Avery Johnson: Difference between revisions

Avery J. Johnson was born in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] of the former [[United States of America]]. His family broke up when he was at the age of six<ref> [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] page 42</ref> and he was raised by his [[Aunt Marcielle|aunt]] whose holy beliefs resonated within the Sergeant and often made him question his own decision to kill other human beings, even long after her death. His name was associated with dozens of secret Ops, including the [[ORION Project]], otherwise known as the SPARTAN-I Program, initiated in 2491. After a brutal mission in [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] that killed much of his team, he was reassigned to form a Colonial Militia on [[Harvest]], in response to mysterious attacks on human freighters near the planet. While stationed at Harvest, Johnson was one of the first human beings to encounter the Covenant, destroying the ship [[Minor Transgression]] in the process. He aided [[Staff Sergeant Byrne]] and ONI operative [[Jilan al-Cygni]] in repelling the Brute ship  [[Rapid Conversion]] long enough to allow most of the planet's population to escape in the [[Tiara]], seven different Space elevators stationed on the planet. He, along with the surviving members of his militia, escape the planet and prepare themselves for the new threat to humanity.
