Biography
Human-Covenant war
Kodiak enlisted in the UNSC in 2535[1] and participated in various battles over the course of the Human-Covenant war. During a battle in the 2540's, Kodiak was engaged by a Sangheili named N'tho 'Sraom, after cutting his arm off with his energy sword, N'tho would have killed Kodiak were it not for the nearby explosion which caught the Elite off guard, giving Kodiak a chance to escape.[2]
Post-war
Shortly after the end of the war, Kodiak enlisted in the Spartan branch and became a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier.[1]
Mission to Installation 00
In March 2555, a countdown to the activation of the Halo Array was discovered on Installation 07. ONI made the decision to repair the portal generator at Voi and send a joint UNSC-Swords of Sanghelios task force through the portal to reach Installation 00 and attempt to prevent the activation of the array.[3] Kodiak was chosen as head of security for Captain Annabelle Richards who would be participating in the mission.[1] When the Sangheili arrived at Earth aboard the corvette Mayhem, Kodiak was there with Richards to meet them. The Sangheili identified themselves as Usze 'Taham and N'tho 'Sraom-the same Sangheili who had cut off Kodiak's arm. They had a Huragok called Drifts Randomly with them who would repair the portal generator.[4]
Two days into repairs Kodiak approached N'tho, who was practicing with his energy sword. Kodiak asked him if they could practice together, to which N'tho agreed. Kodiak activated his energy sword which he obtained from a Sangheili he killed during the war, and started to use it against N'tho. N'tho soon caught on that Kodiak was trying to kill him and asked him why, Kodiak then pulled off the right gauntlet of his MJOLNIR armor, revealing an artificial arm. However, Kodiak told N'tho he would not kill him as it would be defying the mission.[5] A few seconds later, Drifts Randomly activated the portal, causing a violent earthquake that caused a tree to pin N'tho down. Kodiak decided to spare N'tho's life and cut the tree with his sword, freeing him.[6] The pair realized a Forerunner Retriever Sentinel had emerged from the portal and had began excavating the ground around the portal but after a brief engagement by UNSC Endeavor it was soon destroyed.[7] Shortly after, a meeting was held aboard Mayhem, as per N'tho's request, to discuss the next course of action. N'tho suggested they enter the portal immediately but Richards insisted they wait for consent by her superiors. Not wanting to waste time, N'tho ordered his crew to enter the portal,[8] prompting Kodiak to point his gun at N'tho and threaten to kill him if he did not land the vessel, but Drifts Randomly quickly took the pistol from him and threw it to Usze.[9] The ship approached the portal but before it could enter another Retriever appeared, Mayhem quickly took care of the construct and entered the portal.[10]

Personality and traits
Kodiak is said to be exceptionally discreet and only speaks when spoken to.[1] He has a great disdain and mistrust for the Sangheili, for their merciless genocide of Humans and the loss of his right arm during the Covenant war. However, after the mission to Installation 00, he came to forgive N'tho for severing his arm.
