Rebeka Juhász

Rebeka Juhász, also known as Rebeka Bjarne, is an acclaimed archaeologist formerly employed by the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence. Renowned for her work on the planet Reach, where she personally managed the recovery of countless artifacts from the Human-Covenant War, she became a prominent figure during the Second Battle of New Alexandria after she was taken hostage by Insurrectionists. Her actions led to the discovery and disarming of a NOVA bomb which would have devastated the entire planet, and though she did not participate in armed combat, she is regarded as a hero all the same. She took her deceased stepfather's surname as a token of respect after he was killed in the conflict, and attained the position of curator at the Museum of Humanity in 2604. Her fascination with Spartans can be attributed to the stories passed on to her by her grandmother, Sára, who survived the Fall of Reach thanks to the intervention of NOBLE Team. Rebeka would ultimately come into possession of an ONI storage unit containing, among other items, Dr. Catherine Halsey's personal journal and a simulation of NOBLE Team's most significant actions during Reach's fall; her bestselling book Fields of Fire was based on these records, and though she clashed with certain elements of the Office of Naval Intelligence over sensitive data in her writings, her book became widely regarded as the most informative and innately human account of Spartans published to date.
