Hieu Dinh: Difference between revisions

Hieu Dinh started his career as a field analyst for [[ONI Section Three|Section Three]] of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], ONI tasked him with capturing and re-purposing [[Covenant]] technology.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLore|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-lore-of-the-jungle|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Lore of the Jungle|D=06|M=05|Y=2022}} Early in his career, Dinh and his [[fireteam]] were assigned a mission that had them breach and raid a fledgling [[Yanme'e]] hive inside a derelict [[Forerunner]] structure. The raid was ultimately a disaster; Dinh escaped with severe wounds, but the rest of his team perished.{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite|Detail=Season 02 Lone Wolves - Story|D=06|M=05|Y=2022}}

Dinh was left scarred by this experience in the Yanme'e hive, though his close call with death left him resilient in similarly-perilous scenarios. As such, he was recruited into the [[SPARTAN-IV program]] following the war, working alongside [[Laurette Agryna]] as they both earned experience as Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}{{Ref/Reuse|HIInter}} During the [[Created conflict]], Dinh fought against the [[Banished]] in several close-quarters engagements, including [[boarding]] actions.  At some point, he would meet Spartan [[Sigrid Eklund]] during the [[Vihar collapse]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Alpha Pack}}

During the [[Created conflict]], between [[2559]] and [[2560]], Spartans Dinh and Eklund were deployed to one of several [[Banished]] shipbreaking yards in the [[Chiltift Basin]] on [[Camber]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}}{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}} This particular facility was a former UNSC fleet depot that the Banished took over.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} Eklund and Dinh began scouting out the location, using intermittent dust storms as cover. At some point, the two Spartans spilt up, but planned to regroup and move deeper into the facility under the cover of the next dust storm.{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}} After watching the operation for two days, both Spartans discovered [[Iratus]], the first Banished AI in existence, alongside an archive detailing all Banished operations on the moon. Eklund and Dinh were discovered by Banished forces and managed to hijack a [[Banished Phantom]], but Iratus followed them into their hijacked Phantom, threatening their escape. To have a chance to escape, Dinh allowed Iratus to infect his [[Neural interface]], leaving him in a life threatening status.{{Ref/Game|HI|Season 02: Lone Wolves}}
