Quinn-A098

Commandant Quinn-A098, born Quinn Maria Binici, was a Spartan-III Commando of the United Nations Space Command's Naval Special Warfare Command. Pulled from Alpha Company as a Category-II Commando, she would serve as a member of Team Fox, before transferring to the cross-company Echo Team in 2547. She would serve as a loyal member of the UNSC until after the Battle of Reach, where she would lose both of her lower legs after a nearby plasma strike from a Covenant Wraith.
Due to her grevious wounds, Quinn would be discharged from active service, later becoming an instructor for the Spartan-IV Program. Over the next eight years Quinn's loyalty towards the UNSC soured due to a growing belief that the Spartan's, especially the Spartan-III's were mindless pawns who served the whims of faceless bureaucrats. A view which only grew stronger with the deployment of the Spartan-IV's, which the UNSC had forced her to train. In Late 2558, Quinn took advantage of the Created crisis and the collapse of the UNSC's command structure, to defect to the Banished who she had found common cause with as they acted in the name of their own free will. Using the station she had been assigned to as collateral to join the ranks of the Banished, Quinn would facilitate an attack on the facility, preemptively sabotaging any method of defence, before joining the attack using a stolen set of MJOLNIR armour.
Due to her actions during the raid, along with her extensive experience and knowledge of Spartan tactics and training, Quinn was formerly inducted into the Banished's Bloodstars and was placed in command of a detachment of the Banished known as 'The Demon Scourgers' to hunt down any Spartans they encountered. Now taking up arms against her former masters Quinn which would be personally responsible for the deaths of several Spartan-IV's, before her confrontation with her surviving comrades from Special Warfare Group Three, Brimstone Team.

===Defection===
During the early phases of the Created Crisis in late 2558, the Banished had emerged on to the galactic stage as a serious threat to the existing power structure. Quinn, seeing an opportunity to finally break free of her UNSC masters, made contact with the Banished in order to trade information and her assistance in return for induction into the Banished. The facility was considered to be a prime target by the Banished due to its stockpile of valuable military equipment and the ability to sever the UNSC's ability to replace the expected combat losses to their Spartan forces.
However, due to its vital importance, the facility heavily defended by a force of Spartan-IV personnel in addition to the number of Spartan recruits that were undergoing training there. Fortunately, from her position aboard the station and her decades of experience, Quinn would ensure that any defensive efforts would be rendered futile. First disabling the station's sensor systems that would have given the defenders time to man their posts, before sabotaging the station's weapons armoury to further limit any resistance that could be offered.
As the Banished began boarding the station, Quinn attacked her fellow training instructor Spartan Michelle Navarro, who had discovered Quinn's sabotage but not its perpetrator. Acting quickly, Quinn murdered Navarro before she could either raise the alarm, or equip her MJOLNIR armour. Donning Navarro's stolen armour, Quinn joined the main attack force in their rampage, killing any UNSC personnel that offered resistance to her or the Banished. To demonstrate her loyalty to the Banished, Quinn personally executed any Spartans that were taken alive during the attack, an act that earned her the respect of the Jiralhanae Bloodstar Alimentus, who had been sent to locate Quinn. At the conclusion of the massacre, Quinn was brought before the raids' leader who was none-other than Atriox, the leader of the Banished, who had come specifically to meet the renegade Spartan in person.
Impressed by her performance and aware of both the validity of Quinn's motivations and her usefulness, the now rogue Spartan was inducted into the Banished as a member of the Spartan killer group ‘The Bloodstars', and was elevated to the rank of Commandant as a senior member of the Banished. Due to her expertise, Quinn was given command of a detachment of Spartan killers known as 'The Demon Scourgers', with the task with hunting down and eliminating Spartans of all generations, including her fellow Spartan-III’s.
===Banished Service===
====Beta Hydri VI====
Quinn began her campaign against the UNSC in March 2559, where she led the Banished attack on the UNSC Garrison based on the planet of Beta Hydri VI. Leaving the Garrisons Marines to her infantry, Quinn focused her and her fellow Bloodstars attention on hunting down and eliminated the five Spartans of Fireteam Hurricane who were stationed on the planet. After letting the regular infantry under her command weaken the UNSC’s defences, Quinn struck on the third day of the battle, killing Spartan Hera Léandre in the midst of a general attack.
Shortly afterwards, she killed Spartan Natalie Macauley by luring the Spartan into an ambush organised by her fellow Bloodstars, spoofing Léandre’s bio signals as bait to draw the second Spartan to her death. The following day, Quinn found and assassinated Fireteam Leader Spartan Cameron Hepburn in a brutal fight to the death, leading to a rout amongst the remaining UNSC forces, who scattered into the planet's jungle. Most of these were subsequently hunted down and killed over the next two days, along with Spartan Grant MacNally.
Now alone against overwhelming odds and aware that he was being hunted by Quinn and the Bloodstars, Spartan Percy Colton gathered the few remaining UNSC forces on the planet to try to escape the fallen world. With the secondary goal of alerting the UNSC to both the colony's loss, and of the existence of a rogue Spartan that was in league with the Banished. However, these efforts were in vain as Quinn and the Bloodstars found and massacred the outnumbered force, with Quinn brutally executing the last Spartan by her own hands, and wiping out Fireteam Hurricane in its entirety.
