"Roederer is an adept marksman and is one of the more athletic Spartans in the branch. It's no wonder why he was recruited into Spartan Branch. If it wasn't for his moral compass and his rather odd discipline record, he would be one of our Headhunters..."

Biographical History

Early Life

On January 14, 2532, Bryan Xavier Roederer was born on a commercial space station that was orbiting around a gas giant in the Zeta Retuculi sector. Bryan's childhood was mostly spent inside starships, space stations, and on remote frontier colonies, since his parents, Davis and Cora Roederer, worked as freelance technicians for several deep space-mining operations. In his unconventional youth, Bryan would usually socialize and play with any other children that were with him, while his parents were away on their jobs. While he never had a formal education, the Roederers were able to hire private tutors to help in the boy's education, as he would be taught the disciplines of mathematics and science. Bryan would develop a fascination with computer science, and he would spend most of his time observing and learning the electronics and softwares of the stations, colonies, and starships he was on at the time.

Bryan's teenage years was a transformative period for the future Spartan. The teenaged Bryan had found himself working independently with other contractors on mining operations, as he helped in repairing and maintaining any electronic equipment and hardware for other mining crews. Roederer was also apart of these operations, and was shown to be a reliable worker. Soon, with Humanity's war of survival against the Covenant raging on, there was a significant amount of high-risk, deep-space mining jobs being offered to the freelance, independent contractors by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC), as they were offering a hefty sum of credits. Davis and Cora would correctly assume that the war was not going well. There was also the disappearances of several parties on these UNSC-sanctioned mining operations. Therefore, fearing for their safety, Davis and Cora had planned to flee to the frontier colonies and hide until the danger had passed. The plan would never come to fruition.

In 2548, the Roederer family were on Solomon Station at the time, a large commercial space station that acted as a home for miners within the regions. Davis and Cora would join up with a small crew for another mining job in the system, leaving their son in the care of colleagues on the station. The young Bryan would see his family off at the docking station, not knowing that it would be the last time he would ever see them again. After several weeks, the station's radar would pick up strange anomalies nearby, but the station marshals did not take them seriously. This judgement would prove costly, as a Covenant SDV-class heavy corvette arrived at Solomon Station soonafter the anomalies stopped. Before any of the evacuation measures were initiated, boarding parties of Special Operations Sangheili entered the station and they began to massacre the inhabitants.

Bryan, unarmed and no match for the Elites, was forced to move and hide in the station, slipping past Elite patrols through the vents and halls of the derelict station. Realizing that it was only a matter time before the Elites would discover his presence or destroy the station, Roederer navigated his way to the communication station, surviving several encounters with the Elites. Once he got there, Bryan sent out a distress signal, in the hopes that someone would hear it. Luckily, someone did, as a UNSC battle group dropped in, and forced the Covenant raiders to leave the station and the Corvette to flee. Marines entered Solomon Station to rescue any survivors, but would discover that Bryan was only living being left. Bryan was evacuated and treated for his wounds on a heavy corvette, where he watched the derelict and damaged space station be destroyed by demolitions, as the naval battle group left for human-controlled space.

In the aftermath, Bryan was placed on a civilian transport, and taken to Earth.

Enlistment into the UNSC Armed Forces

After his enlistment and induction, Roederer would complete the grueling Marine Combat Training (MCT) course at the Unified Combined Military Boot Camp on the colony of Reach. During the MCT, Roederer would showcase and enhance his athleticism and was able to harness his physical tools for combat. Roederer would also develop into an excellent marksman at boot camp. Upon his graduation in late 2551, Bryan was given the rank of Corporal (E-4) and was made a rifleteam leader for his Marine squadron. A couple of Marine officers, who had taken notice of Roederer's talents in MCT, were able to recruit the young corporal into UNSC Marine Force Reconnaissance, a special operations group that was in need to fill up their depleted ranks.

Corporal Roederer would complete the grueling selection process for Force Recon, and he was plunged into the grueling training meant to forge him and his fellow volunteers into elite Force Recon operatives. Roederer would survive the process, and was assigned to the 1st Marine Force Reconnaissance Company. In his assignment, he would meet and befriend Brennen Jackson, as they were both placed in the same squadron.

Personality and Traits

"Most people go through life without finding and fulfilling their purpose in life, a purpose that is meaningful in the grand scheme of life. For me, I found that purpose when I joined the Marines. However, as a Spartan, I become capable of doing so much more..."

―Bryan Roederer, during an interview with the Media in 2554

Bryan Roederer is regarded as an individual with outstanding character, defined by his integrity and his valor. He is known to be caring for his fellow man, and was driven by a Kantian moral framework that was instilled into him by his parents. Roederer was raised to believe, from an early age, that the rightness or wrongness of actions and deeds is not dependent on consequences, but, on whether they fulfill one's moral duty. Bryan possesses rigorous discipline, as he is often seen spending his freetime on the training grounds. Roederer has spent his time training on the holographic firing ranges, and obstacle courses as a Marine. As a Spartan, Roederer dedicated significant amount time in the War Games simulations, and spent time training and pushing his augmented body to it's limits. One of Roederer's more defining traits was his care for his fellow men, whether they were familiar or strangers to him. He often volunteered himself for rescue, and often ignored orders to save the lives of anyone in danger. This also applies to hostiles, as he is often taken wounded Insurrectionists and hostile aliens as prisoners, and treated them humanely, even if the favor is not returned.

Bryan Roederer, circa 2554

When it comes to his physical profile, Bryan is an athletic and well-built individual, all due to intense physical training that he added to his daily routine. Bryan possesses bright, blue eyes and dark, black hair. He has facial hair, but he usually keeps it to a minimum. When not in his armor, Bryan generally dresses in military garb or other civilian clothes that is cheap on price. Roederer's athleticism and his physical tools would be enhanced, when he underwent the augmentation procedures for the SPARTAN-IV Program. Roederer's speed and reflexes were even more advanced than the average human, and the augmentations allowed for him to perform maneuvers with surgical accuracy in an extremely short span of time. However, even with his with his physical talents, Roederer did have his shortcomings. Bryan suffers from Fibromyalgia, a chronic disorder that can cause widespread pain in the muscles, bones, areas of tenderness, and general fatigue. The augmentations and the prescribed medications have helped Bryan in managing the onslaught of pain caused by his condition.

Roederer was trained into becoming an excellent sharpshooter and, thanks to his discipline, was able to master a wide range of weaponry in the UNSC's arsenal. Roederer would achieve elite marksmanship for human weapons such as the MA5D ICWS, BR55 and BR85 Battle Rifles, M395 DMR, and the SRS99 series Sniper Rifles. Due to his athleticism and his dedication to military training, Roederer acted as a Scout for his units, even act as a runner in some situations. Bryan, thanks to his expertise in handling electronic devices, was a useful hacker to utilize on the field. However, Bryan was limited in his combat capacity, as he struggled in CQC and struggled in positions of leaderships during combat. Even so, Roederer is seen as a talented soldier that can be counted on during any of the dire situations that can happen.

When it comes to relationships for Roederer, it came easy to him due to his sociable nature. He developed a solid set of bonds with the members of Fireteam Sword, due to the experiences they shared in the final days of the war against the Covenant. Roederer's closest relationships were with Brennen Jackson and Lynne Niekro, as the trio fought alongside each other during the Invasion of Earth. They all joined the SPARTAN-IV Program together, and trained together. While they have butted heads before, Roederer still held great respect for the veterans of Sword, Jerrick Steele and Ryan Hendricks. Both held a different set of priorities and beliefs than Roederer, but, both also respected his skills and caring nature for other soldiers.

When it comes to his hobbies and quirks, Bryan has a particular taste in music, as he enjoys classical alternative rock music. Roederer enjoys listening to music from classic bands and musicians during his training and freetime. Some of his favorite artists date all the way to the latter years of 20th century, like Alice in Chains and Audioslave. Roederer also enjoyed athletic activities, enjoying Basketball and Football in his freetime.
