Helen Calypso (Labyrinth Canon)

While most facts about Project TROJAN have since been declassified, both for transparency and as propaganda material, very little is known about the background of Codename: VECTOR, alias "Helen Calypso". These are the two names by which she is best known, but little concrete evidence exists that theseeven refer to her. According to ONI paperwork, Calypso is a ghost, almost totally erased from the UNSC's personnel database by the Office of Naval Intelligence or one of its subsections. Joining the secretive Black Operations Group under Captain Aaron A. Gibson after the completion of Combat Group Bravo, her combat record is classified at the highest levels, including various November Black missions, indicating activity in suppressing lingering Insurrectionist forces or other internal threats. In 2557, she resurfaced as an employee of the rogue agent Codename: DRACULA during cursory investigation of the ACCRETION research site, and was neutralised and captured. Eventually, she turned on her former employer, joining Operation: VORAUSSICHT under SHOGUN for a short time and would participate in a number of operations in Blood Covenant territory before disappearing again. During this time, she frequently operated alongside other classified special warfare operators - Codename: ORPHEUS, Indigo Team, Spec WarTeam LEOPARD, and others. After the conclusion of the investigation, Calypso would disappear again, hiding her tracks well and staying far away from the civilian chatternet or electronic grid. ONI suspects that Calypso has made a profitable living through bounty hunting, especially against extraterrestrial targets, using stolen or "acquired" prototype gear to boost her already significant TROJAN abilities to near-SPARTAN levels.

Behind the Scenes

 * Helen Calypso is an alternate universe interpretation of Helen Calypso, the original character created by Matt-256, used with permission. I have tried to keep her personality and backstory relatively similar, while incorporating her into the Labyrinth Canon beyond her Operation: VORAUSSICHT appearances and adding a little more mystery to the character.
