Biography

Flynn Hiram Conti (full name redacted from public records) was born on February 8, 2539 in the Inner Colony metropolis of Cyrene, Miridem. His mother was a manager in a local business while his father served as a Navy technician aboard the UNSC destroyer Strongly Worded Complaint. Growing up, Flynn always wanted to enlist in the Navy, and had an intense interest in spaceships -- which he expressed by memorizing just about every type of craft in UNSC service, building scale models of ships (including one of the destroyer his father served on), and playing related video games, his favorite being Admiral Cole's Fleet Strategy.

His father was killed in a fleet action only seven weeks before the Covenant invaded Miridem in 2544. The swift and savage attack on his homeworld left Flynn as the only survivor of his family, with his mother, grandparents, older brother and younger sister being killed during the invasion. Flynn was only saved by his being aboard one of the colony's space elevators for a preschool field trip at the time; after the Covenant arrived in-system, Flynn's group were promptly evacuated by a passenger liner swiftly appropriated for the evacuation effort by military emergency protocols. Consequently he never saw the Covenant in person, nor the worst of their atrocities. Flynn spent the following months in a refugee camp on Harmony. There, he was eventually paid a visit by a Navy officer who offered him the chance to take vengeance on the Covenant. Eager to avenge his family and homeworld in spite of not fully comprehending what such a thing entailed, he accepted the offer and was shipped off to Onyx's Camp Currahee for training.

Assigned to Gamma Company's Fireteam Dagger, Flynn never had any particular difficulty integrating into the program or getting along with the other trainees. However, he always preferred to avoid drawing any extra attention to himself, and never stood out among the other Spartans for better or for worse. His most prominent talents landed him the job of his team's scout and designated marksman. After their training, Flynn and the rest of Fireteam Dagger were deployed against the Covenant in the later half of 2552. Team Dagger was almost entirely wiped out during these operations, with two members KIA, one placed under intensive medical care for the immediate future, and one too seriously injured to continue active duty.

Flynn can be generally characterized as thoughtful, introspective and reserved, and his test scores show above-average creativity and problem-solving skills. However, his superiors suspect he is held back by his insecurity and overstated self-consciousness, issues that appear to have exacerbated following the loss of his team. He is fast and agile, and prefers to engage targets at a distance, being most frequently deployed in sharpshooter-oriented roles.
