"Sir, Corporal Perez, "A" Company, CP's this way."

Corporal Perez is a UNSC Marine assigned to "A" Company of the 405th. He fought in the First Battle of Earth as well as the Battle of Installation 05.

Biography

The First Battle of Earth

In Halo 2, the Master Chief met Corporal Perez in the proximity of a Marine field command post in New Mombasa where some Marines are held up, wounded, and making a last-ditch stand against the Covenant occupation. He led Master Chief to Sergeant Banks' position on the roof, and then he simply became another background Marine. Based upon his use of the expletive "coño" during the trailer, he is presumed to be of Spanish nationality or descent.

Search for the Index

Perez is mentioned, but not seen, during the Battle of the Library in which the UNSC, and the Arbiter race against each other to gain possession of the Index, while the Flood try to stop then from getting possession of the Index, which the Covenant call the "Sacred Icon". The cut-scene shows Miranda Keyes reaching for the Index with Sergeant Johnson saving her after a Flood tentacle fails to hold. He says a short comment to her and then he yells out, "McKenzie? Perez? How's our exit? Do you hear me, Marines?". That's the last link to them from the game. As the Arbiter approaches Keyes and Johnson's position within the Index's chamber, he steps over the remains of two Human Marines, presumably McKenzie and Perez. They were most likely killed by remaining Combat Forms or Flood parasites.

It is also possible he was captured by Tartarus beforehand, as on the level Gravemind, you need to rescue some Marine POWs. This more likely of the two theories as his voice and character model can be seen whilst the chief and the escaped marines are leaving the cell block.
