Ryan Shaw (Service tag: 00701-48720-RS) was an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper who served during the Human-Covenant war and some years afterwards. As of December 2552, he was a Corporal in the UNSC Navy Corps. Ryan was brother to both Caleb and Lewis Shaw.

He was known for his tactics and techniques, a born leader, though young. He had not served in the war for long, but soon became the soldier to watch when his intelligence payed off, saving not only his own life but his comrades around him, playing a good role in the war.

Life on New Saint Petersburg
Ryan was born on the sixth of April 2533 on the UNSC Colony World, New Saint Petersburg. There he was rose by a single parent mother and two younger brothers, Lewis and Caleb. Both of his brothers were of a similar age, their birth-years 2532 and 2533 respectfully. Although his mother watched over them alone, she did a good job of it, Ryan and his brothers were looked after well.

His planet, being made up of Ice was extremely cold, but the City he lived in, British Moscow, spread vast across the center of the planet with warm houses built in to the ground. Ryan lived in a house dug out under the ice, as the city was bustling and full, the UNSC had began to hollow out homes under the water, and Ryan's family was one of the first to receive one.

He was home schooled by his mother, whom worked most hours of daylight, on weekdays teaching her children and on weekends earning the money she needed to look after them. Ryan was perhaps the fastest learner of the three, but was matched physically by his younger brothers.

The Covenant war was occurring as Ryan and his brothers lived their peaceful lives, but they knew what was happening, they would often see Frigates, scorched and burnt dock in the harbor of the city for repair. They were huge, and hard to miss, but their in-atmosphere docking system proved to be a great asset for the UNSC, meaning frigates were common in British Moscow.

As Ryan aged, he wished to become a Marine for the UNSC, as he had seen soldiers doing drills and then being shipped off to fight for thousands of lives, so on his sixteenth birthday, he packed his bags, said goodbye and traveled off to sign up for the UNSC.

ODST
Ryan performed very well in training as a Marine, he excelled to the point that he was offered an extended training time to become an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He accepted the offer and trained for a longer period until in 2546 he became a true Soldier and was shipped off to work in the real battle.
