Hestia Ardelean is a 35 year old American-born Romanian woman serving in the Special Operations Force for TITAN Security Corporation as the Middleman/Squad Leader for Seraphim Squad under the callsign of Seraph/Sera-1
Hestia Ardelean was born on December 23rd, 1989 to Delia Ardelean and Theodore Beckett in Los Angeles, California.
Hestia grew up here and never really excelled in academia, something made worse by being born and raised by neglectful parents who were apathetic towards her at best. This upbringing caused Hestia to develop anxiety and depression at an alarmingly young age, which later caused her to attempt to self-medicate through the usage of alcohol. After graduating high school, with no career or college prospects, Hestia joined the U.S. Air Force at 18 years old.
The Air Force, despite everything, became a lifeline for her. The standards she was held to forced her to channel her self-destructive nature into her work.
This eventually changed into a want for more and led to her moving through the ranks to Air Force Special Operation Command [AFSOC] and eventually began to work towards a Joint Terminal Attack Control certification around her 6th year.
This course was near perfect for Seraph, especially due to her unyielding calmness under extreme pressure and duress and she ended up passing with flying colors and went into service as a JTAC for the rest of her time in the Air Force.
Towards the end of her 3rd term of service, she was contacted by TITAN who offered her a position and she accepted, leaving the Air Force after 12 years of service.
Hestia completed TSOT, ending up near the top of her class. Following her completion was moved into TITAN's combat search and rescue (CSAC) department. She moved around teams for a bit before she was hand picked by Guardian to be the team-lead for Seraphim Squad.
Prior to this assignment, Seraph has been present on multiple missions, the most notable ones being Operation Kinetic Shield and Operation Vertex Gambit.

Seraph is pretty much the only person here who can get away with visibly showing her disdain of Guardian.
Seraph is also the only person here who goes to therapy regularly. It's very obvious.
