Biography

Childhood

As a child, John lived on the Outer Colony of Eridanus II with his parents and a dog named Ellie. While exploring one day while on a family picnic, John encountered a Forerunner keystone in a cavern outside of the Reach for Life installation, and he repeatedly drew both it and another keystone that was on Madrigal. Eventually, John's father grew frustrated and forced John to bury his drawings of the artifacts. During this time, John met Doctor Catherine Halsey who used a game to test John's luck.[1][4][5][6]

Spartan training and early career

As a teenage trainee, John and his classmate Soren-066, who was unable to continue due to a disfigurement from the augmentation process, planned to escape the training facility to The Rubble. However, John changed his mind at the last minute, but decided not to let anyone else know, allowing Soren to escape seemingly undetected.[4]

John would later gain the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer and was made leader of Silver Team. On an early mission to Madrigal, John was sent to quell dissent from the Insurrectionists. He then received orders to kill one of their leaders, which he carried out without question.[1]

Near Death Experience

While trying to save both the Forerunner Keystones and Silver Team from the Covenant, John realized that they were outmatched and Cortana warned him that he could only save one or the other. John instead ordered Cortana to take control of his body so that she could do both in his stead, despite the AI no longer wanting to do so. When John continued to insist, Cortana warned him that she wasn't sure if she could bring him back, but John declared that he trusted her. Moments later, Atriox flung John into a temple wall with his gravity mace, seemingly killing him. Manifesting her avatar, Cortana merged with John's body and used it to defeat the Covenant forces and save both Silver Team and the keystones.[7]

John was returned to Reach, badly injured but still alive. As doctors tried to save his life, Cortana frantically called for him to wake up and ordered the doctors to sever the connection between the AI and the Spartan as he began crashing. As a tear fell from John's eye, the doctors permanently severed their connection and ultimately managed to save his life.[8]
