=== Early Life ===
Bardo J. Wick was born on the Outer Colony of Bounty in 2534. They'd be some of the few who managed to escape the world when it was glassed in 2548 by the Covenant. They'd settle as refugees on Tribute. The oldest of five siblings, he often aided in looking after them while their parents resettled into their lives on their new home. Wick would eventually enlist in the UNSC Marine Corp when he turned 16, hoping to join in the fighting to prevent his new home from suffering the same fate as his old one. 
Shipped off to the planet Reach for basic training, he would excel at communications and electronics, as well as becoming an adept driver. As the final weeks of basic came to a close, Wick would find himself suddenly thrust into the forefront of the war, as the Reach was invaded by the Covenant.
