## Role in Plot

### COLORADO SQUAD and the "INSURRECTIONIST" MISSION

He was Top of his class and clambering for a position at the officer academy, until he was ripped away and placed in Colorado Squad's Lead position at Saint Gavino's Bootcamp for the strategically impaired. For a time, he continued being the Leader of Colorado Squad, but due to a drastic failure in their final exam, he and his squad were moved to Outpost Sidewinder, becoming members of Red Team, fighting against the "Insurrectionist". Stevens was unsure about the whole thing, but decided to follow orders. Most of this Told in Prologue.

### OUTPOST SIDEWINDER: 09

Stevens, Peterson, Jerry, and Jones arrive to Sidewinder Outpost: 09, ordered to meet with their CO, once they landed. They were unaware that the Sidewinder Blue Team was spying on them from a far (Well, what's left of Blue Team, that is). Stevens wonders where the CO may be at. In the Moment, Private Benny fires several sniper rounds at them, trying to assassinate the leader (Who's identity he could not determine among the reds). Stevens and his fellow troopers run to cover. They duck out of the way and hide behind a crashed pelican, which was seen destroyed by a missile just moments before they arrived. Stevens wonders why they were dropped off so close to the enemy, Jones replied to his question, which also happened to be technically right.

Blue Team comes to a decision to tell the reds that Benny's poorly placed shots were merely warning shots and to tell them to get off their turf. Stevens grows ever curious, once **Ford** called them *Reds,* as they were given misinformation about the true nature of their deployment. Eventually, Blue team leaves and Jones spots someone approaching from the opposite side of Sidewinder Outpost. It is their CO, named The Colonel. He has the Team and himself return to their Base, so he can inform them about what to do here and more about the "*Mission*". All Seen in "Outpost Sidewinder: 09".

## Backstory

Stevens grew up in Southern Texas on a ranch. From a very young age he was trained to fight in bull rings, and sometimes even ride bulls. This was all the idea of his father, who figured the experience would toughen him up.

Stevens father was an accomplished officer in the UNSC. Stevens wanted nothing more than to meet his standards. The pressure and expectations of his childhood created the short tempered and angry man we see today.

## Trivia
