## Biography

**Before G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N.**

Unlike most other Quarians, Ausanan wasn't born aboard one of the Flotilla's ships. Because his parents were both travelling together on their pilgrimages and they had decided to visit the homeworld of the galaxies newest species the humans. As they thought there might be a chance of finding something there no other Quarian could find to bring back to the fleet. But their ship was damaged upon landing in the Human country of Australia and had to work to earn enough credits to repair the ship. They couldn't call for help as they believed that if they did, it could be seen as them being incompetent by the Fleet because ships in the Fleet need repairing constantly. And since the Alliance was still in its infancy, they couldn't spare any ships for Ausanan's parents as they needed every one of their ships at their disposal. And because Humans were trying to get along with other species in the aftermath of the first contact war, the Alliance repurposed a sterilised ward in the Alliance’s military hospitals isolation ward for his mother to give birth and for him to stay in, as there was not enough time to build a clean room from scratch.

Since the ship needed repairing and most humans were still wary of aliens, they were kept on an Alliance base. In return for credits for the repairing of their own ship, Ausanan' parents were contracted by the Alliance to help build more ships while their free time was spent repairing their own ship. This contract was to last 9 years. Even once the ship was repaired, his parents were to remain and help the Alliance build ships until the 9 year contract was over. And since quarians can only eat dextro-based foods, dextro food was brought into the base at the cost of a reduction in their pay, which is a reason why it took longer to repair the ship than they anticipated, as doing this wasn't cheap. And In that time Ausanan was born then placed into a bubble made by the Alliance, as a sign of cooperation and had to grow up for the first 9 years of his life on Earth.

Growing up, the Alliance hired a teacher to teach Ausanan the English language as well as teach him about Human culture, when his parents weren’t around to teach him about Quarian culture as well as the Quarian language. Because of this Ausanan had acquired an Australian accent and grew up with knowledge of both quarian and human culture. Because of this Ausanan was taken back to the fleet by his parents as their gift to the Neema. Believing he would be a great asset to the fleet should the fleet come into contact with the Humans due to growing up with them and having first hand experience of the Human culture.

After arriving on the migrant fleet, he was taught about mechanics like all quarians. But due to growing up for 9 years without being taught about mechanics, he is not as skilled in mechanics as most quarians. Due to his notably human accent as well as living on Earth for 9 years, he was bullied by some of the other quarians. Due to this he became known as a bit of a loner and became quite proficient at handling many tasks by himself. Ausanan looked up to the Admiral of the Heavy Fleet, having spent the first 9 years of his life living on a military base. He knew he wanted to become a soldier and represent his people and their military. And so he then spent the next 7 years physically training and preparing to become a soldier in the quarian military once he was old enough to enlist and had completed his pilgrimage. He was then sent on his pilgrimage at 16, a few years earlier than normal due to supplies getting low.

He made his way to Noveria, knowing the corporations there have lots of secret projects in development that could prove useful to the fleet. While there, Ausanan came across a Spectre that asked him to help get into one corporations database for proof of illegal research.Ausanan assisted the Spectre by hacking into a corporations database to get information the spectre needed with an advanced Omni-Tool the Spectre had lent him for the job. Then once all of the information had been downloaded, Ausanan and the Spectre made their way to the docks and booked passage off the Noveria in different ships, parting ways. Mercenary reinforcements that were hired to protect the data shortly before the shuttles left, with the Spectre taking out the bulk of the mercenaries, Ausanan taking out a 2 with his basic M-3 Predator.

As a thank you for Ausanan's assistance the Spectre rewarded him with his assistance with the designs to the new armour piercing mod that could be taken back to the fleet. Ausanan then returned to the fleet, to his new ship of choice, the Nalotir. Presenting the design as his pilgrimage gift. This new mod caught the eye of the Admiral of the Heavy Fleet, knowing how valuable the mod would be. However due to the limitation of resources on board the fleet, creating this mod was limited to only the most elite marine units. Ausanan, then enlisted in the Migrant Fleet Marines where he did well in group training exercises, but exceeded particularly in solo exercises. After the uprisings and riots due to the Turian councillors decision to cure the genophage a year after Ausanan's return, the Quarian admiralty feared for the safety of the Migrant Fleet and so they decided to send Ausanan to join the G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N program. Due to his proficiency in both group and independent operations, as well as his extensive experience with other species compared to most other Quarians. However, the admiralty board had some reservations about sending Ausanan. As he had little combat experience as well as his age compared to many of the other Quarian marines.

His only real combat experience being when he helped that Spectre back on Noveria. After being sent to Asgard Station for training, Ausanan met his new commander and instructor. He was a hard ass to be sure, but that's what both commanding officers and instructors are meant to be. So someone who was both, would have to be. But Major Cassius did what he had to do to weed out those who weren't up to the task of joining G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N. And this turned out to be invaluable to Ausanan. So much so that he felt the need to thank his instructor for his work.

Ausanan also met a wide variety of recruits during his time at Asgard, some of which he liked. And others he didn't. So once Ausanan had passed the first class of G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N recruitment. He knew that his life, had only just begun. **With G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N.**

Aus was assigned to the CSV Muramasa. He was included in the team sent to escort Missandre L'Oren back to her home of Nevos and ensure that it was free of Taetran Insurrectionists. While it was free of the insurrectionists, another foe had taken hold of the planet and forced the GUARDIAN operatives to retreat after killing Missandre. Ausanan was a part of the ground team sent to investigate the disappearance of a Jormangund Technologies team on the planet Eingana. He escaped with his team after being separated from them early in the mission.

**Aftermath**

After the curing of the Genophage, the fall of the Dominion and the fall of the Insurrection. Ausanan stayed with the CSV Muramasa as he awaited his next orders form the Admiralty Board. To his surprise, the Migrant Fleet and the quarian people had sided with the newly founded Terminus Confederacy which had openly declared war on the Citadel. The Admiralty Board then ordered Ausanan to return and re-join the Migrant Fleet Marines in preparation for the war against the Citadel. However, he refused. believing that the Terminus Confederacy were nothing more than a terrorist group, no better than the Insurrection or Dominion. Hoping that the fleet will eventually realise their mistake and join the Citadel. But in the meantime, because he chose to side with the Citadel, Ausanan has been exiled from the fleet, which has legally changed his name from Ausanan'Lynch vas Nalotir, to Ausanan'Lynch vas Muramasa.

**Post Muramasa Destruction**

After the destruction of Haven and narrowly escaping the destruction of the Muramasa, Ausanan was assigned to the new Guardian vessel, the Providence, which once again changed his legal name from Ausanan’lynch vas Muramasa, to Ausanan’lynch vas Providence. Not long after being assigned to the new ship, Ausanan was ordered to make his way to the Osiris for debriefing with a newly appointed officer within Guardian. While enroute to the Osiris’ location, Ausanan’s vessel was ambushed by pirates. Being on a passenger ship as the shuttles were in repair, Ausanan believed the pirates must’ve thought it would be easier to capture slaves if they ejected out of the escape pods. Rather than have to search a ship for hiding passengers. While he had some firepower, the passenger ship wasn't built for combat, so he knew that he could not win the fight.

All his communications had been blocked by the pirates. Whoever they were, they clearly knew what they were doing. After some evasive maneuvers, Ausanan knew the ship was lost. He knew the Mass Relay was too far away to make it. He knew his only choice was to set the ships autopilot mode on a direct course for the pirates ship. With no other choice, Ausanan set the autopilot and made his way to the escape pod. As he made his way, the ship started to explode, fire everywhere, he knew it was now or never. Making it to the escape pod just in time, Ausanan hit the launch button.

As he did, the escape pod was hit with debris. Ausanan was knocked back, with a large rupture along his chest and a cracked visor. He knew his only chance was to set a distress beacon. Doing so, he slapped some medi-gel along his suit rupture and his cracked visor. Hoping the seal would at least reduce the exposure he had already suffered. Out the view port, Ausanan could see the explosion from the impact of his ship and the pirate ship crashing together. With a bit of a smile on his face, Ausanan slowly began to lose consciousness from the blood loss of his injuries and the escape pod slowly losing pressure. As he started to lose consciousness, light began shining along the pods viewport. This was the last Ausanan would be seen any any member of Guardian for the next 3 years… **Inost’s Stronghold.**

Ausanan discovered upon awakening, that he had a pounding headache, his chest felt like it had been torn open and he felt like death. He knew was clearly down with a life threatening infection and severely injured. But he was alive, for now. As he regained consciousness he was able to start taking in his surroundings. His suit had been fully repaired. There was a large screen in front of him, a table and tray with a whole bunch of tools laid out… the room was dark.

With small flashing lights all along the ceiling. With a large light above his head. That’s when he noticed, all the tools, the screen, were behind bars... A Salarian then came into the room on the other side of the bars and introduced himself as Inost. He claimed that he had a fascination with Guardian and pulled up a file. It was a dossier on Ausanan. His height, weight, his background, where he grew up, his parents, when he joined Guardian it had everything. Inost explained that G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N was the key to him being able to take over the Council and eventually the galaxy. And now that Ausanan was in his ‘care’ and he now owed him for saving his life. Ausanan would help him, one way or another.

Inost knew that Ausanan had been with Guardian since the very first class. So he believed that Ausanan would have knowledge of other Guardian members that he didn’t have. Knowledge of Guardian operations and other information Inost could use, to infiltrate Guardian as a recruit and sabotage his way into power. Over the course of the next 3 years, Ausanan was interrogated, then given time to heal, just to be interrogated again. He had his suit damaged to bring on an infection, but one that was survivable. Inost was careful to interrogate Ausanan just the right amount.

Enough for him to be in enough pain, but not enough for him to go insane or be permanently disabled. To give him false hope of being released once he talked. As he would have been of no use to Inost if he did go insane. When G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N was disbanded, Inost did not tell Ausanan, as former Guardian operatives were still highly regarded by the Council. And Ausanan’s knowledge of the other operatives could still be valuable. However when the Council Recovery Corps was established, and many former Guardian operatives were joining. Inost knew that this would be perfect for his plans.

Believing that the CRC was just as viable of an option. As they still answered directly to the Council. Thus he could still use them to get close to power and stage a coup. At this stage Ausanan could’ve been disposed of, but Inost knew that many former Guardian members were now apart of the CRC, so Ausanan was still of use. Not once did Ausanan give in to Inosts demands, he refused to tell the Salarian anything. At times, Inost would get so fed up, he would bring his Krogan bodyguard into the room and would leave Ausanan alone with him for hours on end. All this time, Ausanan was not kept up to date on galactic events. The Reaper War came and went all without his knowledge.

In fact, the Reaper War was good for Inost, as the galaxy and the Council were in a fragile state. Theoretically making a coup easier. Ausanan was not aware of the passing of time, eventually, 3 years would pass. Without Ausanan having any knowledge of the date or time. Until one day. After another session with Inost’s bodyguard and Ausanan had some time to recover, he noticed one of the bars that kept him caged in had come loose.

While Ausanan had given up all hope of a rescue and doomed to this interrogation for the rest of his life, this one loose bar gave him renewed hope. There was no one in the room, so he started to yank and pull on the bar even more. It worked slowly but surely. After a few minutes, the bar had come right out and created a gap large enough to fit through, Ausanan was free. He quickly squeezed through the gap, Ausanan was finally walking the other side of the cage for the first time in 3 years.

Making his way over to the screen and the terminal that it was hooked up to, Ausanan managed to access a live feed of the entire complex he had been kept in. just outside the door was a Batarian guard. Looking through the feed Ausanan mapped his way out to the shuttle bay and saw a docked ship. Knowing that was his only chance, Ausanan gathered his strength and prepared to move. Normally after being locked in a cell for 3 years anyone would lose most of their strength. And while Ausanan was weaker, his determination and the pure adrenaline running through his body gave him his strength. After making it past the guards, by simply watching and waiting for them to have their backs turned, Ausanan noticed an armory.

Knowing a weapon would give him a better chance of escaping, he took the chance and entered the room, not knowing if anyone would be inside. Luckily there was no none inside. And he was not ready for what he was about to see. A whole row of rare weapons. While Ausanan would have liked to have taken everything, he knew he didn’t have the strength or thespace to do so. Knowing he could only take one, he took the M-76 Revenant, a spare thermal clip and a simple knife. Making his way past more guards, Ausanan made it to the shuttle bay. Sealing the doors to the bay behind him. Making his way towards the ship, he walked up the ramp and a voice could be heard coming from up the ramp inside the ship. It was Inost…

Ausanan entered the shuttle, he saw the Salarian standing at the end of the corridor. As soon as the two made eye contact, the grin on the Salarians face was obvious. Ausanan, overcome with primal rage, starred at Inost As he noticed the Salarian was wielding an M-6 Carnifex. Jumping behind around the corner of the corridor, Inost was laughing hysterically continuing to shoot as he walked towards Ausanan as he tried to load the thermal clip he took from the armoury, but to his dismay the thermal clip was faulty. with no thermal clips and just a knife Halfway towards Ausanan Inost ran out of thermal clips too, activating his Omni-Blade.

Ausanan heard the blade activate, knowing he had no other options, he emerged from behind the corner and faced the Salarian knowing he had to engage hand to hand but knew he was in a weak state. Inost slashed with his Omni-Blade, leaving Ausanan with only one option. He held the rifle up to block the slash, which blocked it but also cut the rifle in half.

Now armed with two halves of a rifle and just a knife, Ausanan threw one half of the rifle at the Salarians head. As it hit him, the weight of the rifle against the smaller head of a Salarian knocked him back dazed. Using this opportunity, Ausanan closed the distance and used the knife to stab Inost in the throat multiple times for good measure. Causing him to get sprayed with bits green Salarian blood. Once calmed down. Ausanan knew he had to leave before the guards knew he and Inost were missing.

Picking up the rifle and leaving the body where it was on the floor of the ship and ran into the cockpit. Ausanan still had no idea how much time had passed. With nowhere else to go, he punched in the last known coordinates of the Providence and took off just before the guards noticed anyone was missing. Setting up another beacon as soon as he was near the coordinates, his adrenaline and strength began to wear off. Collapsing to the ground, he knew that he had no idea what had happened while he was gone or even how long he had been gone for. But he knew at least that the nightmare was over...
