DeMarco was born on [[2532|August 24, 2532]] on [[Algolis]]. He enlisted in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and eventually joined the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. Several years later he was recruited into the [[SPARTAN-IV Program]].<ref name="VIS"/> | |||

Sometime after the [[Battle of Earth (2557)|attack]] on [[New Phoenix]] in [[2557]], DeMarco and his team were deployed to the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]] to eliminate or detain former Covenant [[asylum seeker|seeking asylum]] on [[Earth]]. | |||
===Second Battle of Requiem=== | |||
{{main|Second Battle of Requiem}} | |||
Later he and the rest of Fireteam Majestic, including the team's newest member, [[Gabriel Thorne]], were reassigned to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. Immediately after arriving on the ship on [[2558#February|February 8, 2558]], he flirted with [[Sarah Palmer]] (boasting about his leadership of Majestic) before Palmer revealed that she was the commander of the ship's Spartan contingent. | |||
[[ | Shortly after being deployed to Requiem, Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations in Requiem in order to shut down [[Forerunner]] power generators. When Commander Palmer turned the objective into a competition, DeMarco asked about the reward; Palmer responded sarcastically, saying he would gain "the respect of his peers". Upon insertion, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating their respective devices, their mission continued. Majestic temporarily took the lead, but were eventually beaten by Crimson. DeMarco began to complain that Crimson's tower could not have encountered the same degree of resistance as Majestic; Palmer responded shortly, informing DeMarco that Crimson had faced tougher defenses.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 1, Chapter 3: "The Challenge"''</ref> | ||
[[File:DeMarco - Soldier.png|thumb|left|250px|DeMarco engaging Prometheans.]] | |||
Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was engaged by multiple [[Promethean Crawler]]s. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "[[Slipspace translocation|pop up]]" anywhere, when a [[Promethean Knight]] teleported into the area. Madsen was shot in the shoulder, knocking him back. Hoya broke cover and blatantly engaged the Knights in close quarters, which prompted DeMarco to yell for him to get back into cover. Hoya was injured and brought back aboard the ''Infinity''. <ref name="Ep2">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref> | |||
Later, DeMarco and Madsen were assigned to guard Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] while she was brought aboard the ''Infinity''. On the way to the engine room, DeMarco questioned why they needed to guard an "old lady". Madsen informed him of Halsey's role in the [[SPARTAN-II Program]], calling her a "mad scientist" and the abduction of children for military training. After the artifact reacted as Halsey interacted with the engine room's controls, DeMarco, Palmer, and Madsen brandished their weapons against Halsey, but soon lowered them as she was a not a pertinent threat.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> | |||
Sometime during the operation in recovering the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]], DeMarco and his team became pinned down by [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] air support while en route to a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] transport. DeMarco attempted to have the team make a run for the Pelican, but was told by Madsen that the risky maneuver might kill them all. As DeMarco tried to think of another plan, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]], much to the dismay of DeMarco, who disobeyed the order to stay put. However, Thorne was able to destroy a nearby [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] and secure the area, allowing the Fireteam to return to the ''Infinity''.<ref name="hand">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> | |||
When Thorne later went missing, DeMarco along with the rest of Majestic set out to find him. DeMarco eventually saved Thorne in the nick of time, shooting [[Gek 'Lhar]] right before the Elite was able to execute him. While DeMarco was searching Gek he found several UNSC [[dog tag]]s, some of which belonged to Spartans. As thanks for saving him, Thorne gave DeMarco Gek's [[energy sword]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Expendable|S1E8 ''Expendable'']]</ref> | |||
A short while later, Majestic was attacked by Covenant forces, DeMarco radioed in for reinforcements.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 8, Chapter 1: "Unfinished Business"''</ref> While Crimson destroyed the Covenant artillery firing on Majestic, DeMarco radioed in to check on their progress.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 8, Chapter 2: "Majestic Rescue"''</ref> When the Pelican arrived for their evacuation, Majestic was contacted by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]], who asked them to rescue Dr. Halsey from [[Jul 'Mdama]], as she had been abducted during the attack on ''Infinity''. When they arrived at Halsey's location DeMarco waited for Thorne to give the signal to attack. When he did DeMarco swiftly attacked with his newly acquired energy sword, cutting down any Elites in the way, while Hoya, Grant, and Madsen attacked from above. DeMarco and the rest of Majestic showed up to help Thorne just as Promethean Knights translocated into the area and engaged them. Jul 'Mdama managed to escape with Halsey, just as Thorne and Palmer closed in on him. Palmer questioned why Majestic was there, DeMarco said Captain Lasky wanted them to rescue Halsey.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Key|S1E9 ''Key'']]</ref> | |||
Sometime later, along with Commander Palmer, Majestic was ordered to deactivate one of the two [[Requiem translocation artifact|translocation artifacts]] still on Requiem, while Crimson deactivated the other. Before they left they witnessed the departure of the Covenant fleet fleeing Requiem. When Requiem began to move towards the local star Palmer hurried them toward the artifact.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|''Exodus'']]</ref> DeMarco and the others faced significant Covenant resistance in deactivating their device. When [[Jared Miller]] reported to Palmer about their progress, she could be heard yelling at DeMarco to check his six.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 10, Chapter 5: "Try it Again"''</ref> Shortly after Crimson deactivated their artifact, Majestic eliminated the last of the Elites defending the third artifact and deactivated it. They evacuated and arrived aboard ''Infinity'' at the same time as Crimson, allowing ''Infinity'' to escape just in time.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Key#Closing cinematic|S1E10 ''Exodus conclusion'']]</ref> | |||

{{ | {{main|Battle of Ealen IV}} | ||
In March of [[2558]], DeMarco, along with [[Fireteam Bailey]] and [[Fireteam Jackknife]], was assigned to escort and provide security for [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] and [[Kaidon]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on a diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]]. While Commander Palmer and Fireteam Jackknife accompanied the delegates, DeMarco and the rest of Bailey stayed back to act as [[overwatch]]. As Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Chieftain]] [[Lydus]], the Covenant remnant broke into the chamber and attacked the delegates. Despite facing heavy resistance from Covenant forces, DeMarco and Fireteam Bailey managed to clear a path for the delegates and escort them to a nearby parts depot. Once everyone was inside, DeMarco sealed the depot to halt the oncoming Covenant forces.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #1''</ref> | |||

Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant [[Type-56 Lich|Lich]]. After a brief skirmish with the Covenant leading to the destruction of the Lich, DeMarco and Bailey stayed with the delegation as Fireteam Jackknife and the delegation's bodyguards left to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #2''</ref> | ||
