'''M. Fitzgerald''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. 
==History==
When the crashed vessel arrived at [[Installation 04]] in [[2552]], Fitzgerald evacuated from the ship in the same [[Bumblebee]] lifeboat as [[Sergeant Johnson]] and [[Fireteam Charlie]]. When [[Echo 419]] evacuated the Fire Team, Fitzgerald volunteered to accompany the [[Master Chief]] in his [[Warthog]] to search for the other [[Bumblebee]] Lifepods. Fitzgerald introduced himself to the [[Master Chief|Chief]] enthusiastically.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 72</ref> 

While in their search for surviving [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and [[UNSC Navy|Navy personnel]], he was wounded in the arm by a shot from a [[Needler]], after that, [[Master Chief|Chief]] ordered him to man his position and keep fire until he returned.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 81</ref> He took cover behind the [[Warthog]] and waited until the [[Master Chief]] was able to treat his wound with [[Self-Sealing-Biofoam]]. He continued to man the LAAG and survived the fight to return to [[Alpha Base]] with the [[Master Chief|Chief]]. He was possibly killed in the [[Battle of Installation 04]], probably either when [[First Lieutenant|1stLt.]] [[Melissa McKay]] destroyed the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' to keep the [[Flood]] from getting out into the universe or when [[Installation 04]] was destroyed.

==Quotes==
*"Sure, [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]]. All right (ladies), volunteers step up on the double! The rest of you, get to the [[D77-TC Pelican|Dropship]]." - When [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] asked for a few men to support the [[Master Chief]], level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]]. This can also be said by [[Sergeant Johnson]] if he wasn't killed.
*"This [[Bumblebee|lifeboat]] is trashed, [[Master Chief|Chief]]. There are weapons and supplies but...no bodies." - By the fourth [[Bumblebee]].
*"The [[Bumblebee|lifeboat]]'s totaled sir. There are weapons and supplies everywhere, but I can't find any bodies. Maybe somebody made out of here alive." 
*"The lifeboat's trashed [[Master Chief|Chief]]. There are weapons and supplies all over the place. Where's the bodies though?"

==Trivia==
*Fitzgerald was never mentioned again after [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]], including [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes']] search for the weapons cache.
*Fitzgerald was the only Marine to ride on a Warthog when attached to a Pelican.
*As Johnson's squad did not have any known Corporals, it is assumed Fitzgerald was his second-in-command, although PFC Jenkins held the same rank.
*It is unknown what happened to Fitzgerald and whether or not he survived his wounds.
