==Biography==
One of the few cadets from [[Earth]], Chen attended the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] as a freshman of [[Hastati Squad]]. Chen's academic performance at Corbulo was exemplary, and he was a keen participant in lectures.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Part 2'''</ref> Although he stated that he was most comfortable with the field exercises and not as engaged by the technical subjects,<ref name="interview">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/fud '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Forward Unto Dawn Special Edition - JJ Chen Interview'']</ref> his scores in combat training were considered sub-par, which he blamed on his maverick squadmate [[Thomas Lasky]]. Like almost everyone in the squad he shunned Lasky, considering him an "[[Insurrectionist|Innie]]-lover" for being somewhat sympathetic to Insurrectionist aims.<ref name="part1">'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Part 1'''</ref>

Chen's attendance in the academy was largely due to the wishes of his parents. His mother had died five years earlier and he enrolled in the academy at his father's insistence.{{Ref/Reuse|wp jj}} Junjie's father had high expectations for his son's future and he would often message him while he was at Corbulo in response to his performance. Chen took his father's advice to heart, but could be distressed if he felt he had not lived up to his father's expectations.{{Ref/Reuse|part1}} Although he had prepared himself for the rigorous physical training beforehand, he considered the emotional stress the most challenging aspect of his life in the academy.{{Ref/Reuse|interview}}

During the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Circinius IV|invasion of Circinius IV]] in [[2526]], Hastati Squad was to be evacuated via the Academy's [[space elevator]]. However, after the [[Covenant]]'s destruction of the tether, the squad was caught in the battle between [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] and the [[Covenant military]]. The squad attempted to escape to the Academy's [[armory]] with Chen taking point. However, after moving a short distance Chen stopped, realizing that an [[active camouflage]]d [[Sangheili Zealot]] was standing immediately in front of him. The Zealot impaled Chen with his [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]], killing him instantly.<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Part 4'''</ref>

==Trivia==
Chen had never experienced [[cryonics|cryo-sleep]] before Corbulo Academy's cryo training began,<ref>'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Cryo]]'''</ref> despite having traveled from Earth to Circinius IV.

==Production notes==
Chen is portrayed by Canadian actor [[Wikipedia:Osric Chau|Osric Chau]].
