ORION OPERATOR 3DELTA 262 or Adam Breton was an O3DELTA Operator during the beginning of the UNSC-Exile War. Adam was born on Epsilon Eridani II on Remembrance Day in the year 2597, only one month too early for ORION's PHALANX COMPANY targetted recruitment age. Adam Breton was to be recruited as an O3Delta Operator due to his mother being a part of the ORION II program, thus meaning that initial augmentations had been carried over to Adam.

After the Battle of Ganghas Khan on Eridani II, Adam's mother assisted UNSC and CMA forces attempting to quell the rebel movement and riots in 2603 and later executed along with his sister and brother. Adam survived the battle by hiding under a pile of dead CMA personnel, and later found by Pvt. David Callighan, who would be his adopted father from then on.

Early Life
David Callighan had taught Adam self defense in an attempt to keep him safe when he was 7. Adam Breton lived in Callighan's apartment for several years until it was burned down during a second uprising in 2605. Callighan made an attempt to rescue Breton but was unable to enter the apartment for several minutes; giving time for the flames to reach Breton's ill-prepared safehouse within the apartment.

Breton was rescued at 5:52am December 28, 2605 by David Callighan and CMA Rescue Teams. Breton recieved several facial and bodily burns during the fire, many of them severe.

Education
Breton's odd appearance caused him to become an instant outcast, and target for bullying during his early years of school - at which time he discovered his talent with musical instruments and ability to avoid teachers. His teacher, a former S-III DI noted that he would have made a decent S-II cantidate. Breton attended Stanforth Royal High School in 2610. Disaster struck during his graduation when a student opened fire in the auditorium, and held students hostage while executing the teachers. Adam attempted to use Callighan's teachings to disarm the hostage taker only to lose his arm to an 8-gauge shell and cause several more executions.

CMA Forces breached the school, one of which was Sgt. David Callighan who was killed in action while breaching the auditorium door. The hostage taker was killed by CMA Forces, and survivors were rescued by said forces.

The traumatic event caused great stress and mental strain within Adam, and after several tests he was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. After months of treatment Adam abandoned his dream of becoming a composer and enlisted into the CMA Counter-Terrorism unit.
