- "Imperial Earth and her accomplices oppress us because they think we won't retaliate. We aren't the Covenant so we aren't a threat. They think they're safe. We need to show them that they're wrong. We need to make them bleed. Their blood on our soil, that's what will make our children free."
- ― Jens Aasen, shortly before his death on Terceira
Jens Aasen was an Insurrectionist operative and a member of the Second Vanguard. A former ODST and a veteran of the Human-Covenant War, Jens met Redmond Venter during their time in ONI's Asymmetrical Action Group. Jens was a vocal critic of UEG colonial policies and defected shortly after the end of the war. Like many disillusioned veterans he traveled to Mamore and was an active Insurrectionist agent during the bloody Second Mamore Insurrection. Following the collapse of Mamore's revolutionary government Jens joined Redmond Venter's Second Vanguard in its efforts to support independence movements across the colonial frontier. A fervent believer in colonial independence, Jens supported Venter's increasingly extreme tactics in the war against the UNSC. He helped train the Bloodhounds, child soldiers taken in or abducted by the Second Vanguard. Jens lent his surname to several Bloodhounds, including one Ragna Aasen. He was assassinated by UNSC forces during suppression operations on Terceira.
