Darius Holt is a career Marine who transitioned into ordnance management after a field injury left him unfit for frontline combat. During the Fall of Reach, Holt managed one of the last armouries in New Alexandria, arming desperate survivors and ODSTs until the city fell. He escaped with only one functioning rifle in his hands and a lifetime’s worth of ghosts on his back.

Now at Sector 7, Holt treats the armoury as both lifeline and graveyard. He knows that every rifle, every medkit, every frag grenade he issues might be the last thing standing between a Marine and death. To the ODSTs of Alpha-1, he’s both a supplier and a voice of reason — the man who tells them bluntly when they’re walking into hell.
