'''Mark-G313''' was a [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III supersoldier]] of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]]. Originally assigned to [[Team Saber]] as a marksman, he served as part of [[Blue Team]] following the [[Onyx Conflict]]<ref name="blue">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 383''</ref> until [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]] in [[2553#July|July 2553]], when he was reassigned to an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Ferret|Ferret Team]] led by [[Veta Lopis]] along with fellow Gamma Spartans [[Ash-G099]] and [[Olivia-G291]], with Mark serving as the team's security specialist.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}} While stopping the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] from firing the [[Halo Array]], Mark was killed by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]] who snapped Mark's neck. By this point, Mark had already suffered mortal wounds and died buying his team - his family - time to escape.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|DW}} He was given a burial in space by the other Ferrets and the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.{{Ref/Reuse|DWEpilogue}}

==Biography==
===Conscription===
Mark was orphaned at a young age by the [[Covenant]] and was conscripted into the Gamma Company of the SPARTAN-III program at age six.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}} Once on [[Onyx]], he and the other Spartan candidates were trained by [[Lieutenant Commander|LCDR]] [[Kurt Ambrose]], [[Senior Chief Petty Officer|SCPO]] [[Franklin Mendez]], as well as the surviving [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] members, [[Petty Officer, Second Class|PO2]] [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Petty Officer, Second Class|PO2]] [[Tom-B292]] at [[Camp Currahee]]. Mark was assigned to [[Team Saber]] under the command of [[Ash-G099]].

===Onyx Conflict===
====Zone 67====
When the human forces on Onyx came under attack by [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]], the teams were still vying for top honors. Team Saber went dangerously close to [[Zone 67]] to avoid the other teams. The team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of [[Covenant]] drone due to its [[Energy shielding|energy shields]] and [[anti-gravity technology]] it possessed.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 117-119''</ref> They decided to investigate and the Sentinels engaged. Mark remained with the team as they tried to figure out the weak spots of the drones. He and the rest of the team hurled rocks at the drones and to their surprise, the drone's shields did not activate. The Sentinel chased Ash into a hole and Mark and the rest of the team pummeled the drone with huge rocks, destroying it.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 130-135''</ref>

A general decision was made and the Team moved to the armory to get heavier armaments. Team Saber met up with Commander Ambrose, Chief Mendez, as well as PO2 Tom and Lucy and they spent several days fighting the Sentinels using guerrilla tactics. Mark and the team later met up with [[Petty Officer, Second Class]] [[Kelly-087]] and [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and were subsequently engaged by a pair of Sentinels. After the skirmish, Mark and the rest of the Spartans took Dr. Halsey and Kelly to a bombed-out bunker where Halsey revealed the origin of the Sentinels and what to do next.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 170-176''</ref>

====Team Katana====
After the team destroyed the two Sentinels and the overwatch position at [[Camp Currahee]], they moved back to Zone 67. After making their way through an excavated Forerunner city, they discovered Onyx's [[Cartographer|map room]], where they learned that Onyx was an artificial construct, as well as pinpointing the location of [[Team Katana]]. Before recovering Team Katana, however, AI [[Endless Summer]] sent them on a mission in a [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] to make sure no more Sentinels were produced. Mark and Team Saber played a key role in destroying the factory, using its [[teleportation grid]] to their advantage.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 313-324''</ref> Later, they moved out to discover Team Katana and found them in [[slipspace field pod]]s. However, the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] knew the location of the two teams and were advancing towards their position with four [[legion]]s of [[Sangheili]], [[Mgalekgolo]], and other soldiers, as well as armored vehicles.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 341-343''</ref>

====End of the battle====
The humans fell back to a [[Slipspace portal|portal]] which led to Onyx's interior [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world]], located within a [[Core room antechamber|massive room]] in Onyx's core, where they soon found themselves surrounded by the Covenant. Mark and the other Spartans formed a loose half-circle "killzone" around the portal and picked off targets at close and long range. They managed to defend the entrance to the shield, although it had come at some serious losses.<ref name="goo360">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 360-372''</ref> [[William-043]], [[Dante-G188]], and [[Holly-G003]] had already been killed by the advancing Covenant army. Due to little time left, Commander Ambrose ordered Team Saber through the portal before it closed. Soon after, Dr. Halsey and the surviving Spartans entered the portal. On the other side of the rift, Mark awaited Kurt's arrival, but he never came, having given life by detonating a pair of [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s to prevent the Covenant from following them.{{Ref/Reuse|goo360}}

====Shield world====
{{quote|Welcome to Blue, Spartans. We're going to make a great team.|[[Kelly-087]] welcoming the Spartan-IIIs to Blue Team}}
Once Mark, Dr. Halsey, and the other Spartans were safely inside the Dyson sphere that lay beyond the portal, they made gravestones for Kurt Ambrose, William-043, Dante-G188, and Holly-G003.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> After the ceremony, Mark and the other Spartan-IIIs were reassigned to [[Blue Team]] by [[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] [[Frederic-104]] and [[Petty Officer, Second Class]] [[Kelly-087]].{{Ref/Reuse|blue}}

Mark and the other survivors then proceeded to explore the vast construct, soon establishing base camp in a Forerunner structure. A group of [[Huragok]], discovered by Lucy-B091, eventually helped them bring the sphere out of its slipspace bubble into normal space, and an [[Kilo-Five|ONI team]] was dispatched to retrieve them. The few days the survivors had stayed inside the [[slipspace bubble]] turned out to equal over three months in normal space-time, and as such they returned to normal space in [[2553#February|February 2553]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 382-389''</ref> Mark and the others were taken to [[Earth]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} for a debriefing in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 401''</ref>

Following their recovery from the shield world, Mark and the other survivors of Team Saber continued to serve with Blue Team on a number of missions.<ref name="hll">'''Halo: Last Light'''</ref>

===Gao===
{{Main|Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE}}
In [[2553#May|May 2553]], Blue Team was attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|deployed]] to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] to search for a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]], [[Intrepid Eye]], that had been detected on the planet by the battalion's [[Commander]] [[Murtag Nelson]]. The UNSC's presence on the planet was largely undesired by the traditionally independent Gao. For over a month, the UNSC attempted to capture the ancilla, who, in turn, regularly harassed the 717th with her [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Additionally, upon learning of the UNSC's intentions, Intrepid Eye began covertly murdering Gao citizens in the [[Montero Cave System]] in an effort to create discord between the Gaos and the UNSC. The [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] dispatched [[Special inspector|Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] to find the murderer and Nelson had members of Blue Team aid her in her efforts to allow the UNSC to return searching for the ancilla without the Gaos' interference. Lopis was initially convinced that the murderer was one of the Spartans, with Mark in particular eventually drawing her suspicions due to his often standoffish and ruthless behavior.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

====Journey in the dark====
{{Quote|You don't think one of us could tear the arm off some civilian? After you saw what Olivia just did?|Mark commenting on the Gammas' physical prowess to [[Veta Lopis]] after Olivia destroyed a Sentinel bare-handed<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 137'' (Google Play edition)</ref>}}
On [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Mark, Ash, Olivia, and Fred accompanied Lopis and her partner [[Cirilo]] to the last known location of [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] and [[Private]] [[Hayes]], both of whom turned out to have been murdered. The Gao investigators decided to follow a trail of an unidentified fluid—in fact belonging to the wounded [[Huragok]] [[Roams Alone]]—deeper into the caves, with the Spartans coming along. As they reached a large cavern, after nearly a twelve hours' descent, Intrepid Eye attacked the humans with her last four remaining Sentinels. Though the Spartans were able to destroy the Sentinels, Cirilo was killed and Olivia was seriously wounded. Ordering the others to stay put and leaving Mark in charge, Fred left to investigate a nearby pit in hopes of finding the [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner base]] sought by the UNSC. While waiting for Fred, the Spartans and Lopis were approached by Roams Alone, a [[Lifeworker]] Huragok who began to heal Olivia's wounds. Fred eventually returned and decided that the party should take the Huragok with them, return to the surface and report to Commander Nelson.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

Olivia had lost her "Smoothers"—drugs that controlled the Gammas' [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM#Gamma Company|altered brain chemistry]]—during the fighting, meaning that the young Spartans would run out of them on the way out. Mark volunteered to take only one of the remaining five Smoother injections, leaving two doses each for Ash and Olivia, and took point as the group began their nearly one and a half day's climb toward the surface. As Mark scouted ahead, he encountered [[Jiralhanae]] of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], who had landed on Gao seeking to take Intrepid Eye for themselves. Mark stealthily killed many of the Jiralhanae, leaving behind a trail of bodies. He eventually lost contact with the rest of the group, seemingly beginning to unravel mentally due to his lack of Smoothers. At one point, however, he emerged to save Lopis from an attacking Jiralhanae, though he would continue to scout ahead on his own as the party continued toward the surface.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

====Battle for Wendosa====
[[File:HM-Gao.png|thumb|right|250px|Mark-G313 sniping in [[Wendosa]] during Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/774750484225781760 '''Twitter''': ''Jeff Easterling'']</ref>]]
After another twelve hours, the group eventually reached the [[Gallery of the Inverted Forest]] where Fred managed to capture Intrepid Eye's [[inspection drone]] shell with a [[scramble grenade]]. The group surfaced at the embattled village of [[Wendosa]] and proceeded to reinforce the 717th, which had fallen under attack by the Keepers. During the ensuing battle, Mark encountered Marine Sergeant [[Nguyen]] and, believing him to be an enemy infiltrator due to his paranoid state caused by his Smoother deprivation, Mark took the sergeant hostage and held a [[combat knife]] to his throat. However, Fred was able to convince Mark to release the Marine, who informed Fred that he was to return to the [[Montero Vitality Center]] with the ancilla. The group fought their way through Wendosa and Fred boarded a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]], but the craft was shot down and crashed in the jungle several [[kilometer]]s away.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

With the battle in Wendosa turning to the UNSC's favor, Mark and the others reunited with the rest of Blue Team, who soon decided to make their way to the Falcon's crash site before the Keepers could reach it. With access to Smoothers again, the Gammas' mental condition was stabilized. After a series of sniper battles along the [[Briones Ridge]], the group arrived at the crash site. With the eventual help of [[Alpha Company (717th)|Alpha Company]], they fended off the Keepers and recovered Fred as well as the ancilla. The Spartans were brought to the [[Montero Vitality Center]] to recover, although Mark would soon go on patrol with the rest of Blue Team while Ash and Olivia stayed in the Vitality Center.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

====Escape====
{{Quote|multi=yes|q1=What about you, Mark? Do you think this can work?|Veta Lopis|q2=Sure, Mom. Why not?|Mark|Veta Lopis and Mark-G313 on the formation of the Ferret Team{{Ref/Reuse|ll c28}}}}
Before the 717th could evacuate, the newly elected [[President of Gao]] [[Arlo Casille]] sent [[Gao Republic]]'s military to forcefully remove the UNSC from the planet. Determined to prevent the Forerunner support base from falling into the hands of Gao's insurgent government, Blue Team embarked to destroy the facility with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], while the rest of the 717th evacuated from the planet. Pursued by [[MV-29 Wyvern]]s carrying [[Gao battle-jumpers]], Blue Team and Lopis traveled in Warthogs to the [[Well of Echoes]], below which the Forerunner support base was located. At the Well of Echoes, the team boarded the [[D102 Owl]] {{UNSCShip|Silent Claw}}, with [[Serin Osman|Rear Admiral Serin Osman]] waiting on board. As the Owl lifted off, Mark was charged with dropping the HAVOK into the Well of Echoes and successfully did so, destroying the Forerunner base and around a dozen Wyverns caught in the nuclear explosion.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}

With Intrepid Eye successfully captured, the UNSC left Gao. Fearing that Gamma Company's illegal brain mutations would cause a crippling public relations scandal were they to be discovered, Osman had Mark, Ash, and Olivia officially marked as [[killed in action]] and transferred to a classified ONI [[Ferret]] field operative team of which she gave command of to Lopis.<ref name="ll c28">'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 28, ''pages 330-333'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

===ONI career===
In the following months, Mark, Ash, Olivia, and Veta Lopis underwent a training regimen to mold them into elite ONI operatives, with Mark being assigned as the Ferret Team's security specialist. While the Gammas were exceptionally quick to learn the new skills, their military background meant they would often instinctively fall back to lethal force in life-or-death situations. During this time, they visited multiple [[Human colonies|colonies]], rarely staying in one place for long; at one point they were stationed on [[Jastolo]], where Mark listened to a [[BuzzCast]] by investigative reporter [[Spencer Hume]], who blamed Spartans for a devastating incident on [[Tanuab III]]. Maintaining that the incident was instead caused by a meteor impact, Mark considered Hume a "shit-flinger" who was merely attempting to smear the Spartans' name.<ref name="ant">'''Halo: Fractures''', "A Necessary Truth"</ref>

====Neos Atlantis====
{{Quote|multi=yes|q1=Is that what happened, Spartan?|Osman|q2=Yes, ma'am, that's exactly what happened. And, Admiral, just to be clear... I'm a Ferret now.|Mark|Admiral Serin Osman and Mark-G313 after the incident is resolved{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}}}

On [[2553#October|October 14, 2553]], the Ferret Team participated in a training exercise against [[Oscar Squad]] at [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]] on [[Neos Atlantis]]. Disguised as junior ODST lieutenants, Mark and Ash posed as rookie ONI agents in the facility's [[officers' club]] as part of a ploy to deceive Oscar Squad. However, an unexpected complication occurred when Olivia was [[Nicothiotal|drugged]] by an unidentified man—in fact the reporter Spencer Hume, who attempted to coax her into revealing classified information about the Spartans. Lopis ordered Mark to arrest the man while Ash created a distraction and Veta escorted Olivia back to the hotel's Halsey Suite, which the team was using as their base of operations. While hauling the subject out of the club, Mark was attacked by one of the servers from the club who managed to wound him with a knife. By his own account, Mark intended to use Hume as a shield and struck him in the chest when he resisted, which unexpectedly killed Hume. At this point Ash arrived, prompting the attacker to flee.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}

Mark and Ash decided to dispose of Hume's body through an [[airlock]] and returned to the Halsey Suite afterward. Before they could explain the incident to Lopis, Admiral Osman arrived, accompanied by Oscar Squad's [[Svenson|Commander Svenson]], who had witnessed Mark and Ash carrying a body and demanded an explanation. Though Mark intended to reveal to Osman what had happened, Lopis ordered him to remain quiet and maintained that her team had done nothing wrong. The admiral then left the suite, giving the Ferret Team two hours to resolve the situation. The team soon discovered Hume's identity as well as that of Mark's assailant—a former ONI operative named [[Ota Gallo]], now working for the private security company [[Dark Moon Enterprises]]. Attempting to recover Hume's belongings, now in the Ferret Team's possession, Gallo and two of her henchmen stormed the Halsey Suite soon after. After a brief firefight, the Ferrets managed to defeat the attackers, with Gallo being blown apart by her own [[grenade]].{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}

Immediately after the attack, Admiral Osman returned to the suite with an [[ONI Security|armed escort]]. The admiral claimed Hume's personal effects and asked Lopis what had really happened to Hume. Lopis lied that Gallo killed Hume after the reporter was planning to name her as his source. Obviously incredulous yet seemingly accepting the explanation as being sufficiently believable, Osman sarcastically asked Mark to affirm Lopis' story, which he did without hesitation.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}}

====Assassination of Admiral Tuwa====
{{Main|Operation: RETRIBUTION}}
During the final stages of the Ferret team's training in early December 2553, UNSC Admiral [[Graselyn Tuwa]] was assassinated and her family abducted during an attack on the {{UNSCShip|Donoma}}. The Office of Naval Intelligence resolved to respond to the crisis with a swift retaliation, though not before they could identify the perpetrator and rescue the hostages. Lopis' Ferret team were summoned to an ongoing investigation of the carnage on the ''Donoma'' on December 8. Due to the nature of the attack, the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] were identified as the main suspects, and [[Serin Osman|Admiral Osman]] assigned the case to the Ferret team as their first actual mission. In the following days, Mark and the rest of the team were deployed undercover on [[Venezia]] to infiltrate the local underworld and attract the attention of the Keepers of the One Freedom, posing as a gunrunning crew interested in selling a collection of [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s.<ref>''Halo: Retribution'', Chapter 1-2</ref>

Mark-G313 has a remarkable ability to handle stress, with [[Ash-G099]] remarking he would only become more composed under increased pressure.<ref name="goo116">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 116''</ref> He has a wry, sometimes morbid sense of humor and is generally more aloof and detached than his peers. He is quite ruthless, tending to favor lethal action as a solution to most problems. Mark is very protective of his teammates, sometimes to the others' annoyance; during the incident on [[Neos Atlantis]], for example, he was convinced he alone should take the blame for his mistake, failing to realize the entire team would face the consequences if he revealed to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Osman]] what had become of [[Spencer Hume]]. With Mark seemingly considering the team's safety a matter of personal pride, Olivia and Ash would rein in his anger by distracting him with humor.{{Ref/Reuse|ant}} During Mark's eulogy, an emotional [[Veta Lopis]] stated that Mark had died protecting his team and she knew that he wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DWEpilogue|DW|Chapter=Epilogue}}

An exceptionally competent soldier,<ref name="ll152">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 152-154'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Mark is particularly noted for his marksmanship abilities for which he is nicknamed "The Mark" by his fellow Spartans. Although he is proficient with [[sniper rifle]]s, Ash considered him even more skilled with an [[assault rifle]] in a free-for-all scenario with an abundance of targets.{{Ref/Reuse|goo116}} He is also highly skilled in stealth and close-quarters combat, even for a Spartan, a fact noted by Fred-104 after Mark had stealthily killed numerous Jiralhanae during the crisis on Gao.{{Ref/Reuse|ll152}}

By [[2552#November|November 2552]] Mark kept his head shaved.{{Ref/Reuse|goo116}}

Mark developed a family relationship with his team, joining the other Gammas in calling Lopis "Mom." During his eulogy, Lopis stated that Mark was more than just a soldier and a Spartan-III: he was a son to Lopis and a brother to Ash and Olivia.{{Ref/Reuse|DWEpilogue}}

==Trivia==
*Mark seemingly has a big head, which was remarked upon by his teammates in a joking manner. According to [[Ash-G099]], its not just Mark's ego as Ash claimed to have tried on Mark's helmet and described it as being like wearing a ten-liter bucket. Mark was surprised when Ash told him this, suggesting that he didn't know.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[A Necessary Truth]]", ''page 275''</ref>
*Mark's armor, as depicted in ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo|Halo Mythos]]'', bears a notable similarity to a piece of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' concept art (shown below), an exploration of the game's Spartan-III design language. Notably, both images were painted by [[Isaac Hannaford]].
