'''Corporal Vasily "Vaz" Beloi''', sometimes referred to as '''Vasya''', is a [[Corporal|non-commissioned officer]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]. In [[2553|January 2553]], he was assigned to [[Kilo-Five]], a highly covert intelligence unit under the command of [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''"Chapter 2"''</ref> | |||

===Early life=== | |||
Vasily was born in [[Wikipedia:Russia|Russia]] on [[Earth]]. When he was four, his father, [[Oleg Beloi]], left Earth for a few weeks to work on a construction project on [[Lostwithiel]]. However the Covenant attacked the colony while he was there, and Vaz never saw him again.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 98''</ref> At some point in his life, he dated a woman named Chrissie. However, she left him, and this caused kept Vaz awake at night. Then moved into a phase where he would get angry if someone mentioned her around him, but he eventually got over her.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 124-127''</ref> | |||

After enlisting in the UNSC, Beloi saw eight years of combat until the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 216''</ref> and participated in over 100 [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] drops.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 28''</ref> He served in the same unit as fellow ODSTs [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Emanuel Barakat]] and a solid camaraderie developed between them.

They were initially refused entry into the temple by [[Olar]] because they were non-believers. As BB negotiated with him, a nearby Sangheili crowd became aggravated by their presence. Olar relented and allowed Kilo-Five inside the temple. After they realized that Phillips was no longer inside, they evacuated as the Sangheili mob stormed the area.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 179''</ref> | ||
BB eventually located Phillips through an intercepted communication and they quickly traveled to [[Nes'alun Keep]] in [[Acroli]] to evacuate him. They extracted Phillips in the midst of a skirmish at the keep. When asked by the keep's lady, [[Elar 'Nas]], why they were abandoning them, Vaz replied "Not my war."

They extracted Phillips in the midst of a skirmish at the keep. When asked by the keep's lady, [[Elar 'Nas]], why they were abandoning them, Vaz replied "Not my war." During their evacuation, their Pelican ''[[Tart-Cart]]'' was damaged by a [[Banshee]], forcing Devereaux to put her down for repairs. They were followed by a [[Phantom]] piloted by [[Forze 'Mdama]], who had been sent by 'Telcam to recover Phillips for them. Vaz conversed with Forze as he waited for 'Telcam's consent to hand Phillips over to them. After being instructed to help them with repairs, Forze handed over some pipes and wire and left. Devereaux was then able to get ''Tart-Cart'' off the ground. | ||
On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'' a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. There, they witnessed ''Infinity'' in action as it helped the Arbiter by destroying many of the Abiding Truth's vessels. Parangosky then ordered them to extract their informant 'Telcam from the ground. As Kilo-Five abducted 'Telcam from the battle, ''Port Stanley'' posed as a [[Kig-Yar]] pirate ship and destroyed a few of 'Vadam's ships in order to maintain the stalemate between the two factions. They dropped 'Telcam off on New Llanelli and were later retrieved by ''Port Stanley''. | On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'' a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

With Spenser's help, Vaz and Naomi went undercover as UNSC deserters and investigated Venezia's [[black market]]s. During their investigation of Insurrectionist activity on the planet, they spotted Staffan Sentzke in company with the [[T'vaoan]] [[Sav Fel]], the possessor of the battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]'', which had been prioritized as one of the objectives of Kilo-Five.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 430-431''</ref> Out of risk that Naomi's past with Sentzke might compromise her cover, Mal replaced her as Vaz's partner. The two ODSTs set out to infiltrate the Venezian militia in order to gain information on Sentzke and ''Pious Inquisitor''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 84''</ref> | ||
Vaz and Mal met [[Nairn]] and were successful in infiltrating the local militia.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 147''</ref> They then met Staffan Sentzke and his son [[Edvin Sentzke|Edvin]] and were taken to see ''Pious Inquisitor'' due to their professed experience with Covenant equipment.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 183''</ref> Using a tracer planted by Vaz, Kilo-Five attempted to seize control of the ship using Venezia's slipspace communicator. However, their hack was foiled by the ship's [[Huragok]], [[Sometimes Sinks]], who alerted Sentzke of the attempted intrusion. | |||
Staffan Sentzke had Mal and Vaz captured and interrogated at the [[Stuttgart armory]]. Vaz revealed that he had information about Staffan's daughter. While Sentzke continued to question Vaz at a secure location, Black-Box used Mal and Vaz's neural transponders to locate them. Naomi took the team's new dropship, ''[[Bogof]]'' — retrieved only moments earlier from ''[[Anchor 10]]'' — and rescued Mal from the rebels' compound. Meanwhile, Lian Devereaux took ''Tart-Cart'' to retrieve Vaz and took Sentzke prisoner. They returned to ''Port Stanley'' where Sentzke was informed about the Spartan program and allowed to reunite with his daughter. | |||
===''Pious Inquisitor''=== | |||
Meanwhile, a [[Kig-Yar]] crew, lead by [[Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]], was contracted by 'Telcam located ''Pious Inquisitor''. The Kig-Yar boarded the ''Inquisitor'' and attempted to commandeer the ship for themselves. Sinks, distrustful of the Kig-Yar and only compliant to Sentzke's orders, placed the ship in complete lock-down. Once Kilo-Five located the ship, Sentzke convinced Sinks to allow them to come onboard. Planning to escape, Sentzke had Vaz promise to take care of Naomi and in turn gave his word to cease his aggression against Earth. Mal and Naomi boarded the ship in a different location and eliminated several members of the Kig-Yar crew. | |||
Shipmistress Von set the ship to explode and escaped with her remaining crew. While Kilo-Five escaped to their dropships, Sentzke took a Spirit from the shuttle bay but stayed in range to ensure Naomi was safe. Vaz requested BB to give Sentzke the file on Naomi's kidnapping to prove him right to his doubting family; BB complied and sent the files to Sentzke's Spirit. BB discovered Sinks had secretly rigged the Spirit with a miniature slipspace drive which would enable him and Sentzke to escape. Black-Box knew ONI would never stop hunting Sentzke if they knew he was alive and chose to erase his own recollection of the incident, leaving Kilo-Five to conclude that Sentzke had died when the ship exploded. | |||
The mission was eventually a success and Kilo-Five was granted shore leave on [[Cascade]]. Vaz and Mal went to drink at a bar in the [[Old Admiralty Hotel]] in [[Kowloon]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 480''</ref> | |||
