Codename: AZRAEL

AZRAEL was the alias of an operative who participated in several highly classified operations following the . A master at black operations, AZRAEL was charged with carrying out some of FLEETCOM’s darkest and most ethically dubious operations. Operating from numerous black sties across the colonies, AZRAEL partook in Insurrectionist suppression operations, the detainment and interrogation of corrupt colonial assets, and, following the fiasco at Philadelphia, the capture or elimination of rogue Spartan assets. A ghost operative, AZRAEL’s name, rank, and true areas of responsibility were known only to the highest level of the UNSC’s military command. Though technically a part of ONI’s Internal Security Command (ISCOM) formed under ’s Legacy Initiative, AZRAEL operated primarily at his own discretion and was ONI’s most useful plausibly deniable asset.
Though AZRAEL primarily worked through co-opted military and civilian assets, he commanded a small task force of his own in order to carry out more sensitive or high-risk missions. Many of these "shadow force" operatives were drawn from the ranks of the Spartan II, III, and IV programs. Spartans considered too traumatized to continue in normal combat operations or integrate into civilian lifestyle were often transferred to AZRAEL’s unit. They, like him, officially ceased to exist and became brutal instruments to be wielded against the worst enemies of humanity.
