Ngoc Benti (Earth-5875)

Ngoc Benti was a Hospital Corpsman of the UNSC Navy, who was stationed aboard the prowler UNSC Red Horse in October 2552 as a part of Sergeant Zhao Heng Lopez's Marine squad.

Early life
Ngoc Benti was born on a suburban household on Earth, which kept her and her family isolated from the First Contact War.

Skirmish on the Mona Lisa
As a member of Sergeant Zhao Heng Lopez's Marine squad aboard the UNSC Red Horse, Orlav later participated in the reconnaissance mission aboard the prison ship Mona Lisa. After a brief encounter with unarmed and unarmored sangheili, the Marines were ordered to carry the Cole Protocol, splitting in two teams, one led by Benti and consisting of Clarence, Maxwell Gersten and Quincy Tsardikos.

When the Marines passed through the recycling plant of the Mona Lisa, they were attacked by a xenomorph horde. A Facehugger spat acid into Orlav's face, killing her, and also injured Gersten. He was then shot and killed by Clarence without hesitation, as he feared the xenomorphs were infectious and contagious, citing Gersten being alive was a threat to them, to which Benti lamented. While moving further, the surviving Marines encountered a neurotic prisoner, Patrick Rimmer, and a surviving sangheili who temporarely sided with Rimmer to survive, whom he called Henry. As they continued walking, Rimmer explained what he knew of the xenomorphs and the events that happened aboard the Mona Lisa.

After arriving in the engine room, the four witnessed the Marines' D77-TC Pelican pilot Karina Burgundy being dragged to a massive hive the xenomorphs constructed to build a Proto-Keymind, as the aliens planned to use the ship's Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine to spread to other planets. After hearing Lopez chatting with Commander Tobias Foucault, Benti killed the Proto-Keymind with two fragmentation grenades. They then rushed to meet with Lopez and James MacCraw to escape in the ship's two remaining shuttles.

As they rushed to the shuttles, Benti was gravely injured by a xenomorph Aggressor, but was picked up by Henry, who saved her life twice. Once they reached the airlock, Clarence shot Rimmer, and revealed himself as an undercover Auton synthetic sleeper agent of the Office of Naval Intelligence who was to ensure that none of the Marines escaped from the ship with knowledge of the xenomorphs' existence. However, before he could proceed with his plan, Benti sacrificed herself by pushing both her and Clarence at an incoming xenomorph horde.
