User:Agreon/Seph Sieghard

Joseph "Seph" Kelly Sieghard was born on November 7th, 2475 in New York City, New York into a middle-class family. Seph had a troubled young life due to family issues, and never actually having any answers to what was in fact happening. He did do well in school. When he was 19, he joined the UNSC, and went to the UNSC Officer Corps. He graduated and joined the Marine Corps, rising to the rank of Lieutenant until he was recruited by ONI. He began to work against the Insurrectionist and Rebel groups, primarily on Luna.

Young Life
Up until six, Seph's life was normal as normal could be. Both his parents lived together in a decent house in a middle-class level neighborhood. His father had been in jail three times. Seph's father was arrested for a fourth time in January of 2482. That was the first time that Seph really understood what was happening. He asked his mother why his father was being taken to jail. She responded, telling him that he "made some bad choices." When his father was out of jail for the fourth time, Seph's mother divorced him. The two moved to Seph's mother's house on Harvest.

Moving Out
When Seph was 12, Seph's mom was prepared to buy a house back on Earth, with a job secure. The two move back to Earth, to Dayton, Ohio, a large, metropolitan area, about the size of New York City was in the 21st century. His mother often struggled to keep everything normal in their household, but she always managed to, just barely, keep food on the table and pay for the bills.

At the age of 14, Seph's uncle from his mother's side moved in with them. Seph was never told why. Seph did not even know his uncle before he moved in. His uncle proved to be a nice person, but was always secritive. Seph felt that there was something being hidden from him. He became edgier and edgier when confronting his uncle, until, one day, when Seph was 15, Seph noticed that his uncle was standing in their back yard. He went out to ask him what he was doing. He responded, "Go away, Seph... I mean it." Seph decided to stay. Seph's uncle produced a 12.7x40mm M6C Military Model handgun from his jacket, and shot himself through the temple. Seph was too shocked to stop him.

Moving In
A year or so later, Seph's mother got an e-mail from Seph's father. The two kept in touch on a friendly basis. He had been admitted into a hospital. The two quickly went to New York, living at Seph's father's brother's (Seph's uncle on his father's side) house. He had been admitted with a high fever, vomiting, and an inexplicable dying look. He died about half an hour after his mother and Seph arrived in New York, about an hour after they got the e-mail.

Soon after this, Seph's mother sent him off to live with her parent's, again. She never gave a straight answer, always stating that, "She couldn't pay for him without child support," or, "I need to be alone for a while," or, "It's not safe hear. You'll understand someday." Needless to say, he did understand someday.

He lived with his grandparents until he was 18, during which he figured out the truth. He found out his father was a drug dealer, both his father and mother did drugs, and that those were the reasons why he was in and out of jail.

His father smuggled drugs for the Insurrectionists, selling some personally, and keeping some for himself. He had died from an overdose. His uncle was also part of the Insurrection Federation. His father died in debt of about 10,000 cR because he did not still have the drugs that he took to sell. The Insurrection demanded that the uncle pay it, or they would take their house. He decided to shoot himself. Oddly enough, the problem did go away. The Insurrectionists decided to not press the issue: It was not that big of a deal to them.
