Professor Ellen Anders was born on the [[United Nations Space Command]] colony of [[Arcadia (Planet)|Arcadia]]. he apparently studied under [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]], though their relationship is tense, with neither holding the other in a fond regard.<ref>http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/31804095-7B32-4CE2-A17E 3CB54A3692EF/0/HaloWars_MNL_EN.PDF</ref> In [[2531]], some time before the [[Third Battle of Harvest]], she was giving a lecture on "Theoretical Xenobiology" in [[Rishard University]]. She was at a fruit stand when a mysterious man went up to her. He told her that Dr.Halsey recommending her for a consultation. Anders told the man that there's some mistake, saying she's not on speaking terms with "that women". After her refusal, a car pulled up and the man dragged her in, quickly speeding off. The men, later revealed to be ONI agents brought her to a disclosed location. Anders was furious and demanded to know why she was kidnapped. They showed her some classified images of the [[Covenant Empire|| Covenant]] on [[Harvest]] and information of intercepted communications, referring to the planet as a "Treasure World". This piqued Anders interest and agreed to help ONI in figuring out what the aliens wanted, saying they "Came to the right person". She was given unrestricted access to ONI's equipment for her to use in her research, which was now classified, as well as herself. She then traveled to [[Epsilon Indi System]] aboard the ONI [[UNSC Prowler|vessel]] {{UNSCShip|Last Gleaming}}, where she reviewed the data on the Covenant. While on board, she determined that while the Covenant were looking for something, but they were also trying to hide something as well. Later, she was moved aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.<ref>''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''</ref> | |||

Before departing [[Harvest]], Anders sent her father an analysis of Homer's ''Odyssey'' that slipped past [[ONI]] censors, informing him on what the [[UNSC]] had discovered.<ref>[http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profile-professor-anders-and-the-prophet-of-regret/?page=10 Sending a message across the universe].

===[[Arcadia]]=== | |||
Over the course of the ''Spirit of Fire'''s travels, Anders softened towards Forge, especially after noticing how much he cared for those around him.<ref name = "Grew"/> During the battle of Arcadia, Anders used [[plasma]]-firing [[Rhino]] tanks to blow through a shield dome, revealing a half-built [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform #Super Scarab|Scarab]] underneath. The UNSC Marine force on the surface destroyed the Scarab, but during an investigation of the site, Anders and Forge are attacked by the [[Ripa 'Moramee|Arbiter]]. When Forge was about to be killed, Anders gives herself up as a hostage to save the Seargent's life. Forge and [[Jerome-092]] persuaded Cutter to mount a rescue mission. | |||
===[[Shield World]]=== | |||
The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed Anders' signal to the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Flood-Controlled Shield World]]. Meanwhile, was inprisoned on top of the [[Apex]], where the Arbiter used her hand to activate the [[Forerunner]] ships. Anders used a [[Teleporter|teleportation pad]] to escape to the surface while the Elites were distracted by the majesty of the ships. Shortly after she teleported, a few [[Flood]] [[Infection Form]]s appeared. They were about to attack until Forge arrived just in time to save her. When the Pelican Forge was in got shot down, Anders and Forge head off to a nearby LZ where a Pelican arrives to pick her up and bring her to safety. | |||

Anders later devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire''s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering #Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], to destroy the ships before the Covenant could get their hands on them. Forge and the [[Red Team]] faced complications with the Elites and the former stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. After managing to escape the explosion of the sun, the ''Spirit of Fire'' made a long journey home. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she got them all out of there alive. As the pod closed, Anders reminded the Captain that not all of them survived before sleeping.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref> | Anders later devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire''s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering #Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], to destroy the ships before the Covenant could get their hands on them.
