Kawika Ichida Son was a commissioned officer of the UNSC Naval Service and the UNSC Special Operations Command. In thirty-eight years of perennial service to the UNSC Defense Force (2535—2573), Son indelibly shaped the Post-War affairs of the UNSC, rejuvenating special operations warfare, technologies, and doctrines (culminating in the inauguration of the Myrmidon Program) and moreover he led the salient UNSC Special Forces-centered counterinsurgency campaigns that overcame prolific Post-War insurgencies on Midgard and other worlds.
Son eventually held the rank of Admiral in the flag officer corps of the UNSC Navy and attained the station of Commander-in-Chief of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He previously held the positions of Commander, UNSC Progressive Warfare Command and Commander, UNSC Naval Special Warfare Group Six, where he commanded the special mission units of the UNSC Special Operations Command. Son's renown was largely earned through his exploits with the Joint Special Operations Task Force 452—a interservice unconventional warfare special operations task force that he pioneered during his time as a counterterrorism advisor to the ONI Directorate of Strategic Intelligence.
A talented mentor, Son oversaw the ascension of a handful of promising young officers whom he championed throughout his career. These included Captain SPARTAN-G071 "Esther", commander of the UNSC Naval Special Commando Unit; Captain Richard Gregory Ives of UNSC Strategic Task Reconnaissance; Command Master Chief Petty Officer "Artemis", sergeant major to the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command; and Lieutenant Commanders SPARTAN-G293 "Jake" and SPARTAN-G219 "Katie".
During and after the Human-Covenant War, Son would operate as an infantry officer of UNSC Naval Special Warfare Group Six (NAVSPECWAR Six), becoming distinguished in the Battle of Cambridge and in his involvement in Janelia Blue during the Memory Crisis.
Eventually, he would assume position of Commander, UNSC Naval Special Warfare and would direct the Myrmidon Program. When the calamitous "Beyond Veil's Azure" crisis would strike, Son would serve as the commander of Task Force 51, an intraservice counterterrorism task force stationed on Midgard.
Afterwards, Son would rest the reins of warfare, retiring in 2599 to fully enjoy a content retirement with his wife, Chandler Danial, during the Galactic Era.
