Gage Yevgenny was born on the UNSC colony of [[Harvest]] in 2506. He grew up helping his father on the farm, which he resented greatly, stating that the farm was just "dirt". He seemed to have a strained relationship with his father, often getting into arguments with him. | Gage Yevgenny was born on the UNSC colony of [[Harvest]] in 2506.

Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point and collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for, as well as a [[Shiva-class Nuclear Missile|Shiva nuclear device]], then flew away from the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant [[Banshee]]s, he was "accidentally" shot down by ODSTs, [[Amey]] and [[Charleston]], who knew of his betrayal. | Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back.

Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and that was where he was found mortally wounded by [[The Rookie]], who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements. The Rookie, who had listened intently, promises to remember Gage and do whatever he can against the Covenant. Gage then tells the Rookie that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs are on their way to the crash site, and warns the Rookie to get as far away as possible, as Gage is going to detonate the Shiva, killing them all. The Rookie ditches most of his gear and runs for his life until he reaches the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonates the nuke, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. The Rookie, being the only survivor, hails a Pelican and is informed that [[Reach]] has been glassed, and that the survivors are retreating to [[Earth]]. They escape as the planet is glassed, but the Rookie will not forget Gage Yevgenny, and his long and tragic life.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Dirt]]''</ref> | Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and that was where he was found mortally wounded by [[The Rookie]], who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements.
