Bruno-A141

Lieutenant Bruno-A141, born Bruno Trumbauer-Sipos, was the second and final company commander of SPARTAN-III Alpha Company.

Biography
Born to a comfortable middle-class family, Bruno was only two years old when the Covenant invaded New Tharsis and laid siege to his home city. Although they were eventually defeated, the trauma of a long, bloody siege that took the lives of both of his parents, as well as the rescuers who nursed him during the battle, left deep psychological scars in the boy, and a lasting intense hatred for the Covenant and everything they stood for.

Evacuated to Falkirk, Bruno went through a number of foster families who all struggled to curb his anger and sadistic issues, and as a result he had been shuffled around to numerous orphanages. Even here, he was a difficult resident because he already had an ability to control the other children into breaking the rules and doing what he wants. This, coupled with his regular high-scoring intelligence tests, eventually saw ONI agents from the Beta-5 Division assess and later offer him to join the SPARTAN-III Program, an offer that he eagerly accepted without encouragement.
