| '''Master Sergeant Lister''' was an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. He was a high-ranking [[non-commissioned officer]] assigned to the [[battalion]] led by [[Major (UNICOM)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF4|HTF|Chapter=4}}

| ==Biography==
| | '''Master Sergeant Lister''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[ODST]]. He is a high-ranking [[Non-commissioned officer]] assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]'s unit. When the vessel was shot down above [[Installation 04]], he "[[Helljumper|helljumps]]" to the surface along with the rest of the [[ODSTs]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Page 36</ref> |
| ===Battle of Installation 04===
| | |
| {{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
| | Due to the shortage of officers in the surviving units, Lister is chosen to be an [[ODST]] [[platoon]] commander, replacing [[Second Lieutenant]] [[Dalu]], who had been reassigned as the supply officer of Alpha Base. Lister headed 2nd Platoon of [[McKay]]'s forces.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Page 148</ref> He was every bit as in charge as the other officers of the [[company]], such as [[Second Lieutenant]] [[Oros]]. |
| Lister was one of many ODSTs stationed on the ''Autumn'' in [[2552#August|August 2552]], when the ship was able to escape the [[Fall of Reach]] and emerge over [[Installation 04]]. Lister was able to survive the [[Landing on Installation 04|ODST deployment]] onto the ring, and ultimately called upon to fill the role of commanding [[B Company (Pillar of Autumn)|B Company's]] [[2nd Platoon (Pillar of Autumn)|2nd Platoon]]. On the night of September 19, 2552, 2nd Platoon CO [[Dalu]] had been reassigned to act as a supply officer for a [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|raid]] on ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', requiring Lister to step in to fill Dalu's role for a [[Raid on the Pillar of Autumn|simultaneous attack]] on the downed ''Pillar of Autumn''. On the evening prior to the attack, Lister was charged with inspecting the assembled troops at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] before being tasked with leading 2nd Platoon on a march to the ''Pillar of Autumn'', situated around a kilometre from the base.{{Ref/Reuse|TF4}} | |
|
| |
|
| Following the successful assault on the cruiser, Lister and 2nd Platoon were tasked with keeping the [[Covenant]] forces still inside the ''Pillar of Autumn'' penned in and sealed away from the hangar and cargo storage areas to allow the ODST force to loot the ship unopposed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF5|HTF|Chapter=5}} With the convoy's return trip back to Alpha Base, Lister and 2nd Platoon were tasked with manning the force's [[M808B Scorpion]] tanks, in which Lister took the callsign of ''Green One'', and relayed orders to the other tanks throughout the engagement.{{Ref/Reuse|TF6}}
| | He headed a column of four [[Scorpion Tanks]] during the supply convoy from the ''[[Autumn]]'' to Alpha Base. He later assisted in the defense of that base from the infiltration of [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s group of [[SpecOps Elites]] aboard [[Charlie 217]]. |
|
| |
|
| Lister was later involved in the [[Battle of Alpha Base|defense of Alpha Base]], and was one of the first Marines to reach the base's [[landing pad]]s after the start of the attack.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF8|HTF|Chapter=8}} Later on, he was involved in an attempted [[Battle_of_Installation_04#Ambush_on_the_Covenant|ambush]] on Covenant forces and came face-to-face with the [[Flood]] for the first time. During the engagement, Lister came into close contact with a [[Flood carrier form]], which was able to explode with force enough to knock him over.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF10|HTF|Chapter=10}} Following discovery of the buildup of a Flood force preparing to attack Alpha Base, Lister was tasked to lead a team underneath the base to investigate the disturbance while engineers prepared a solution to seal the gap.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF11|HTF|Chapter=11}}
| | When the [[Flood]] attacked, he stood too close to a [[Carrier Form]] and was "knocked on his can" by the explosion, according to [[McKay]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 271</ref> It is then referenced that he has a very tough personality and physical structure, as "the Marines like the sound of something that could put Lister off his feet". |
|
| |
|
| Lister ultimately survived this short engagement,{{Ref/Reuse|TF11}} though was presumably killed by the time of the destruction of Installation 04 on September 22, alongside all other UNSC forces on the ring.
| | He finally managed to survive up until the [[ODST]]s take over the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. He then died with the rest of the men when [[McKay]] severed the fiber optic cable linking the controls to the engines of the vessel, destroying the ship.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Page 332</ref> |
