'''Mark-G313''' | '''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}} | ||

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}} | 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]].

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}} | 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]].

*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 seemingly has a big head, which was remarked upon by his teammates in a joking manner.

*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.
