'''Kai-A019''' was a [[SPARTAN-III]] supersoldier of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]].{{Ref/Reuse|BoaS}} 

==Biography==
Kai was orphaned as a child due to [[human|humanity]]'s prolonged [[Human-Covenant War|war]] with the [[Covenant]] and became one of four hundred and ninety-seven such war orphans recruited for [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|the first company]] of [[Spartan-III]]s.<ref name="HGOO6">''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', ''Chapter 6''</ref> On [[2532#December|December 27, 2532]] Kai and the rest of the children were brought to the planet [[Onyx]] in the [[Zeta Doradus system]]. Multiple [[D77-TC Pelican]]s touched down on the parade ground at [[Camp Currahee]] at around 1953 hours to unload the recruits, who streamed out of the dropships at the behest of Senior Chief Petty Officer [[Franklin Mendez]] and were met by [[Lieutenant]] [[Kurt Ambrose]]. When the [[Mjolnir]]-clad [[Spartan-II]] first spoke, his voice carried by the camp's public address system, the children stopped moving and fell silent, amazed by the armored giant. As they crowded before him Kurt offered them the chance to become like him so that they might destroy the Covenant. He noted, however, that only three hundred slots were ultimately available and that the process of determining who would fill that roster would began that night. Mendez then ordered the children back onto the [[Pelican]]s and they each proceeded to shuffle aboard, after only some hesitation. After they were airborne once again each recruit was given a [[Falcon Wing aerial descent unit]] and told to jump from their [[dropship]]'s rear bay if they wanted to be a [[Spartan]]. Following this, those who had jumped were recovered.{{Ref/Reuse|HGOO6}}

Alpha Company was trained from that point on by Lieutenant Ambrose and CPO Mendez at the Camp Curahee complex.<ref name="HOSFM84">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', ''page 84''</ref> The regimen mirrored that of the [[Spartan-II]]s', with intensive physical conditioning and education conducted by hand-picked trainers and multiple on-site A.I.s. All training and indoctrination emphasized the significance of achieving objectives at any cost and a willingness to sacrifice for the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFM84}} In [[2536]] Kai underwent the requisite Spartan [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|augmentations]], carried out aboard the {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}}.<ref name="HOSFM85">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', ''page 85''</ref><ref name="BOAS">''[[Birth of a Spartan]]''</ref> Only around sixty percent of the four hundred and ninety-seven were considered to have been augmented successfully, but this did not automatically disqualify "failures" from being deployed regardless.{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFM85}} Alpha Company graduated in 2536 and by October 16 of that year the three-hundred chosen to form its final incarnation had been selected and [[Operation: FIREBRAND|deployed]].{{Ref/Reuse|HOSFM84}}<ref name="HGOO8">''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', ''Chapter 8''</ref><ref name="WaypointJun-A266">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/jun-a266 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Jun-A266'']</ref>

==Fate==
{{Conjecture}}He is assumed to be [[Killed In Action|KIA]] along with the rest of Alpha Company during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', Chapter 8, ''page 88''</ref> However, this is under the assumption that he was not pulled out of Alpha Company prior to serve in a similar role as Carter-A259 and other Mjolnir-armored Spartan-IIIs.
