'''Isaac-039''' was a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] supersoldier. He was a friend of [[Vinh-030]].

==Biography==
===Early childhood===
Isaac was conscripted with 74 other children into the SPARTAN-II program in [[2517]]. He was abducted from his home and replaced with a [[Flash cloning|flash clone]]. He was then taken to [[Reach]], where he was trained with the rest of the SPARTAN-II candidates by the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]].

===Fall of Reach===
{{main|Fall of Reach}}
During the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|Summer 2552]], he was assigned to [[Red Team]], under the command of [[Frederic-104]]. As part of Red Team, Isaac was assigned to defend the planetside [[orbital defense generator|generators]] that supplied power to the [[orbital defense platform]]s. As Red Team descended, their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]], ''[[Bravo 001]]'', was attacked by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Seraph]]s, killing [[Mitchell|the pilot]] and forcing the SPARTANs to jump from the craft. Both of Isaac's arms were dislocated, which hampered his fighting ability severely.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 14''</ref>

He was then assigned to [[Team Delta]], under the command of [[William-043]], to secure the SPARTANs' fallback position in [[CASTLE Base]]. Vinh, Will, and Isaac were separated from the surviving [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] of [[Charlie Company]], but they eventually arrived at CASTLE Base.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 116''</ref> They were unable to enter the facility until Fred and [[Kelly-087|Kelly]] met with them and Kelly whispered the [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]] code into the entrance's speakerbox.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 118''</ref> Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], the creator of the SPARTAN-II program, then opened the door for them. Isaac was treated by Dr. Halsey and sent to survey the facility's perimeter defenses along with Vinh. This proved unnecessary however, as the Covenant attacked immediately.

===Disappearance===
Vinh, Isaac, Fred, Kelly, Will, and Dr. Halsey were trapped under CASTLE Base on Reach for several days after Halsey initiated [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]] to destroy the base and keep it from falling into enemy hands. Isaac was able to upgrade his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] with parts salvaged from the base. He received a new image-enhancing computer that was in the process of being field-tested and had yet to be certified. After Fred discovered a massive room containing a strange [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner crystal|crystal]], the crystal sent a massive radiation spike that allowed the Covenant to triangulate the group's position.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 146''</ref> A Covenant [[Gravity lift]] quickly appeared, and Isaac and Vinh were ordered to take a rearguard position. Isaac and Vinh dropped back and opened fire until the group retreated toward a nearby tunnel, after which the two Spartans dropped [[satchel charge]]s to cover the group's tracks. The charges prematurely detonated, causing Isaac and Vinh to disappear. They could not be raised on the [[COM]]. In accordance with [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[ONI Directive 930|protocol]], Isaac was listed as [[missing in action]], but is presumed [[killed in action]].
