Bio: Early in his military career, Private Michael Browning was posted on an outer colony world, in the changing period between Insurrection and Covenant war. During the evacuation efforts, the transports, and by extension civilians, came under attack from Covenant forces. This was Browning's first true contact with the Covenant, and he was terrified. Fleeing the world with citizens and soldiers alike, he watched the sleek covenant vessels burn that world to glass. His meeting there shaped his future, even if he didn't quite realise it yet.

 The transports orders had been to jump around between various worlds, in accordance with remnants of the Cole Protocol, before heading for the more secured inner colonies. This led him to many ship to ship battles, giving him the necessary experience in his early UNSCDF career, at least against the likes of the Unggoy and Kig-Yar.

After months of travel through slip-space, and intense training on Browning's part, they finally made their way back to UEG space. Browning recieved a promotion to Lance Corporal, and immediately applied for the UNSC Special Operations Division. Rumors of his dedication to his task, and his intense training regime, reached the ears of the ODST command staff, leading to an invitation to their strict training and vetting process. Within a few years, Lance Corporal Browning would be jumping feet first with some of the best the UNSC had to offer.

Nearing the end of the Covenant War, Staff Sergeant Browning found himself in the sights of the Office of Naval Intelligence. After tentatively accepting their invitation, he was inducted into the SPARTAN-IV programme, finding deployment on the UNSC [i]Infinity[/i]. He has served there since, but seems to report more often to ONI than FLEETCOM. He still finds himself with a soft-spot to ODST's. It could be considered his greatest weakness.

Other: Rarely removes his helmet. ONI logo is painted on his armour.

//please PM me if you think something needs updating/changing. I've intentionally left a couple bits a little vague, just as I'm not sure how to detail/approach that yet. Hopefully this is okay
