— Black-Box to Serin Osman as Earth comes under attack

Spartan Orzel is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier.

Biography

In October of 2558 Spartan Orzel was stationed at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 in Sydney, Australia on Earth. On the 28th of that month, Cortana and the Created moved to take over Earth and the entire Sol system. The artificial intelligence construct, Black-Box, received advanced warning of this attack and acted swiftly to ensure that at the very least, CINCONI Serin Osman and Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood would be able to get off-world. Acting under the shell personality of a "Commander Rossbach", Black-Box ordered Orzel to get to an ONI prowler waiting atop Bravo-6's HIGHCOM tower. He found an encrypted destination already keyed in and autopilot running. Per "Rossbach"'s orders, he proceeded to erase his Mjolnir armor and the prowler from all UEG and UNSC networks. When Hood and Osman emerged from an elevator atop the tower, he hustled them inside the ship and it took off into slipstream space as a battle broke out in the skies above the city between its defenses and a Guardian.

After a series of random slipspace jumps, the destination Black-Box had prepared was revealed to be an unnamed world only discovered around two years ago by an unmanned probe. After departing from the ship and settling in, Spartan Orzel took to patrolling the kilometers around the cabin they were staying at every night and again every day at noon.

Personality and traits

Like every Spartan-IV, Orzel was already an excellent soldier prior to being selected for the program. Serin was not sure why he felt the need to conduct patrols on Rossbach's World other than to perhaps give him something to do. Though he was unable to remove his armor on the planet due to a lack of necessary tools and equipment, he assured Osman that he was happy to stay in it for months at a stretch.

Trivia

"Orzel" is a Polish name that means "eagle".
