'''Staff Sergeant Marvin Mobuto''' was a [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] [[non-commissioned officer]] and the first [[Reclaimer]] during the [[Flood]] infestation on [[Installation 04]].<ref name="flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', '''2010''', ''page 264'', '''The Definitive Edition''', ''Page 273''</ref>
'''Staff Sergeant Marvin Mobuto''' was a [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] non-commissioned officer and most likely the first [[Reclaimer]] during the [[Flood]] infestation on [[Installation 04]].  


==Biography==
==Biography==
[[Staff Sergeant]] Mobuto participated in the [[Fall of Reach]], and was on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} when it made a blind Slipspace jump to escape from [[Reach]]. Since the ''Pillar of Autumn'' traveled directly from Reach to Halo, it can be assumed Mobuto was involved in the battle itself. However, his involvement during the conflict is unclear and unaccounted for. He participated in the defense of the ''Autumn'' and was evacuated before the craft crash landed onto the Halo.

While on the ring, Mobuto was somehow detached from his squad and was contacted by [[343 Guilty Spark]], who used Halo's teleportation grid to transport him to the [[Library (Installation 04)|Library]], much like he did with [[John-117]]. Instructed to retrieve the [[Index]], Mobuto fought valiantly through hordes of Flood, [[Combat Forms]], [[Carrier Forms]], and [[Infection Forms]]. He surprisingly managed to survive until he was in sight of the Index. However, with little experience against the enemy and standard, [[UNSC]]-issued [[UNSC Marine Corps Battle Dress Uniform|ballistic body armor]] as protection (which 343 Guilty Spark referred to as "insufficient armor"), Mobuto eventually succumbed to the Flood's might. His body was completely thrashed and mangled to the point where even the Flood Infection Forms could not make use of it.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}}
While on the ring, Mobuto was contacted by [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]], who used Halo's teleportation grid to transport him to the [[Library (Installation 04)|Library]], much like he did with the [[Master Chief]]. Instructed to retrieve the [[Index]], Mobuto fought valiantly through hordes of [[Flood]] [[Combat Form]]s, [[Carrier Form]]s and [[Infection Form]]s. With little experience against the enemy and standard, [[UNSC]]-issued body armor as protection, Mobuto eventually succumbed to the Flood's might. His body was completely thrashed and mangled to the point where the Flood Infection Forms could not make use of his body. It is suggested he could be a SPARTAN I due the great battle he must have fought against countless Flood numbers.  


John-117 found Mobuto's body in the Library during his mission to collect the Index. John discovered Mobuto's identity through his [[dog tag]] and paid his respects to the Marine. He was surprised at how far Mobuto had managed to get, as he himself had been pushed to the limit to get as far as he had even with his augmentations and MJOLNIR body armor. Mobuto's determination boosted the Spartan's morale to continue through the Flood-infested halls and complete his mission.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''pages 244-245'', '''The Definitive Edition''', ''Page 272''</ref>

===SPARTAN I?===
*''[[Halo: The Flood]]'' {{1st}}
Marvin Mobuto may have been a SPARTAN I, as this may be the reason he got so far into the [[Library]] without succumbing to the [[Flood]].
But some people think that he was just an extraordinarily determined and dedicated marine.
