| abstract | - Roy Sigmund, also known as "The Little Insurgent", was an Insurrectionist child soldier. Born and abandoned on the streets of New Tyne, Sigmund was carrying messages and packages for the Insurrectionists as early as age seven. As the fight for Venezia became more and more violent, in 2537, Sigmund was trained to use an M6G Magnum for protection. In early 2540, after a particularly disastrous gun battle with UNSC forces, the rebel group Sigmund was a part of became desperate for any manpower they could get. As such, the thirteen year old Sigmund became trained to use an MA1 assault rifle as a combat soldier. In August, when the rebellion broke out, Sigmund and his group were tasked with capturing the slums of the city, already destroyed by the battle between both sides, and under martial law. Due to his small size, Sigmund would be used to hide improvised explosive devices, run messages, or spy on UNSC forces. On August 26th, as he was attempting to run a message from his surrounded unit to nearby rebel forces, Sigmund ran into a pair of UNSC Army troops. Still not wanting to take a human life, Sigmund tried to run past them in the shadows, but the troopers, hearing his footsteps, fired into the shadows, hitting Sigmund with seven rounds in his chest. Although the soldiers soon discovered it was a child, and attempted to save him, Sigmund was unable to be saved, and died of his wounds several minutes later. Sigmund's memory lived on as a tiny bronze statue of him was made in New Tyne's Soldier Square. The statue read, "In Memory of All the Child Soldiers Who Fought and Died to Keep Venezia Free.".
