'''Li''' is a [[Spartan-II]] super soldier; one of the least known of the [[Spartan]]s thus far. He is not mentioned until after [[The Battle of Reach]]. He was one of the zero-gravity combat specialists in the Spartan group. He had trained extensively with microgravity equipment and martial arts at the [[UNSC]]'s extreme-conditions facility on [[Chiron]] over Mars.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 219.</ref> 



==Biography==

===Early Childhood===

He was abducted at age six inside [[2517]], after he was singled out as intellectually and genetically superior by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. He trained on the surface of [[Reach]] along with the rest of the Spartans, by [[Deja]] and [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]].

===Career===

In [[2552]], he was briefly aboard the ''[[Pillar of Autumn|UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'', when he was assigned to [[Spartan-104|Fredric-104]]'s team by [[John-117]]. As he and his team descended to the surface of Reach to defend the orbital [[MAC]] gun generators, their [[Pelican]] dropship, [[Bravo 001]], was shot down. Li then regrouped with the rest of the Spartans, and was assigned to "Team Gamma" by Frederic, along with [[Spartan-044|Anton-044]] and [[Spartan-093|Grace-093]]. Their objective was to rescue [[Admiral Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]].<ref>[[First Strike]] page 24.</ref> The group was successful in rescuing Whitcomb, but Fredric-104 ordered them to stay in hiding because their fall back point was hot with Covenant activity.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 111-112</ref>

Anton, Grace, Li, and Whitcomb were forced to retreat to [[Camp Independence]] for three weeks, where they attacked the enemy with hit-and-run techniques. They also broadcasted [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]] on the [[COM|UNSC E-Band]], until the signal was picked up by [[Cortana]] and John aboard the captured ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 156.</ref> Shortly thereafter, John took a team in a [[Spirit]] and rescued them. <ref>[[First Strike]] page 173.</ref> 

The group then followed the Covenant to the subterranean remains of [[CASTLE Base]].<ref>[[First Strike]] page 182.</ref> Admiral Whitcomb ordered Li to stay behind on the dropship and protect [[Petty Officer Second Class]] [[Polaski]] while the rest of the group saved Fredric-104's team.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 186.</ref> All of them returned to the ''Ascendant Justice/[[Gettysburg]]'' and initiated a [[Slipspace]] jump.

===Death===

However, the [[Forerunner Crystal]] artifact altered Slipspace, creating an anomalous [[Slipspace]] bubble in which the ''Ascendant Justice'' became trapped<ref>[[First Strike]] page 211.</ref>. Surviving [[Elite]] crew members of the ship sabotaged the main power conduit of the ship, forcing Li, John, Fredric, Anton, Grace and [[Spartan-043|William-043]] to go out onto the surface of the ship and repair the conduit.<ref>[[First Strike]] page 218.</ref> 

They succeeded in fixing the conduit, but a renegade plasma bolt struck the ship, destroying the dropship during the repair and killing Li, Anton, and Polaski. <ref>[[First Strike]] page 223.</ref>
