===Battle of Mombasa===
[[File:H2A Beach - Taking Cover.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Butkus and his squad taking cover.]]
{{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
During the [[Battle for Earth]], his squad was dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} to relieve the ground forces. Their [[D77-TC Pelican]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a [[Type-47A Scarab]] walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant]] patrol. He was nearly killed by a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], but Butkus managed to just avoid the shot. A [[Special Operations Sangheili]] then tried to sneak up on him with a [[Type-1 energy sword]]. Butkus' rifle was destroyed and he himself narrowly dodged the attack and fell to the ground, picking up a [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] and charging it. As the Sangheili took [[Fones]] hostage, Butkus was able to shoot the Sangheili and save his squadmate. His squad then met up with [[John-117]] and helped him to chase down and destroy the Scarab.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}
During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Butkus and his squad, led by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]], were dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} to infiltrate the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}} ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' with [[John-117]]. Their [[D77-TC Pelican]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}. Butkus survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant]] patrol. While taking point, Butkus was nearly killed by a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], but he managed to just evade the shot. After his squadmate [[Walpole]] took down the sniper, a cloaked [[Sangheili]] tried to sneak up on Butkus with an [[energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]]. Butkus' rifle was bisected and he himself narrowly dodged the attack and fell to the ground, picking up an {{Pattern|Eos'Mak|plasma pistol}} and overcharging it. When the Sangheili took Walpole hostage, Butkus fired an overcharged shot at the Sangheili, disabling its energy shields, allowing his fellow ODST to kill the Sangheili with a headshot. Along with the rest of his squad, Butkus defended [[Hotel Zanzibar]], then met up with John-117.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}


==Production notes==
He is presumed to be alive, since his CO [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Stacker]] had returned to ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' afterward, although he and other members of Stacker's squad weren't mentioned later.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}
*Butkus is named after the [[Bungie]] employee [[John Butkus]]. He worked on the animations and cinematics for ''[[Halo 2]]'', including ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''.<ref>''[[Halo 2: Killtacular]]''</ref>
 
*Butkus used a plasma pistol to take down a Sangheili's shields, followed by a Battle Rifle burst from [[Fones]] (Stacker in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''). This is commonly referred to as the [[Noob Combo]].
