One of the most effective snipers in the Kig-yar guilds, Ank, or Ank of Gorlam as he was often called, was a Kig-yar mercenary that made a name for himself based on his skills as an assassin. Born on Gorlam III and orphaned at a young age as often happens to Kig-yar, Ank turned to scavenging early in his life, finding his stride among the Kep Clan. Noted by commanders within the Covenant armies, Ank was recruited by Ameigh Broley to become a member of her Lance of Unrelenting Reparation in 2543, a special unit she had designed for high-risk missions with special interest in killing Demons. Ank would continue to serve among the Kig-yar of the unit, usually paired with Jaig of Yvainne, throughout the course of the Human-Covenant War and into the reconstruction period afterward.
