"Trell" is the name given to a Spartan of Fireteam Jorogumo while participating in joint operations alongside Swords of Sanghelios forces on Suban in early 2560.

Biography

Serving the Swords

By the start of 2560, Fireteam Jorogumo was assigned as part of an allied attaché under the purview of Fleetmaster Arkad Nar 'Kulul—one of the leaders of the Sanghelios home defense fleet—as part of a treaty between the United Nations Space Command and Swords of Sanghelios. In this capacity, Trell and the other members of their fireteam were at the disposal of Swords forces at the discretion of key kaidons and commanders. To help integrate the Spartans into the Swords of Sanghelios forces, each member of Fireteam Jorogumo was given Sangheili names that were not quite titles and not quite nicknames, but terms that would give them each a unique identity and stronger sense of inclusion. "Trell" was this Spartan's assigned name, while the other members of the fireteam were given the names "Glyyss," "Jaarov," and "Zhinn."

Battle of Suban

Main article: Battle of Suban

When the Banished assaulted Suban in early 2560 intending to claim the moon's supply of kemuksuru for themselves, Trell and the rest of Fireteam Jorogumo were assigned by Fleetmaster 'Kulul to a Swords of Sanghelios taskforce led by Fahl 'Nto and Orim 'Kasaan. A Kig-Yar sniper and member of the force by the name of Dahks had recently taken a liking to human-built sniper rifles, leading to lively discussions between him and Trell, who was also a sniper. On several occasions, Trell and Dahks shared best practices and past accomplishments with each other.

Eventually, the Swords taskforce was assigned a mission to infiltrate the Banished-occupied Mines of Shua'ree and eliminate the occupying force. Before the launching their attack, Fahl 'Nto led Trell, Glyyss, and Dahks on a recon mission to scout out the mine's entrance. Once within visual range of the mine, Trell began scoping out the entrance with a rangefinder while 'Nto sat on a rock next to the Spartan. When Trell confirmed that Barukaza Workshop siege-haulers were moving goods out of the mine as expected, the advance recon party continued to the mine. They contacted the rest of the force to inform them of their status and left Dahks on the overlook to provide sniper cover during the assault. Before the two Spartans and 'Nto reached the mine, Trell split off to find a second vantage point so as to provide overlapping fields of sniper fire with Dahks.

Once Glyyss and 'Nto reached the mine's mouth, Dahks marked two nearby Banished warriors to be taken out first. Glyyss executed one while 'Nto killed the other. Shortly thereafter, Swords Banshees arrived to dump plasma and fuel rods into the Banished's siege-haulers being loaded with raw kemuksuru. The resulting explosions sent a wave of confusion through the occupying forces within the mines. Then, Trell and Dahks opened up with their sniper rifles, picking off Banished targets one by one as 'Kasaan arrived with the Phantom at the mouth of the mine to release at least a dozen Sangheili warriors and the other two Spartans—Jaarov and Zhinn—onto the battlefield. As the Swords of Sanghelios forces swept through mines and slaughtered the Banished, Chieftain Ipso appeared and confronted 'Nto, ultimately besting the Sangheili in combat and knocking him to the ground. However, as the Chieftain swung his gravity hammer with the intent to finish him off, Glyyss leapt in front of 'Nto and took the blow. Glyyss was killed almost immediately as the massive blade became lodged in their back. Plasma fire from the Phantom forced Ipso to retreat, giving Jaarov and Zhinn the chance to recover Glyyss's body. With the mission falling apart, 'Nto, the other Spartans, and the rest of the Swords forces retreated themselves. As they prepared to leave in 'Kasaan's Phantom, 'Nto promised that they would return when the time was right.

Equipment

During the Battle of Suban, Trell wore RAKSHASA-class MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor with a SCORN-class helmet and UL/RS/SRC-2100 commlink. They also wore Bloodeye shoulder pauldrons and a Class IV Techkit chestpiece. A skilled marksman, Trell has been seen wielding an SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle in combat.
