In their recent issue of Canon Fodder, they've gone back and given a bit of backstory to various notable enemies in the Halo games. During the section covering the Brute Chieftain who wounded Romeo during the events of Halo 3: ODST (now known as Bracktanus), a UNSC sniper was named after our beloved leader.
BRACKTANUS
Encounter: NMPD HQ (Halo 3: ODST)
After Alpha-Nine survived multiple waves of Phantoms and Banshees on the rooftops of New Mombasa’s skyscrapers, a Jiralhanae chieftain entered the fray and severely injured Kojo “Romeo” Agu with his gravity hammer.
Bracktanus became known to the UNSC after a conversation between two Unggoy was recorded by Corporal C. Errera, who served as a sniper spotter during the fall of Reach. The Unggoy discussed the ever-growing feud between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae, noting the favor that the Prophets were showing to the latest addition to the Covenant as they climbed ranks with unprecedented speed. Bracktanus, then a captain, notably killed a Sangheili in cold blood on the hallowed ground of a Forerunner shrine, but received no punishment for the heretical act.
Bracktanus soon rose to the rank of chieftain and served as a key player in the Prophet of Truth’s schemes, enacting secret orders to eliminate the Sangheili left on Earth after the abrupt departure of the Solemn Penance.
Scouring the city of New Mombasa for any holdouts of their Sangheili rivals, and crushing any human resistance his pack came across, Bracktanus would meet his end at the hands of several ODSTs of Alpha-Nine—Edward Buck, Taylor Miles, and Michael Crespo.
Congrats to Wu on once again playing a small part in Halo.
