'''Dr Bernhard H. Strauss''' was the Head of AI Management and Systems Improvement for [[Project Marathon]], and the first science director onboard the [[UESC Marathon]].<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/pfhor.html#M1.20.2.1 Marathon, Beware of Low-Flying Defense Drones... Terminal 2]</ref> He took a special interest in researching the effects of rampancy, using [[Durandal]] as his subject.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.09.3.1 Marathon, Blaspheme Quarantine, Terminal 3]</ref> According to [[Tycho]], Strauss kept Durandal in the first stage of rampancy for years.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.03.3.1 Marathon, Defend THIS! Terminal 3]</ref>

When the [[Pfhor]] attacked the Marathon in 2794, Strauss was among the Marathon crew abducted by the Pfhor on the [[Sfiera]]. Durandal sent the [[Security Officer]] to search for him onboard the ship, but the search was unsuccessful.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/pfhor.html#M1.17.1.1 Marathon, No Artificial Colors, Terminal 1: 'Unfinished' message]</ref>

A reference to Strauss in the Destiny weapon, the MIDA Mini-Tool, suggests he was a member of [[MIDA]] who had infiltrated Project Marathon.
