Biography

Early life

Rion Forge was born to UNSC Marine Corps sergeant John Forge in around 2525. She had a rough relationship with her mother, who rarely spoke with Rion's father, though she was close with her aunt Jillian. Due to her father's career and the beginning of the Human-Covenant War, Forge rarely saw her father as he participated in battles against the Covenant throughout human space. In August 2530, at age five, Forge went with Jillian to see her father at an officer's lounge. The two were approached by the drunk Lieutenant Prosser, who aggressively flirted with Jillian. After the officer enraged Jillian, she struck him and, in turn, Prosser shoved her against a wall and pressed down on her throat. John intervened and attacked Prosser, leading to his incarceration for assaulting a senior officer.

Salvaging career

centering her operations in New Tyne on the independent world of Venezia, often working along the Via Casilina Trade Route. Forge used the Mariner-class transport ship Ace of Spades as her, crewed by... In around 2555, Forge was in the mining slums of Aleria when siblings Lessa and Niko attempted to hack into her commpad. Rather than turn them other to the authorities, Forge recruited both of them into her crew. Forge found success in her career, creating what she described as a "lovely little circle of profit", as her jobs provided her profit to keep her crew satisfied, her ship operational, and her informants eager to continue dealing with her. Forge soon became one of New Tyne's most notable salvagers. She often traded with Nor Fel, a T'vaoan who owned a clearing house business that bought goods obtained by Forge. The two enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, with Fel providing Forge with information on large salvage finds before her other clients.

In December of 2556, Forge participated in a four-way bidding war for a small piece of Forerunner navigational databoard at a small bazaar on Komoya. After winning the bidding war, she sold the databoard for a large profit, despite the damage the device had sustained. Shortly after, Forge discovered information on a Forerunner Luminary, which she began working towards locating. In January 2557, after spending six weeks away on their last job, Forge and her crew returned to Venezia to sell their salvage, including a stasis field generator to Fel and a small lot of Type-25 Spikers and Type-51 carbines to a Sangheili, bringing in a decent amount of profit.

Personality and traits

Forge has been described as reckless and volatile Forge found enjoyment in her career as a salvagers, believing that she was good at it. She created her own way to success in the business, never hesitating to take more drastic actions to remain one of New Tyne's most notable salvagers. Forge presented herself as neutral, believing her business depended on it. She avoided politics, religion, and rebellions, though she sometimes recalled how her family would have disagreed with her refusal to take a side.

Despite her success as a salvager, Forge found that her career often left her engaging in sales and transactions that left her with feelings of doubt and misgivings, believing that these deals betrayed what honor, integrity, and loyalty she had left. She referred to these dealings as dark karmic tally marks that put a few kinks in her otherwise successful and enjoyable career. Each time she sold weapons to a former member of the Covenant, Forge felt a nagging sense of betrayal, despite the empire's demise and her lack of loyalties to the Unified Earth Government. To avoid such feelings during the deals, Forge would always have a few drinks at Stavros' bar in New Tyne after ending the transaction.
