Sergeant Parker was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} as part of the ODST detachment under [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]] in [[2552#September|September 2552]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].

===Battle of Installation 04===
{{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
Like most of his comrades, Sergeant Parker abandoned the ''Autumn'' when it was attacked by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] over [[Installation 04]] using an [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] to drop down to the surface of the ring. He then assisted in the attack on the mesa that would be [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]].
Parker was among the many personnel aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' when the ship made landfall on [[Installation 04]] in September 2552. He, along with the rest of the ship's ODST complement, conducted a [[Landing on Installation 04|landing]] via [[drop pod]] in the opening hours of the conflict, and was able to survive the drop. After rallying with the rest of the [[battalion]], Parker was tasked with leading a force of Marine personnel and [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] in a mission to [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|rescue]] the ''Autumn''{{'}}s [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF4}}


During the raid, Parker was injured during a close encounter with a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], though was able to dispatch the creature with his [[M6D magnum]]. He continued to lead his team alongside the Master Chief to the ship's [[bridge]], where he was ordered to stay put and wait for the Master Chief to retrieve the Captain from the brig.{{Ref/Reuse|TF4}} Whether Parker survived the ensuing fighting back to the ship's [[Hangar|shuttle bay]] is unknown - though he was almost certainly killed by the time of the destruction of Installation 04 on September 22, alongside the rest of the UNSC contingent on the ring.
Later, he led the ODST attachment that accompanied [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] on the mission to rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], who was held prisoner aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.<ref name="Flood100">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 100''</ref> After being deployed beneath the ship via [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] ''[[Echo 419]]'', Parker and his ODSTs assisted the Master Chief; John felt that the ODSTs slowed him down because they did not have the reflexes and combat skill Spartans had.<ref name="Flood113">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 112-114''</ref>


==Personality and traits==
Parker was wounded by the spines of an [[Mgalekgolo]] in the vessel's cargo bay.<ref name="Flood113"/> Nevertheless, he shrugged off his wound and continued to lead the attack, liberating Captain Keyes from the brig of the vessel.<ref name="Flood113"/>
During the raid on ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', Parker proved himself an efficient, personable leader. He was also very duty-minded, as he continued to fight even after sustaining a serious wound. He displayed a friendly inter-service rivalry with Master Chief, jokingly referring to him as a "swabbie" on multiple occasions.


==Production note==
He was an efficient, personable leader. He was also very duty-minded, as he continued to fight even after sustaining a serious wound. He was noted to have teased the Master Chief, whom he treated with more respect than most ODSTs.
Sergeant Parker acts as a canon replacement for the [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] NPC on the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''.
 
==Discrepancy==
There is some discrepancy regarding Parker's death.
 
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Parker was killed, along with his squad, in the Covenant control center by two [[Stealth Sangheili]] while waiting for the Master Chief to retrieve Captain Keyes from the brig. However, according the novelization, Parker was still alive and the John regrouped with him after successfully rescuing Captain Keyes. Regardless, he died during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], along with the rest of the ODST contingent of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' (save for [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Locklear]]). Also, in the novel, Parker is stated to be male, but after he is wounded by a Hunter in the cargo bay, he is stated to be female. This is most likely a typo.<ref name="Flood113"/> See [[List of Inconsistencies in Halo]]
 
==Quotes==
*"Covenant forces sighted! Let's hit 'em [[Fire Team Charlie|Charlie Team]]." - When Covenant troops are dropped from the [[Truth and Reconciliation]].
*"We'd be sitting ducks in that narrow space. We'll hold this position until you can find your way around and open the door from the other side, Chief." - By locked blast doors, level ''[[Truth and Reconciliation (level)|Truth and Reconciliation]]''.
