Avery Johnson

Avery Junior Johnson was a high-ranking UNSC Marine and former member of Project ORION.

Service in the Insurrection
At the age of 19, Johnson enlisted in the Marine Corps, a year prior to the full outbreak of the Insurrection. Johnson would be made a candidate of the ORION program in 2501. During his ORION training, he would also enroll in the Naval Special Warfare Sniper School. The next year, he would deploy to Harvest in the Asgard Stratum where he would assassinate Jerald Ander with an M99 Stanchion rifle.

Service in the Human-Covenant war
Johnson would actually be on Harvest a second time at the outbreak of the Great War in 2525. While initially there as part of an official militia training mission, he and Office of Naval Intelligence agent Jilan al-Cygni would stumble upon the Covenant probing local Harvest space. As the situation escalated, the two would help evacuate the planet.

While enroute to Neos Atlantis for front redeployment, he would be intercepted and reassigned to Admiral Preston Cole's Third Fleet.
