"Ghost" was known among many UNSC Marines due to an engagement with [[Covenant]] forces that resulted in the deaths of his entire platoon. During that incident, a [[unidentified Marine (Ghost's platoon)|dying Marine]] asked Ghost to "be human" for once, as he had always come across as a cold-hearted, soulless individual. The Marine then died in his arms, and Ghost "died inside", crying out to the sky and vowing to avenge his fallen platoon.<ref name="Prototype"/> | |||

His armor's shielding failed and a [[plasma grenade]] severed his arm, disabling him. Seeing that the evacuation shuttles had escaped safely, Ghost commented on his newfound humanity before uttering the code to activate the armor's nuclear self-destruct feature: "Be human."
