==Biography==
Omar al-Karbalaei was born in the year 2537 and was orphaned at a young age when the invaded his homeworld. Omar was then conscripted as part of the of the . Omar proved to be more skilled in combat than most of his fellow SPARTAN-IIIs were, and after completing a series of specially-assigned missions, he was inducted into the .
===Operation: SNAKE HEAD===
Omar-G056's superiors partnered him with April-G182, a fellow Headhunter, and sent the partnership to . On November 19, 2552, the Headhunters arrived at , in order to prevent the Covenant from destroying the city, lest the UNSC lose , their most important structure. ONI had discovered that the local Covenant forces were led by a named Drusus, but have only been able to devastate the city as a result of the chieftain’s leadership. Killing Drusus would enable the UNSC to drive off the Covenant infantry, thus preventing complete destruction of the capital. ONI was able to locate the building where Drusus was giving his commands from, and sent the two Headhunters to assassinate the chieftain.
Omar and April each brought an and took up separate positions to snipe the Covenant forces that were on the path between themselves and the building. Once both Spartans ran out of , they discarded their anti-materiel rifles and proceeded into the structure. The Headhunters made effective use of their , maintaining their stealth as they advanced through the building. Many of the were asleep, and so the Spartans specifically targeted the brutes and that patrolled doorways, eliminating them in the most silent ways possible. Both Omar and April agreed that should one of them be revealed, the other should continue to stick to the shadows and not aid his/her partner in order to complete the mission.
With many of his forces having mysteriously disappeared, Drusus began to suspect that something was wrong and was on full alert. Carefully monitoring his surroundings and having already prepared for the likely avenues of attack, the Chieftain spotted the shimmer of Omar's active camouflage and threw a at the Headhunter's direction, forcing him to evade and reveal his presence. Drusus’s immediately went after Omar, who succeeded in killing most his attackers in self-defense. April, having made the agreement with Omar, used the distracted brutes to get closer to the chieftain.
When his bodyguards proved to be unable to take out their enemy, Drusus personally lunged at the Headhunter. Overwhelmed, Omar found himself in the clutches of the chieftain. Before Drusus could land the finishing blow, however, the Headhunter activated a he had collected from a previous fallen foe. The ensuing explosion drained Drusus’ and knocked off his helmet while vaporizing all other nearby brutes as well as Omar himself.
===Legacy===
Omar-G056's decision provided April-G182 with a window to strike. Immediately after the plasma grenade detonation, Omar's partner jumped onto the chieftain’s back, climbed up to his shoulders, and then impaled the top of his skull with her . After accomplishing her mission, April retrieved the Chieftain's , a heavily-modified , and proceeded to vengefully slaughter most of the remaining Covenant forces still stationed in the building; having assassinated almost all of the brutes beforehand, she mostly only had grunts and jackals left to kill, allowing for her successful yet violent escape. With Drusus dead and the at , the local Covenant forces had lost their cohesion. All remaining UNSC forces in Sydney were then able to finish off the disorganized Covenant, thus saving the capital from destruction. Omar-G056's sacrifice posthumously awarded him a and a , and like all Spartans who die, he was , although his very existence would only be known to high-ranking officials. Unbeknownst to anyone but herself, April-G182 holds a degree of survivor's guilt over Omar's death.
