==Biography==
Pua was born sometime around 2532 on the outer UNSC colony world, Sanoma. Around his seventh birthday in 2539, the Covenant invaded his homeworld, forcing his mother, a former UNSC Army officer named Teresa Maulalo, to hide him beneath their home with a neighbor before going off to fight alongside the UNSC forces. After a couple hours when a stray Needler round came through the basement window and struck the neighbor in the head, a scared Pua ran away to find his mother, the boy trekked to the nearby town Aopo and found his mother dead among numerous natives, UNSC personnel and Covenant. Distraught over his loss, the boy began wailing, eventually catching the attention of a Sangheili survivor; the Sangheili attempted to kill the child but was thwarted by a SPARTAN-II. Pua watched as the SPARTAN killed the religious fanatic with a combat knife and rescued him.
Later that year he was approached was approached with an offer to join the SPARTAN-III Program, which he eagerly accepted.
After training, Pua was pulled out Beta Company by Kurt-051 and Franklin Mendez shortly before Operation: TORPEDO in 2545, and assigned to a "non-combatant role" instead, but in reality he had been sent to Reach, a vanguard to UNSC military regime.
