Obi Minaya is a ghost trainee. A member of Team Red, he faced the rival Team Blue in a "live fire" training exercise. During the "battle", he ambushed Team Blue leader Gabriel Tosh, taking the opportunity to say he was sick of him as he beat him up. However, he was captured by Team Blue when a technopath used his ability on abandoned SCVs. Afterward, he was told the two rival teams would combine for a mission away from the Ghost Academy. Upon the anniversary of the Fall of Tarsonis, Teams Red and Blue were combined into Team Purple under the leadership of Gabriel Tosh.
