===Human-Covenant War===
He was known among local Marines after an engagement with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces that left his entire platoon decimated. During that incident, a dying Marine asked Ghost to be human for once, as he came across as a cold-hearted, soulless individual. The Marine died in his arms, and Ghost "died inside", crying out into the sky and vowing to avenge his fallen platoon.
"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/Reuse|Prototype}}

Ghost was deployed with the [[Hades Corps]] to destroy navigational data and prototype weapons during the [[Algolis Invasion]], per the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. During the battle, he commandeered a set of [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|prototype powered armor]], apparently disregarding his given orders to destroy it. However, he insisted that he was performing his duty, and used the time left until [[self-destruct]] initiation to provide cover for the Marines' and civilians' extraction.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}}
Ghost was deployed with the Hades Corps to destroy navigation material and prototype weapons during the [[Battle of Algolis]], as per the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. At first it appeared that he had disobeyed orders to destroy a set of [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototype powered armor]] by joining the battle in it. However, he insisted that he was performing his duty by using the time left until self-destruct initiation to provide cover for the Marines' and civilians' extraction.


Ghost held off the Covenant forces long enough for a group of evacuation shuttles to escape but was eventually overwhelmed. His armor's shielding failed and a {{Pattern|Anskum|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." The resulting blast annihilated Ghost and the surrounding Covenant infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}}

The resulting blast annihilated Ghost and the surrounding Covenant infantry.


A Marine commanding officer in orbit above Algolis edited a log of the events, redacting requests for Ghost to be court-martialed, marking him as [[missing in action]], and stating that he had demonstrated great conduct as a Marine and as a human being.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}} News of his success and subsequent disappearance spread quickly, as the crew of the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] {{UNSCShip|The Heart of Midlothian}} were aware of his actions.{{Ref/Reuse|MiTHoM}}
