Biography
Post-war investigation
During the investigation of the Master Chief, Benjamin Giraud was contacted by conspiracy theorist Mshak Moradi, who revealed that someone nicknamed "FERO" was about to get into contact with him.[4] "FERO" would later contact Benjamin Giraud, using voice distortion software to cloud her true identity. "FERO" began to tell Ben to establish the truth surrounding the Master Chief, and release it to the public, thus creating havoc and attention in the colonies. Yet to really hinder and usurp the Office of Naval Intelligence, a more delicate plan would need to be set up, to which "FERO" told Ben to set up a burn meeting in which the Unified Earth Government senators and high-ranking ONI officials would attend.[2] After John-117 apparently attacked a peace conference between the UEG and an alien species on Biko, FERO leaked the news onto human public networks and news sites. This caused many people to denounce the Master Chief, with much of the public feeling betrayed by John's apparent disloyalty. FERO intended to also reveal the Office of Naval Intelligence was responsible for abducting children for the SPARTAN-II program and for ultimately psychologically transforming the Master Chief into a traitor.[5]
When a meeting was scheduled between the UEG senate and ONI to discuss the Biko event, FERO intended to help Giraud reveal ONI's Spartan-II conscription methods before the UEG senators. She hoped that the senators would realize that they had been kept unaware of ONI's controversial acts, and thus heavily reprimand the intelligence agency.[5] When the meeting occurred, FERO patched Giraud into the congressional chamber's main display. Giraud informed the senators of ONI's atrocities and blamed the directors of ONI responsible for the acts just before his feed was cut off. Before ending their call, FERO told Giraud that he had ignited a revolution and that he was now under her protection.[3] The senators ultimately did not believe Giraud's claims. Several days later, FERO contacted Giraud to warn him that ONI operatives had found him and told him to leave his apartment. As Giraud attempted to escape, the agents tracked him down and attacked him. However, FERO arrived at the scene and killed the agents. As they escaped the area, FERO gave Giraud access to her movement's funds and safehouses. Believing ONI to be vulnerable, FERO and her organization were making preparations to attack the agency before it recovered. However, Giraud revealed that he had knowledge of a lead on Bliss that would help them in their case against ONI and he convinced FERO to hold off on her plans. On Bliss, Giraud found an abandoned ONI facility with an active communications server that documented all of ONI's acts.[1] Meanwhile, the UEG announced to the public that they had apparently discovered that FERO was an arms dealer that supplied Sapien Sunrise for their raid on the Biko embassy. When Giraud attempted to publicize his discovery on Barrier's ECB News, he was arrested by federal agents for treason against the UEG for working with FERO.[6]
