| - Gregory Brenviz was a United Nations Space Command Marine Corps, and later Insurrectionist, officer. Born in 2520, Brenviz went on to attend the Academy at Mare Nubium, with an eye towards joining the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers after his graduation. With most cadets asking for slots aboard UNSC Navy ships within the Inner Colonies, Brenviz was granted his choice of branch. Enduring the hellish ODST training, Brenviz succeeded in graduating. After completion of his training, Brenviz was deployed to Mamore, much to his chagrin, not to fight the Covenant. Rather, Brenviz's job involved keeping the Kelorist extremists and other religious fanatics from killing each other and causing more chaos. Brenviz was relieved, when, only after a year on the colony, he was garrisoned aboard the UNSC Slavianka. He finally saw combat at the Battle of Alluvion, where he received a Bronze Star for bravery in combat against the Covenant. After seeing the horror of an uncensored war, Brenviz did everything he could to avoid combat with the Covenant, eventually leading him to Reach in 2551. In 2552, Brenviz was recruited by James Ackerson to aid in attempting to kill John-117 in the test of the new armor he had. The results were enough to turn Brenviz away from the UNSC. As Reach fell, Brenviz hijacked a freighter, and forced its captain to take him to Boundary. Joining the Boundary Republic, Brenviz became in charge of the First Brigade. After Boundary fell in 2559, Brenviz was interrogated, and eventually executed by the Office of Naval Intelligence as part of Operation: STEEL STEED.
