tuwa was unable to have her task force send more than a handful of [[platoon]]s to Gao's surface to aid the battalion under orders from Parangosky to prevent the UNSC from infringing on Gao's sovereignty and risking a planet-wide insurgency.{{Ref/Reuse|ll232}} On [[2553#July|July 5, 2553]], Tuwa and her task force attempted to mask their approach into Gao's orbit by taking the Cenobian Corridor, a route behind Gao's closest [[moon]] of [[Cenobia]]. However, the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] anticipated this move and blockaded the route. Instead, Tuwa deployed several [[Pelican]]s and [[D102 Owl]]s to aid the battalion, but several of these [[dropship]]s were destroyed by the Ministry of Protection's [[fleet]] of [[patrol corvette]]s.<ref name="ll271">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 268-271''</ref> Tuwa later devised plans to extract the surviving forces of the battalion from the planet's surface.{{Ref/Reuse|ll324}} | | After the battalion was attacked on [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Tuwa was unable to have her task force send more than a handful of [[platoon]]s to Gao's surface to aid the battalion under orders from Parangosky to prevent the UNSC from infringing on Gao's sovereignty and risking a planet-wide insurgency.<ref name="ll232"/> On [[2553#July|July 5, 2553]], Tuwa and her task force attempted to mask their approach into Gao's orbit by taking the Cenobian Corridor, a route behind Gao's closest [[moon]] of [[Cenobia]].

| Shortly after the conflict on Gao, Tuwa was promoted to the rank of [[Fleet admiral]]. In [[2553#December|December 2553]], Tuwa was assassinated and her family was abducted. Suspecting factions like the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Banished]], the Office of Naval Intelligence retaliated by sending a [[Ferret]] team led by [[Veta Lopis]] to find her killer and rescue her family in [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]]. However, while forensic evidence showed that Tuwa was murdered by [[Jiralhanae]], humans and [[Kig-Yar]], suggesting the Keepers, the Ferrets discovered it to be a misdirection by [[Intrepid Eye]] through [[Dark Moon Enterprises]]. In reality, the true targets were Tuwa's husband and children who were the only survivors of the deadly [[asteroidea merozoite]] disease due to a unique mutation they carried.

| After using the Tuwa family for two weeks to culture cells containing the mutation and thus asteroidea antibodies for a vaccine, they were murdered, their organs cut out and the bodies dumped in the detention center of the Keepers' [[Salvation Base]] in order to further frame the Keepers for the assassination and the murders. However, the Dark Moon operatives were encountered by the Ferrets in the process of leaving the bodies and they realized the scene was staged. The Ferrets recovered the bodies of Admiral Tuwa's family and used the forensic evidence recovered from them to continue the mission. After the destruction of the [[cryo-jar]]s containing the family's organs and the deaths of [[Papa-10]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]], ONI came to the conclusion that Craddog was behind [[Project SLEEPING STAR]] and the effort to turn asteroidea into a [[bioweapon]] and thus the true culprit in the murders and remained unaware that Intrepid Eye was behind it.<ref>'''[[Halo: Retribution]]'''</ref>
