Information
Dundoon was a rather cowardly Grunt, but through a series of unforunate events, he ended up in command of his own lance of Unggoy. This change in authority changed him as well, and he became an unsung hero of Installations 4, 5, and the battle for High Charity.

Childhood and Drafting
Dundoon was the last-born of 20 Unggoy in his family, all male. Being the youngest, he never had to do anything for himself, thus always being a bit of a coward, even for an Unggoy. At age fifteen, he joined his brothers' lance in the Covenant military. His brothers were the most highly decorated Unggoy in the fleet, and he wanted to live up to their reputation.

Heretic
Dundoon's first mission was heavy on combat. His fleet was to destroy a Heretic base near the Sacred Ring, on the moon Basis. Almost immediately after landing, his lance took fire from plasma cannons defending the base. His brother Dunca was killed from their combined fire. A Zealot ordered Dundoon's lance to flank around into the base and keep them inside until they could bomb them out.

This was a suicide mission, but Dundoon knew death was a better fate than disobeying his commanding officer. His brothers took a lot of punishment during the battle, but miraculously, Dundoon remained unscathed. For a short while they held until a grenade blew them apart. Dundoon noticed only four of his brothers survived the blast: The oldest, who was a SpecOps Unggoy, Diin, the second youngest, a Gunner, Dingo, and the twin Majors Tiin and Taan. They pulled back further into the tunnel and set up their plasma cannnon. As soon as the pursuers - A lance of Elites - arrived, they opened fire, killing them instantly. Seraph fighters destroyed the Heretic base, barely giving him and his brothers enough time to escape.

For his "bravery" (Dundoon didn't do anything but hide and cower) Dundoon was promoted to Major, and given his own lance of Minor Grunts to command.
