'''Anthony Petrosky'''<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-artificial-antiquities '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Artificial Antiquities'']</ref> is a retired [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] who served in the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="HTT03">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 03: CRITICAL CONDITION''</ref>

==Biography==
In [[2525#April|April 2525]], Petrosky was stationed on {{UNSCShip|Atlas}} under the command of then-[[Antonio Silva|Second Lieutenant Antonio Silva]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 134''</ref> Petrosky and his fellow crew members were practice boxing in the gym when he witnessed the events that escalated to a fight in the boxing ring, which ended with [[John-117]] accidentally killing two ODSTs, one of whom was [[Langston]], and severely injuring another two.<ref name="HTT03"/> At some point in his ODST career, he lost an arm and it was replaced with an [[artificial limb]]. He served with the military for fifteen years.<ref name="HTT07"/>

By [[2558]], Petrosky had retired from UNSC service. After retiring, his quality of life decreased as the benefits veterans received on his planet were poor. He claimed to always be one missed check away from living on the streets and he could only afford to eat canned proteins. [[Benjamin Giraud]], as part of his investigation into the history of the Master Chief, found Petrosky through the conspiracy theorist [[Mshak Moradi]]. Although Petrosky was not in the list of approved sources from [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], Giraud contacted him through [[Chatter]]net and interviewed him. Petrosky's recollection of the events on the UNSC ''Atlas'' described John-117 as a "monster" who had undergone [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|genetic augmentations]] at the age of thirteen. Although Giraud questioned the underlying ethical concerns in the [[SPARTAN-II program]] implicated in that suspicion, Petrosky insisted what he saw was genuine, and it did not make a difference to him whether Giraud believed him or not.<ref name="HTT03"/> Giraud later contacted Petrosky again, who revealed that he heard rumors of ONI kidnapping children in order to conscript them into the SPARTAN-II program and then biologically augmenting them to turn the candidates into supersoldiers. Petrosky admitted that he did not care if ONI retaliated because he leaked out the Spartan-IIs' origins, as he believed his life could not get worse.<ref name="HTT07"/>

Several days later, at "[[FERO]]"'s persuasion, Giraud contacted Petrosky again and asked if he would like to help bring down ONI. Petrosky agreed and Giraud told him his plan, which involved revealing ONI's child conscription acts before the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Unified Earth Government senate|senate]].<ref name="HTT08">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 08: DRIP, DRIP, DRIP''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
Fifteen years of military service led to Petrosky becoming cynical. His planet's lack of veterans' benefits led to Petrosky constantly living in poor conditions, claiming his house was worse than a shelter and that he was always on the verge from being homeless. His poor living conditions led to him believing that his life could not be any worse. Petrosky developed disdain for the [[UNSC]], believing that he did not owe them any loyalty or any responsibilities to remain quiet about the things he had witnessed.<ref name="HTT07"/>

He believed that the [[Spartan-IIs]] were freaks and in-[[human]]. He claimed that he did not know what the Spartans truly were, but he did not think they were heroes. Despite this, he did not blame the Spartans or the Master Chief, even for the incident that happened on {{UNSCShip|Atlas}}. Instead, he blamed the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for kidnapping the children and "programming" them to follow ONI's demands. He also considered [[Franklin Mendez]] to be a "sadist CPO" who wanted to test out the John's combat abilities by having him attack the ODSTs aboard ''Atlas''.<ref name="HTT07"/>

==Production note==
Petrosky is portrayed by American actor [[Wikipedia:Troy Baker|Troy Baker]] in ''[[Hunt the Truth]]''.<ref>[http://news.xbox.com/2015/05/games-hunt-the-truth-podcast-episode-8 '''Xbox Wire''': ''Halo 5: Guardians #HuntTheTruth - Has the Master Chief Gone AWOL?'']</ref>

-By [[2558]], Petrosky had retired from UNSC service. After retiring, his quality of life decreased as the benefits veterans received on his planet were poor.

When the senate meeting started, FERO patched Giraud through and he introduced himself. Giraud stated the reason for the announcement and then played Petrosky's statement. Giraud then told the senate of the kidnappings, cloning, training and biological augmentations that the SPARTAN-II program comprised of, just before the feed was cut.{{Ref/Audio|HtT|Season=1|Episode 09: Phantoms}}

-Petrosky was called on by Giraud again to aid him in exposing ONI live on [[ECB News]] to which Petrosky agreed.{{Ref/Audio|HtT|Season=1|Episode 12: Full Payload}} During the live broadcast, Petrosky was patched through to ECB News and instead of telling the truth, he stated that he was undercover and trying to gather information on an [[insurrectionist]] group bent on starting civil war between colonies by smearing the Master Chief. Giraud, knowing that ONI was coercing him into lying, begged him to tell the truth, but his mic got cut. Petrosky then stated he had never witnessed the events on the UNSC ''Atlas'' nor ever met John-117, and he just dramatized old military ghost stories that no one believed. After this, Petrosky signed off.{{Ref/Audio|HtT|Season=1|Episode 13: In the Bag}}
