Background
First Minister Anya Stroud was the First Minister of the reestablished Coalition of Ordered Governments and a retired officer in the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army during the Pendulum Wars and Locust War. Daughter of Major Helena Stroud, Anya joined the COG army to follow in her mother's footsteps. Unlike her mother, however, she did not serve as a front-line Gear until 14 A.E. Instead, she became a communications officer and served in her mother's unit during the Pendulum Wars. There she met fellow soldier, Marcus Fenix, and fell deeply in love with him. She also became mutual friends with Gears Carlos and Dominic Santiago. She took part in the Battle of Aspho Fields, during which she witnessed the death of her mother.
Anya continued to serve as a controller in the CIC during the Locust War. She was in participation of the Hammer of Dawn Strikes, in which Chairman Richard Prescott scorched 90% of Sera's surface outside the Jacinto Plateau to stop the Locust in 1 A.E. Following the Fall of Ephyra in 10 A.E., Stroud and the rest of the Coalition relocated from Ephyra to Jacinto. Meanwhile, Sgt. Marcus Fenix was tried as a deserter during the battle while trying to rescue his father, Professor Adam Fenix, and sentenced to forty years in the Jacinto Maximum Security Prison. Four years later, however, Stroud and Fenix were reunited when Fenix was pardoned to participate in the Lightmass Offensive. Stroud operated as Delta Squad's controller during the Operation, helping them deploy the Lightmass Bomb. During Operation: Hollow Storm, she again guided Delta through their battles and escaped the Sinking of Jacinto. As the COG began to rebuild after the apparent victory over the Locust, Anya and Marcus grew closer and she began to train to become a front-line Gear, while still serving as a controller. However, when the Lambent emerged, Stroud fully embraced being in combat and fought alongside Sgt. Fenix in Delta Squad. Lt. Stroud fought until Victory Day, in which Professor Fenix launched the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon - vaprozing the Lambent and neutralizing the Locust in an Imulsion crystalline shells.
After the war, she married Sgt. Fenix and became the original First Minster of the reestablished Coalition of Ordered Governments. She led the people to rebuild New Ephyra and embraced reproductive programs to restore humanity. Taking part in the program herself, she conceived her son, James Dominic Fenix, as she was previously unable due to being barren, but later died in 27 A.E. from birthing complications of her second, unborn child.
