== Biography ==
===Early Career===
Originally a member of the United Nations Space Command Marine Corps, Eddie Salim was attached to the Savannah, a Paris-class heavy frigate in service of the Epsilon Eridani Defense Fleet. He was jokingly referred to as Eddie Hearn, a name taken from the Savannah's shipboard AI which derived its name from a 21st century individual of the same name.
During the Fall of Reach, Eddie was part of a team that was deployed from the Savannah to assist in the ongoing conflict on the ground, and was therefore not aboard the vessel when it met it's demise during Operation: UPPER CUT. He was later engaged in the city of Manassas, assisting with the ongoing evacuations when he was separated from his platoon when the Solemn Isolation and Periodic Desolation, two CPV-class Heavy Destroyers, laid waste to the city's spaceport following the conclusion of most of the evacuations. Now trapped inside a city that was rapidly filling with Covenant, he met up with the remaining UNSC forces in the city and worked with the Spartan-II Theo-783 and the ODST Victoria Theodorides to escape the city before the Covenant could commence glassing operations. As the Covenant began to glass large portions of Reach's surface shortly after their escape, the three met up with the UNSC Ivory Coast and were evacuated off-world, with Eddie Salim eventually returning to Earth. 
=== In Amber Clad ===
After his escape from Reach he was attached to the marine complement aboard the UNSC In Amber Clad, a Stalwart-class light frigate as part of Lima Company.
