Biography

Gorian was among the many Banished soldiers on Installation 07 following the ambush on UNSC Infinity in December, 2559. During the Battle for Zeta Halo, an explosion at the Silent Auditorium fractured the ring. Gorian was surveying a chokepoint with a Jiralhanae Captain when they picked up the scent of Spartan Tomas Horvath.[3][4]

Gorian and his Phantom crashed on a fragment of the ring, where he was rescued by the Horvath.[5] The two formed a truce until they could escape the fragment.[6]

Following his escape, Gorian and Jega 'Rdomnai captured and tortured ONI operative Kate Stalling for months for information and stole her research. Gorian eventually abandoned Stalling to die and headed for one of the Conspectus network hubs. By the time that Horvath found Stalling, she was in terrible state from the torture, but she was able to tell him of Gorian's actions and where he had gone before committing suicide in order to end her suffering. Enraged, Horvath became determined to hunt down and kill Gorian.[7]

During a later battle, Horvath and Gorian faced off against each other, ending with Horvath impaling the Bloodstar on an energy sword provided to him earlier by Erik Bender. Gorian was killed, but as the two fighters had fallen upon a translocation pad, they were teleported to another part of the ring just before the pad was destroyed by Banished fire.[8] Teleported to a partially collapsed mountain facility very far away from the beacon tower, Horvath shoved Gorian's body off the side of the mountain.[9]
