Connor Brien was an extremely skilled worker in linguistic anthropology. He had deciphered the language and social structure of a long lost tribe found in an elaborate cave dwelling under the tundra of North America and traced their origin to a charismatic cult from the 1970's. Brien was recruited by the Office of Naval Intelligence right after the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. As an ONI intelligence officer he played an integral part in unraveling the methodology behind the Covenant by brilliantly decoding the sign of language of a captured Covenant [[Huragok|Engineer]]. | Dr. Connor Brien was an extremely skilled worker in linguistic anthropology.

His interest in Brutes was sparked by an incident in which he and a team of Marines had successfully subdued a Brute-led siege of their ship which had infiltrated Covenant space. The six Brutes were tranquilized, but the drugs wore off more quickly than expected, and the six Brutes awoke and broke through their restraints. The Marines killed the leader, inciting a primal rage in four of the remaining Brutes, who then killed the Marines. From his hiding place, Brien witnessed the four Brutes then murder the sixth, which had not participated in the melee. Brien found himself fascinated by their ferocity and strange social structure, and from then on devoted himself to studying the species. | His interest in Brutes was sparked by an incident in which he and a team of Marines had successfully subdued a Brute-led siege of their ship which had infiltrated Covenant space.
