Beginnings in Sedra.
Asger wasn't born on earth, he was born on Sedra also known as Orrichon III an outer world colony with a pretty poor economy. His 'earth' nationality is barely known by this point after so many different generations but his most apparent nationality it be some strange form of some Nordic place like Sweden, Denmark or Norway. The Colonists on Sedra believe in the Norse Religion and Asger believes in it as well. His parents are third generation Sedra colonizers and Asger is the fourth generation. His family had colonized the planet and ran a Sedran Red Fruit farm, a natural growing fruit on the planet of Sedra, Asger didn't want to live his whole lift being a farmer on Sedra, even though his parents wished for him to stay, he didn't listen and joined the Sedran Colonial Guard also known as the Sedran Marine Corps, he trained there and was stationed there as a militia man. Years later when a separatist movement became violent in Sedra, Benjamin was deployed to aid the efforts to stop this rebellion. The Rebel Movement sought to gain independence from the UEG.
Sedra Rebellion.
Real combat for the first time, no more shooting range and trainings this was the real deal. Private First Class Asger Magnusson was deployed into the thick of battle in the City of Mosli, this is where Asger gained the most valuable lessons for combat as it was very unorthodox and the training the Militia was given was fairly ineffective against the rebellion's guerilla tactics, Asger learned to adapt to situations and formulate plans around it the intel he was given, due to his combat prowess and leadership ability during the Sedran Rebellion he was promoted to Sergeant during a field promotion after losing his previous sergeant in a fire fight. Asger was also awarded the Colonial Cross award.

Background:
In the capital city of Sedra, Sedra City. Inside of the Sedran Market district, Sedran Separatists ambushed a group of citizens and took several hostages including C. Abbas a commander apart of the Sedran Environmental Security Organization. Sedran Marines were dispatched to rescue all civilians and the V.I.P, the main objective was to rescue the hostages but a bonus was to kill the Separatist Commander Arne, a bandit and a rebel Arne was known for hijacking vehicles, killing civilians, terrorist attacks and extortion.
Preparations:
Asger's squad geared up and made quick and decisive plans that would ultimately win them the battle in the end. Rebels had taken defensive positions in the market place, taking cover behind buildings and market stalls, two fireteams would move in from opposite ends taking out any forward scouts, after they took out the contacts on the outskirts they would move in and clear the inside of the compound before moving towards the main building where they are storing the V.I.P, one fireteam would breach the main building while the other one extracts more civilians. After clearing the main building, they need to extract the V.I.P and get the hell out of there.
Battle:
As per the plan the fireteams moved to the outskirts of the Market Place and eliminated the hostiles, they attempted to keep a low profile but a botched shot from one of the marksman's alerted the Sentries and they alerted the inner rebels. After eliminating all of the sentries the fireteams moved into the inner city. During the firefight with the Inner Market contacts, 2 Marines were wounded and one was killed, some separatists surrendered after seeing their comrades die. They diverged from the plan and assembled both Fireteams back into one main squad, the squad escorted the wounded and civilians out of the market and then moved back in towards the main building. A demolition man walked up to the door and placed charges on it, when the charges detonated it blasted the door back and then the Marines swarmed inside of the first floor, some rebels had surrendered due to the blast disorienting them, the other rebels who still tried to fight back were swiftly gunned down. The marines moved in on the second floor clearing room by room, until they finally made it to the the top floor where the V.I.P was being held. When they breached the room, instantly a grenade a thrown at the Marines, most made it out without any injuries after taking cover, but two were critically injured, one soon bled out from his injuries and the other lost the bottom half of his left leg. After stabilizing the wounded, they threw a flashbang into the room and cleared it very quickly, they bursted into the room, gunning down those who didn't surrender and shot the Separatist Commander critically in the chest. The Commander later bled out during extraction, the Marines escorted the V.I.P out of the room and signaled on their radio for a pelican pickup. The Pelican extracted the wounded and civilians and another one was called for the remaining soldiers.
For Asger's tactics, bravery and combat experience he was promoted to Staff Sergeant. He was also awarded the Soldier's medal.
UNSC Marine Corps.
After the Sedra Rebellion, Benjamin Johnstone sought for more adventure and wanted to explore life further, he enlisted in the UNSC Marine Corps after his service in the Sedra Marine Corps from his experience he was able to enlist as a Sergeant in the UNSC Marine corps still a demotion from Staff Sergeant during his time in the Sedran Marine Corps, he didn't mind though and he continued to serve. Originally he was just a rifleman and trained and honed his firearms skills during his training period but then went into a Combat Medic academy. The UNSC Marine Corps was in need of Corpsmen and Combat Medics and Benjamin went onto join the Combat Medic and Medical training academy, the UNSC Marine Corps required more medics and the course was much shorter than usual only 6 months instead of the usual 11 months after he graduated from his Medical training he was sent out to the frontlines to fight against the rebels and the Insurrection.
Insurrection.
Oh so ironic going from fighting rebels in one place to another, Asger had attended a tryout shortly after his Corpsmen training for the UNSC Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance, during his deployment on the planet of Reach during the insurrection period Asger was aiding the MFR perform reconnaissance missions to gain intel on locations of Separatist supply locations and hideouts, during one mission the MFR Squad of Asger we're ambushed in a small open plains location by a small group of insurgents, the squad was unprepared for the attack and was relatively small with only about 8 members, several went M.I.A during this ambush but 5 others managed to escape including Asger, later on while returning to base while awaiting a Pelican to pick them up they were ambushed again but by the local wildlife of a Gúta, the Gúta injured Asger after pouncing on him, fortunately Asger's remaining squad members were able to kill the Gúta and save him. The Pelican arrived shortly after and medically evac'ed him and his squad. More MFR we're sent back to the location of the ambush and the M.I.A MFR squad members we're missing, the location of their bodies are unknown. Asger was admitted to a field hospital for a small amount of time. For his injury during combat he was awarded the Purple Hearth medal.
Beginnings in ODST.
After being discharged from the hospital, Asger had gained quite a bit of experience from his Service in the UNSC Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance and then went on to volunteered and joined the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and attended his training ODST Headquarters located in the Martian City of Kenosha in Tanais. Before he could fully become a member of the ODST force, he had to complete his training, he underwent the full course, no skipping or fast tracking here and passed all training and did his first Shock Drop. Now a Helljumper he was ready for his first assignment as an ODST.
Insurrection Part 2.
The first thing you do when you get out that pod is stick your gun up and get your ass into the field, there is no time to waste when your dropped behind or straight into enemy lines and everyone of those bastards want to kill you. Asger's first deployment as an ODST soldier was an ambush on rebels in an outer world colony. Asger led a squad of 12 men during this battle, they dropped behind enemy lines along with the rest of the platoon and caught a group of insurrectionists off guard. They flanked the rebels as UNSC marines assaulted the rebels from the front, the ODST's were able to flank successfully and capture the Rebel cell leader in this region. For his efforts and leading capabilities in this battle Asger was promoted to Staff Sergeant.
