[[Edward Buck|Edward Malcolm Buck]] grew up with his family in [[Karnak]], [[Lombard]] on [[Draco III]].<ref name="NB2">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''Chapter 2''</ref>

==Biography==
Edward Buck and his young sister, Lucy, were born to working-class parents on Draco III.<ref name="waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/buck '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Buck'']</ref> Edward was born on [[2510|August 22, 2510]] at [[Draco Mercy]] in Draco III's capital city, [[New Albany]].<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''page 91'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Buck spent much of his life in the family's hometown of Karnak. Growing up, he never cared too much for school and spent most of his teenage summers apprenticing with his uncle Lou as a fisherman on Draco's [[Gold Sea]]. After a long day at sea attempting to catch [[naeori|octowhales]], his Uncle Lou would take him to [[Leeward's]] dive bar for some [[List of food and drinks|seafood chowder]]. When Buck turned eighteen in [[2528]], three years after the start of the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]], he enlisted in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. The night before he had to report to the UNSC for the first time, his father and uncle Lou threw him a going away party at Leeward's.

At some point prior to [[2545]], Buck's father was killed in a traffic accident.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''page 17'' (Google Play edition)</ref>{{Ref/Note|When entering a vehicle in ''Halo: Reach''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Firefight mode, Buck may sometimes say, ''"Hey hey! My father had one of these! It's how he died."'' While it is obvious that his father's vehicle was not of Covenant origin, this quote may be said when Buck enters any vehicle.}} In 2545, after an extended period of [[Cryo chamber|cryosleep]] during a [[slipstream space]] jump between [[Mars]] and [[Hardscrabble]], Buck learned of the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Draco III|attack]] on his homeworld. When the Covenant invaded the planet, starving [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]] slaughtered of all its citizens, including Buck's family and relatives. He regretted being unable to participate in the battle and then resolved to transfer to the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|NB2}}
