By military convention he would be given the "Actual" descriptor to distinguish him from the team he commanded. He is, however, referred to as '''Beta ''Romeo'' Actual''' during the ''Spire'' conversation.</ref> He was the leader of [[Team Beta]], a splinter of [[Red Team]], during the [[Fall of Reach]] in the summer of [[2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|radio conversations]]</ref>

== Fall of Reach ==
On August 30<sup>th</sup>, 2552, Red Team was deployed to the surface of [[Reach]] from the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}}. After their Pelican dropship, ''[[Bravo 001]]'', was shot down, the SPARTANs were forced to make a high-altitude jump to the ground, killing four of them. Upon regrouping, [[Frederic-104]] divided Red Team into four splinter groups, including the eleven-member Team Beta. 

Team Beta was then assigned to defend one of the planet's [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. As a force of thirty-two Covenant [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]] and 260 infantry advanced toward a UNSC position, Beta Red Actual ordered his team to move forward and engage the attackers in close combat. After the SPARTANs broke the Covenant assault wave, Beta Red Actual instructed Gamma 1, another UNSC operator, to withdraw his forces from the area. As the SPARTANs defended against two armored divisions, three [[Covenant cruiser]]s emerged from cloak and headed toward the UNSC position. 

The {{UNSCship|Majestic}} was then ordered by [[Central Command]] to bombard the approaching Covenant forces. The ''Majestic'' fired six [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds onto the target area. Beta Red Actual, as well as all the other members of Team Beta, were killed in the blast.
