Sigrid Eklund served in the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Army Rangers|Army Rangers]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], working behind the lines on [[Covenant]]-occupied worlds alongside [[human]] resistance groups.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLore|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-lore-of-the-jungle|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Lore of the Jungle|D=06|M=05|Y=2022}} In [[2551|December 2551]], Sergeant Eklund and her Army Rangers were deployed to support the UNSC's [[Defense of Concord|defense]] of [[Concord]]. On December 6, Ekulund's troops managed to neutralize the Covenant's last emplacement in the [[Caravelle province]], with two [[M9 Wolverine]]s being lost to [[Banshee]]s in the process. After this skirmish, Eklund and her Rangers planned to move out and rendezvous with local Concordian militia groups at a [[mass driver]] station, hoping that the militias would welcome them. On this same day, Eklund sent a communique to [[Commander]] [[Renna]] summarizing these events and requesting information on activity reported at the [[Lethbridge Combat Fields|combat fields]] outside of [[Lethbridge]] the day prior.{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-infinite-lone-wolves-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite - Lone Wolves Intel|D=03|M=11|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}}

Eklund's experience in the Army Rangers saw her recruited into the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] after the war. By [[2554|December 11, 2554]] Eklund was attached to [[Fireteam Crimson]], where she excelled during operations [[Operation: BELLINGHAM|BELLINGHAM]] and [[Operation: LATE TAXI|LATE TAXI]]. Following these assignments, [[Jun-A266]] recommended Eklund to [[Musa Ghanem]] for more isolated endeavors. At some point, she met Spartan [[Hieu Dinh]] during the [[Vihar collapse]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Alpha|HI|Alpha Pack}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}

During the [[Created conflict]], between [[2559]] and [[2560]], Spartans Eklund and Dinh were deployed to one of several [[Banished]] shipbreaking yards in the [[Chiltift Basin]] on [[Camber]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}} This particular facility was a former UNSC fleet depot that the Banished took over.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} Eklund and Dinh began scouting out the location, using intermittent dust storms as cover. At some point, the two Spartans spilt up and Eklund began to believe that there was something more going on at the shipbreaking facility.{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}} After watching the operation for two days, both Spartans discovered [[Iratus]], the first Banished AI in existence, alongside an archive detailing the entirety of Banished operations on the moon. Eklund and Dinh were discovered by Banished forces and managed to hijack a [[Banished Phantom]], but Iratus followed them into their hijacked Phantom, threatening their escape. To have a chance to escape, Dinh allowed Iratus to infect his [[neural interface]], leaving him in a comatose state.{{Ref/Game|Id=LW|HI|Season 02: Lone Wolves}}

Eklund managed to bring the Phantom into the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]], where she informed Spartan Commander [[Laurette Agryna]] about their mission on Camber and the events behind Dinh's situation.{{Ref/Reuse|LW}} During a target practice, she would met one of the Spartans who saved Dinh's live, and gave to her Spartan comrade lessons about how the Lone Wolves operate.{{Ref/Reuse|Alpha}}

Eklund employs the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] [[RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir|Rakshasa]] armor with a [[Stribog]] helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} She also maintains a series of [[Sigrid Eklund's field notes|field notes]] detailing experiences and interactions with other UNSC personnel and the various equipment she encounters.
