Biography
Farid Bakárzai was a civilian from Wengchang, on Shanxi, who chose to enlist in the planet's Colonial Militia once it was created by Governor Ukko Joukahainen. The oldest member of all Militiamen, he was promoted to leadership positions by the UNSC Marine Corps members Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, who were training them.

He participated of the First Battle of Shanxi, where he witnessed the death of Victor Delgado at the hands of a Covenant jiralhanae. Victor's death deeply impacted Fareed, who led Delgado against the alien attackers. He was later consoled by Johnson, who told him that if it was not for Victor's death, the Covenant would have found them quicker and ambush all of the Militia.
