&nbsp "I may be a scientist, sitting in a lab all day, working on term papers and whatnot.. But I'm still a Spartan at heart and I sure as hell won't let those Covenant bastards glass another planet!" - Dr. René Alice Keyes

Dr. René Alice Keyes was born on January 17th, to Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey and Captain Jacob Keyes on Csodaszarvas, Cira. In her early life, Dr. Keyes was born as Amethyst Halsey, living the life of a normal child, until she was six years of age. When she had turned six, ONI agents came to her home on Cira, and had threatned to murder her mother if Dr. Halsey did not put her in the Spartan-II Program. So, Dr. Halsey complied to ONI's orders, and she was sent to Reach. During her training on Reach, it was noted by an AI, Phoenix, that she had amazing flexibility. At the age of 14, she had been put in Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM, as Dr. Halsey feared that if her daughter under-went Spartan-II augmentations, she would become crippled, or even die, as Halsey knew that Spartan-II augmentations were far more dangerous. René underwent the augmentations, and recovered successfully. Her flexibility was increased greatly, which would become useful in future missions. At the age of 15, René had found out her homeworld was glassed, and that disrupted her emotions greatly. When René turned 20 years of age, her mother, Dr. Halsey thought it would be best for her to become an in-active Spartan, and switch her credentials over into a job as a scientist in the UNSC. René did as her mother asked, and she was made Chief Scientist.
