Biography Omar al-Karbalaei was born in the year 2537 and was orphaned at a young age when the Covenant invaded his homeworld. Omar was then conscripted as part of the Gamma Company of the SPARTAN-III program. Omar proved to be more skilled in combat than most of his fellow SPARTAN-IIIs were, and after completing a series of specially-assigned missions, he was inducted into the Headhunters. Operation: SNAKE HEAD Main article: Operation: SNAKE HEAD Omar-G056's superiors partnered him with April-G182, a fellow Headhunter, and sent the partnership to Earth. On November 19, 2552, the Headhunters arrived at Sydney, Australia in order to prevent the Covenant from destroying the city, lest the UNSC lose HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, their most important structure. ONI had discovered that the local Covenant forces were led by a brute war chieftain named Drusus, but have only been able to devastate the city as a result of the chieftain’s leadership. Killing Drusus would enable the UNSC to drive off the Covenant infantry, thus preventing complete destruction of the capital. ONI was able to locate the building where Drusus was giving his commands from, and sent the two Headhunters to assassinate the chieftain. Omar-G056, sniping Covenant infantry with his SRS99C-S2 AMB Omar and April each brought an SRS99C-S2 AMB and took up separate positions to snipe the Covenant forces that guarded the building. Once both Spartans ran out of 14.5×114mm rounds, they discarded their anti-materiel rifles and proceeded into the structure. The Headhunters made effective use of their active camouflage, maintaining their stealth as they advanced through the building, silently eliminating any Covenant they had to until they found the chieftain himself. Both Omar and April agreed that should one of them be revealed, the other should continue to stick to the shadows and not aid his/her partner in order to complete the mission. With his active camouflage engaged, Omar-G056 assassinates a Brute Captain Major. "Fire in the hole!" With many of his forces having mysteriously disappeared, Drusus began to suspect that something was wrong and was on full alert. Out of paranoia, he threw a spike grenade, which happened to be in Omar’s direction, forcing the Headhunter to evade and reveal his presence. Drusus’s bodyguards immediately went after Omar, who succeeded in killing most his attackers in self-defense. April, having made the agreement with Omar, used the distracted brutes to get closer to the chieftain. When his bodyguards proved to be unable to take out their enemy, Drusus personally lunged at the Headhunter. Overwhelmed, Omar found himself in the clutches of the chieftain. Before Drusus could land the finishing blow, however, the Headhunter activated a plasma grenade he had collected from a previous fallen foe. The ensuing explosion drained Drusus’ shields and knocked off his helmet while completely vaporizing all other nearby brutes as well as Omar. Legacy Omar-G056's decision provided April-G182 with a window to strike. Immediately after the plasma grenade detonation, Omar's partner jumped onto the chieftain’s back, climbed up to his shoulders, and then impaled the top of his skull with her knife. With Drusus dead and the Prophet of Truth at the Ark, the local Covenant forces had lost their cohesion. All remaining UNSC forces in Sydney were then able to finish off the disorganized Covenant, thus saving the capital from destruction. Omar-G056's sacrifice posthumously awarded him a Legion of Honor and a Purple Heart, and like all Spartans who die, he was reported as missing in action. Unbeknownst to anyone but herself, April-G182 holds a degree of survivor's guilt over Omar's death. Personality and traits The synergy between April-G182 and Omar-G056 allowed for the success of Operation: SNAKE HEAD. Stoic and efficient are words that would describe Omar-G056. He was not one for idle chatter and always took the most reliable route when setting out to accomplish a task. In these regards, Omar-G056 was very much like his partner, April-G182, and their similar personalities allowed them to work with impeccable synergy. Like his fellow Spartans, Omar-G056 was fearless and did not hesitate to make hard decisions, which ultimately led him to sacrificing himself when he was left with no other choice. Even by SPARTAN-III standards, Omar-G056 was a very skilled soldier as proven by him being chosen to become a Headhunter. In terms of direct combat, he did not specialize in a particular field but his most favored weapon was the MA5C rifle for the versatility it provided. Equipment Omar-G056, in his Headhunter SPI armor Omar-G056 wore the experimental variant of SPI armor given to all Headhunters of the time; this variant of SPI armor was equipped with a motion tracker, energy shielding, a VISR, and active camouflage that could be sustained for up to four minutes and required power from other systems of the suit to recharge. During Operation: SNAKE HEAD, Omar-G056 was armed with an SRS99C-S2 AMB, a suppressed MA5C, and an M6C/SOCOM.
