== Early Years ==
Arthur Renners was born on the colony world, New California to a stable family. Though his time growing up, Renners was inspired by his uncle, Richard whom had served with the UNSC for years until his honorable discharge due to a leg injury. Following the outbreak of the Covenant War, Arthur enlisted with the UNSC to follow in his uncle's footsteps.

Renners was set aboard the UNSC Tribunal and acted as a bridge lieutenant who focused on navigation. 
=== Battle of Surka ===
Renners and the Tribunal crew were deployed to the colony world of Surka. Renners was ordered to navigate the ship to the main UNSC orbital platform. While moving through, the ship comes under attack by the Covenant. The ship moves towards the invading Covenant army and opened fire. 
After the battle begun, Renners moved the ship to the port side of an inbound Covenant cruiser and opened fire. Upon passing through, Renners turned the ship around and began to chase the cruiser through orbit. After chasing the ship into the atmosphere, MAC cannons fired at the cruiser and destroyed its shields as the Tribunal opened fire and destroyed the ship's engines, forcing it to crash. 
Moving back to orbit, the ship came under attack again by another Covenant fleet. However, the Tribunal had reinforcements in the form of another UNSC fleet. While the battle in space erupted, the Tribunal ran supply runs to the surface. Some supply runs were piloted by Renners himself due to a lack of pilots. 
After sometime, the naval blockade set up by the UNSC began to falter and soon, a large explosion went off by the main defense platform. Scans showed a Covenant bomb was inside. When another was found near the Tribunal, Renners volunteered himself to disarm it. Running through the Covenant occupied part of space, Renners arrived at the bomb's site in an astroid field. 
Attaching the bomb onto the bottom of his pelican, Renners gunned it straight forward to a Covenant capital ship. Getting a Longsword escort, Renners was able to take the bomb straight to the capital ship and released it. The bomb exploded on impact and was able to completely destroy the carrier. After the bombing, Renners returned to the Tribunal for a debriefing. 
==== Relief Mission to Valus ====
After the bombing run, Renners was assigned to bring relief aid to the city of Valus. The city suffered heavy attacks from Covenant forces and the civilian populous was turned into a human shield by the Brutes. Renners landed his pelican with his squamate, Jenkins and the two along with a squad of marines began unloading and delivering supplies. 
After around 2 hours of relief missions, the city once again came under attack and Jenkins was killed. Renners rounded up the remaining marines and decided to return to orbit. However, the pelican was shot down and landed two klicks away from Valus. 
After crashing, the survivors moved back to the city to pickup a transport. As they were moving, several Covenant patrols flew over and into the city. The Covenant bombed more of the city and destroyed several UNSC installations. Luckily, a phantom was shot down nearby and the group killed the survivors and hijacked the phantom. The group returned to the Tribunal and due to an order by Lord Hood, pulled out off the planet.

Hijacking a pelican, the parasite landed on Argent Crest and began to infest it. Using another pelican on the damaged ship, Sophia needed back to the Argent Crest. Once on board, the spartan found the ship's AI, Vetter and together combatted the flood. After fighting the flood on every front, the spartan and AI decided to instead blow the ship up to kill the flood and its food source. 
Locating the fusion engines, the pair made their way the engineering room and destroyed the engines and activated a slip space jump to a near by star incase of a reactor failure.
