Template:Character Infobox Chyler Silva was an officer cadet of the UNSC Defense Force.[1] She attended Corbulo Academy of Military Science during the early years of the Human-Covenant War as part of the class of 2529.
Biography
Early life and education
She grew up on Cygnus, a colony world where violence between insurrectionists and UNSC supporters was a common occurrence,[2] and both of her parents died in battle against rebels.[3] A member of Hastati Squad under April Orenski, her performance in training exercises was typically exemplary. Although most other members of Hastati Squad berated Thomas Lasky for his poor performance in combat exercises and not taking his training seriously, Silva continuously attempted to encourage him to become a better soldier. Having experienced the harsh reality of the Insurrection firsthand, she was not convinced by Lasky's pacifism, maintaining that military action by the UNSC was the only way to end the war.[4] Silva's efforts eventually paid off, with Lasky volunteering to lead the squad during a capture the flag exercise and devising an ingenious tactical maneuver which allowed Hastati Squad to catch the opposing team completely by surprise.[3] This friendship turned into romance, as the two kissed just moments prior to the Battle of Circinius IV.
Battle of Circinius IV and death
- Main article: Battle of Circinius IV
As the Battle of Circinius IV started, Hastati Squad was to be evacuated via the Academy's space elevator. However, after the Covenant's destruction of the tether, the squad was caught in the battle between UNSC Marines and the Covenant military. The squad attempted to escape to the Academy's armory, which resulted in the deaths of cadets Junjie Chen and Walter Vickers at the hands of an active camouflaged Sangheili Zealot. However, the Zealot was killed by SPARTAN Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. John, who had arrived with SPARTAN-II Blue Team to assist in the defense of Circinius IV, revealed that the surviving members of Hastati Squad - Silva, Lasky, Orenski and Michael Sullivan - were among the few surviving humans left on the entire planet.
As the SPARTAN led them to an evacuation point, Silva began to break down under the stress of combat. However, when the Master Chief asked who in the squad was the best marksman, Lasky recommended Silva. John-117 escorted them outside and ordered Silva and Orenski to cover Lasky as he commandeered General Black's Warthog to allow them to escape to the extraction zone. During the engagement, Silva ran out of ammunition and had to make use of a discarded Covenant Type-51 Carbine, and proved to be quite proficient with the weapon.[5]
During the squad's escape from the Academy in Black's Warthog, Silva was hit in the stomach by a needle shard and died shortly afterwards. The rest of the squad was forced to leave her corpse behind. Distraught over her death, Lasky volunteered to bait a Hunter, allowing the Chief to kill the creature.[6]
Production notes
She is portrayed by English actress Anna Popplewell in the Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn live-action webseries.
