 Ryan-A022 (born Ryan Morgan) is a of the. He was involved in numerous, significant operations throughout. Towards the end of the war, he was involved in the highly important OPERATION: Final Solution. In addition, he aided the Platinum Team in multiple engagements to obtain a  artifact called the Contumacy. At the conclusion of the war with the Covenant, Ryan's highly critical view of caused him to leave the UNSC and be branded as a traitor.

Childhood and early career
Ryan Morgan was born on. When the attacked his homeworld in, his parents were killed, but he was rescued by  forces. He was conscripted into the  in. In training, Ryan's combat skills far surpassed those of his peers, and his sniping abilities in particular reminded  of. Seeing that such skills were not to be wasted on suicide missions, the pulled Ryan out of the Alpha Company, along with a few almost-as-exceptional SPARTAN-IIIs.

In his earlier years of combat, Ryan-A022 singlehandedly eliminated multiple rebel organizations, much like would do years later. Unlike the younger SPARTAN, Ryan had also fought in several engagements against the Covenant before the.

Battle of Gliese 581
Ryan-A022 was called to the Gliese 581 system to defend the colonies of Zarmina and Faunus from the Covenant. Ryan was placed on an to help Anne-003 fight off boarding Covenant infantry. Ryan and Annie then left the station, piloting a. After battling through many, the two SPARTANs were ordered to land on Faunus to defend Zarmina on the ground.

During the battle, had intercepted a Covenant transmission regarding an artifact called the Contumacy. The Covenant themselves knew little of the relic's functions, but it required three key pieces to unlock. A map on the locations of all three pieces along with the artifact itself were within an underground structure on Zarmina. Rick-077, Dom-094, and Sam-015 were sent to the structure, but could not reach the map before the Covenant forces did. ONI, however, managed to track the map to the Unwavering Conviction, which by chance, was hovering a few hundred meters over Covenant-occupied land of Zarmina to refit. The SPARTANs on Zarmina boarded the battlecruiser using its.

As ONI continued to track the Unwavering Conviction. Gerald de Gaulle of the UNSC Alexandra picked up Ryan and Annie from Faunus, and gathered multiple and  to prepare to surround the Unwavering Conviction. Once the Covenant battlecruiser completed its refit and left the atmosphere, the Alexandra fired its at the vessel, depleting its shields. Multiple Longswords closed in on the Unwavering Conviction, battling her fighter complement. Ryan and Annie once again piloted a Longsword of their own, this time having a squad of in the fighter, and boarded the weakened battlecruiser by flying into its hangar bay. The SPARTANs of both sides were able to join forces aboard the ship, and then kill the shipmaster and take the map. On their way off the Unwavering Conviction, however, the SPARTANs discovered that their Longsword was destroyed by Covenant. Fortunately, a Pelican was able to pick up the SPARTANs at the nearest hangar bay, allowing them to make their escape.

Operation: FINAL SOLUTION
Ryan was on-planet during the, and during the ground invasion, participated in various battles. Most notably, after arrived with significant reinforcements on November 17th, Ryan was tasked to defend the   base in Wellington. Despite his support, Covenant eventually overwhelmed the facility, and emergency measures were enacted. As the site was the first where armor was being made in prototype, much of the technology was either evacuated or destroyed, and the facility was primed to self-destruct. It was during the evacuation that Ryan and Dae-B014 were acquainted with two other SPARTANs, Kai-G037, and Lukas-G124; before everyone vacated the facility, the four were able to pick through which armor they wanted, and upgrade from their previous armor systems.

With the the war going poorly in space, and over much of the rest of the planet, the surviving ONI command issued a bleak mission to their surviving soldiers and ships, which was dubbed "Operation: FINAL SOLUTION". The ultimate goal was to send stealth corvettes (of which the base had several) to detonate on each of the Covenant homeworlds, in an effort to get back at the Covenant, in the face of Humanity's perceived defeat.

Under Kai's command, Ryan was reassigned to the UNSC Tipping Point with the other SPARTANs, and immediately left for. Recently declassified, Chi Ceti IV's moon was the hidden site used to manufacture and store the NOVA bombs, despite already being conquered by the Covenant, and being behind enemy lines. Regardless, the Tipping Point was the first ship to arrive in system (due to leaving Earth before the others) on December 18, 2552, and it detected a small Covenant garrison on both the moon and the planet. However, no Covenant ships were detected. Ryan was assigned with the others to clear the moon discreetly, and identify any remaining NOVA bombs, while the small group of marines and ODSTs onboard were sent to the planet to prevent any Covenant from notifying their leadership that UNSC forces were in the area.

Later, after all military forces had been deployed, the remaining prowlers assigned to the desperation operation, UNSC In The Deep, UNSC Cold Opening, and UNSC Sevastopol arrived in system. They offered additional support for the planet-side team, lending what few soldiers and equipment they had.

The team found out quickly enough that the Covenant forces on the planet were simply science lances, and were barely armed. This lent to a quick and bloody slaughter, promptly eliminating all alien life. After Kai identified five NOVA bombs on the ONI moon base, Ryan signaled the prowlers to move in to pick them up.

However, at this time, a single Covenant destroyer entered the system.



Personality and Description
"You can be my wingman any time."

- Ryan-A022's only known compliment

Although not as physical strong and fast as the, Ryan is notorious for possessing combat skills that rival those of even the best of them. Ryan more specifically excels at sniping, and is surpassed only by in marksmanship. Also like the "lone wolf" of the SPARTAN-IIs, Ryan rarely, if ever speaks. Most words that come out of his mouth are complaints of allies' incompetence or the occasional inconsistencies of the behavior of forces. Having multiple experiences of allies dragging him down, Ryan prefers to work alone; the most notable exception to this has been Rick-077, who Ryan claims to be strangely "in sync" with during combat. Ryan does, however, have the ability to lead, and will do so effectively when assigned to. Overall, Ryan can be seen as the 's version of the SPARTAN-II Program's Linda-058, and the 's.
