Stassney

"Oh sure, they say we’re at peace, but you know them squid-heads will put a laser through our heads faster’n greased lightning if we gave ’em the chance!"

- Stassney in Prologue

Stassney was a crew member aboard the UNSC Tartarus, first appearing in Prologue.

Role in Plot
While transporting prisoners aboard the UNSC Tartarus, the ship's crew discover a lone Pelican out in space, with Stassney being ordered to meet up with crewmates Killgore and Blanton at docking for the Pelican. The three find Felix alone inside the Pelican, with Stassney finding him suspicious, but Felix quickly befriends them. After Captain Mayers tells Felix about the prisoners they are carrying and jokes that nobody is interested in them, Felix states that he is and attacks the crew members. In retaliation, Stassney grabs a pistol and tries to kill Felix, but, unfortunately, ends up killing his own ally instead. Felix then tells Stassney that he is not going to kill him, suprising Stassney. Unfortunately, Felix states that Locus is going kill him, which the latter does.
