==Biography==
Serin was born to Pinar Çelik and an unknown father. Her mother was a drug addict and prostitute who left Serin homeless and to pick food from the garbage. The only person who cared for her was her teacher, Alkmini Leandro, who called the police after her disappearance. She was abducted by an ONI agent who offered her a hamburger. Osman was not replaced with a clone as ONI decided no one would notice. Osman failed the augmentation process and was recruited into ONI. Considered a "protege" to Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the Commander in Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence, she groomed the former Spartan for a potential future as her successor. She is known for her "in-your-face" way of answering people.
She was hand picked by Parangosky to lead a mission to Sanghelios after the war. The mission's facade is diplomatic in nature but in reality the team Kilo-Five are to aid both sides of Sanghelios' coming civil war, the intention being to keep both sides, lead by The Arbiter and religious fanatic Avu Med 'Telcam respectively, fighting for as long as possible, delaying Sangheili reconstruction. For the mission, she was paired with the AI Black Box. At first, she reacted to the eccentric AI with wariness and suspicion, but learned to trust him over time.Halo Waypoint — 343 Sparkast #5 Serin Osman and her crew had to respond to Venezia to help evacuate.
