==Biography==
===Early life and military career===
Kiska was born on February 12, 2520 on Minister to Mishka Adjuk, a descendant of natives of Alaska, and Mickael Adjuk, a descendant of both Alaskan natives and eastern European. His family remained on Minister, until his father, a UNSC marine colonel was stationed elsewhere on a remote space colony called Orbital. Not long after, Orbital was attacked by Covenant scouts during their accidental discovery of the colony. Kiska and his father would both survive, however they became separated. Kiska was eventually discovered by an ONI agent and chosen for the SPARTAN-III program.
In 2550, Kiska was stationed on the UNSC Hilbert, a science vessel commanded by Miranda Keyes, the daughter of Doctor Halsey. Hasley wanted her daughter protected, so she sent a Spartan to look out for her. Sometime into its voyage, the ship was involved in the Battle of Gamma Pavonis VII. Having no weapons capable of breaching a Covenant energy shield, Keyes ordered that the Hilbert ram into the enemy vessel, which resulted in its shields being damaged, and allowing the Hilbert to continue onwards and crash into the vessel, proper. As the crew attempted to abandon ship, which was now falling into Gamma Pavonis VII's gravity well, the Hilbert's fusion core went critical. Only two of the crew survived, Miranda and Kiska, who had gotten Miranda off the ship, following his orders to protect her.
After the battle, the two formed a friendship, with both being stationed to the In Amber Clad, her as commander and him as security chief.
==Battle of Earth==
At the start of the Battle of Earth, the In Amber Clad was docked at Cairo Station, so that Miranda Keyes could receive her father's honors. During the awards ceremony, the station was attacked and boarded. Miranda fought her way to her ship and took command. As the Covenant armada began the invasion of Earth, she took In Amber Clad down to New Mombasa, where she dispatched multiple Pelican dropships with Marines to join the massive battle with the Covenant in progress there, Kiska included.
Kiska was deployed with a squad of marines to secure a Covenant artillery station on the outskirts of the city. Most of the marines were killed, however the remnants of the squad met up with ODSTs that had been deployed, the leader of which was Kazimir Tchakova, and finished securing the artillery station. Kiska was then redeployed with his team to destroy a Scarab inside of the city proper. He and his team encountered a large enemy force, including two escort Wraiths, along with the Scarab, all but Kiska and a marine sergeant, John Omar survived, however they were able to destroy the Scarab and Wraiths.
After destroying their targets, Kiska watched as the In Amber Clad pursued the Prophet of Regret, unknowingly taking out part of the city with them. Kiska would then help with the relief effort, assisting the medevac of wounded ODSTs, marines and sailors.
==Assigned to the Enterprise==
After the Battle of Earth, Kiska was reassigned to the command of Rear Admiral Edward Dale, the commanding officer aboard the UNSC Enterprise. The Enterprise was a new, giant, state-of-the-art supercarrier of the Yorktown-Class. Kiska was made Second Officer of the supercarrier, and First Officer in the absence of either the First Officer (Executive Officer) or the Commanding Officer.
Kiska was placed in charge of security aboard the Enterprise and began training ODSTs and marines alongside the commander of Enterprise's marines, Sergeant John Omar.
==Invasion of Exodus==
