'''Checkman''' was an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. Between 2540 and 2552, he was assigned to [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]]' team aboard the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] [[unidentified UNSC destroyer (Heian)|''DD-933'']], along with [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]] and [[O'Brien (Heian)|O'Brien]].<ref name="Chronology"> Taylor H. Miles, who participated in the mission on Heian, enlisted in 2540, meaning the mission occurred during or after 2540. During the mission, Cal wore the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor]], which was replaced by the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] in November 2551.</ref> He and his squadmates were given the task of assassinating a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Prophet]] on a Covenant-held planet [[Heian]].

Like the rest of the squad, he was furious that a SPARTAN was placed in command of the mission.<ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''The Babysitter''</ref>
During the team's drop to Heian, his [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] collided with an asteroid and entered the atmosphere sideways. He died due to an improper entry into the atmosphere.

==Trivia==
*Checkman was voiced by Mark Adley.<ref> '''Halo Legends''','' credits''</ref>
*Checkman can be considered a "[[wikipedia:Redshirt (character)|redshirt]]" character, as he was created merely to be killed.

-'''Checkman''' was an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. In [[2544]],{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} he took part in [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] - a mission to assassinate a [[Covenant]] [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|logistics officer]] on [[Heian]]. Checkman was the first trooper killed in the mission, with his [[drop pod]] burning up on entry into Heian's atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|BS}}
-==Biography==
+{{Quote|We lost Checkman in the atmosphere.|Dutch}}
-In [[2544]],{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} Checkman was a part of a team of ODSTs in the [[105th Shock Troops Division]] led by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]], and containing troopers [[Taylor Miles|Taylor "Dutch" Miles]] and [[O'Brien (Heian)|O'Brien]] and serving aboard the {{Class|Diligence|destroyer}} {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}}. That year, ''Kronstadt'' was tasked with deploying the team to [[Heian]], in the [[Arc star cluster]], to hunt down and eliminate a [[San'Shyuum]] [[Minor Prophet|prophet]] in charge of the region's supply routes. The team's [[M8900 drop pod]]s were deployed in the midst of an a meteor shower to mask their approach, but Checkman's accidentally collided with one of the meteors - resulting in the pod entering the atmosphere sideways and burning up. As such, Checkman was killed before any of the team even made landfall on Heian.{{Ref/Reuse|BS}}

-As elaborated by [[Frank O'Connor]], Checkman's name is rather literal; ''check-man''. Had he survived the drop on Heian, he would have served to watch the team's back - which would have prevented the ambush by the [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|Brute Chieftain]] that ultimately resulted in [[Cal-141]]'s death.{{Ref/Site|Id=hbo|URL=http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=949763|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Re: Ignore these snotlings Frankie|Quote=As for them being stalked at the end - there's a few things in play: The mission has gone wrong twice, once when they lost Checkman in the atmosphere - who would have had their back ("Check-Man" geddit?)|D=04|M=08|Y=2024}}
