Born in [[2511]] | Born in [[2511]] on the colony of [[Cascade]], Serin Çelik was the daughter of [[Pinar Çelik]], a prostitute and drug addict. Her childhood was tough, having to dig through garbage cans for food. Without the support of her mother only her teacher, [[Alkmini Leandro]], fed her and raised her.<ref name="HMD15"/> In [[2517]], she was abducted as a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] candidate. She was given the designation Serin-019, and trained under [[Chief Mendez|Chief Mendez]] along with the rest of the SPARTAN-II candidates. Because of her living conditions, she was one of the few candidates that was not replaced with a [[Flash cloning|flash clone]]. During the program, she was known to eat leftover foods from the other candidates, for which [[John-117]] teased her.<ref name="HMD15"/> | ||

This shocked the other members on the ship and angered Naomi-010, creating the very tension Osman had hoped to alleviate.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 108''</ref> Reaching New Llanelli, Osman was surprised to see 'Telcam had kept his word, and gave him tagged Sangheili weapons.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 128-132''</ref> | ||

After 'Telcam began an [[Sangheili civil war|armed insurgency]] against 'Vadam, Parangosky ordered Osman to intervene during the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]]'s attack on Thel 'Vadam's keep. While the Lord Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' openly aided 'Vadam and defeated the attackers, Osman secretly destroyed several of 'Vadam's ships, allowing the Abiding Truth's forces to escape. Her team also rescued Evan Phillips, who had been stranded on Sanghelios previously. She also rescued 'Telcam (much to his anger) from 'Vadam's forces. | |||

=== | After the operation on Sanghelios, Osman and her team were assigned to track down Naomi's father and known Venezian insurrectionist [[Staffan Sentzke]], who was seen in the company of the Kig-Yar [[Skirmisher]] [[Sav Fel]]. In April, during the mission, Osman was promoted to [[Rear admiral (lower half)|rear admiral]] and a small party was held aboard the ''Port Stanley'' in her honor by Kilo-Five (except Vaz and Naomi, who were on Venezia). | ||
