'''Black-Two''' (name and Spartan tag unknown) is a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] supersoldier of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Warfare Command]] attached to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. She serves with [[Team Black]] as an intelligence specialist, and she is visually distinguished with the Roman numeral "II" on her visor.<ref name="evo">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Blunt Instruments]]"</ref><ref name="issue1">'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 1|Issue 1]]"</ref><ref name="issue2">'''Halo: Blood Line''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2]]"</ref>

===Conscription===

She was abducted and conscripted into the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] program by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] in [[2517]] when she was six years old. She was then taken to the planet [[Reach]], and [[SPARTAN-II training|trained]] by the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], along with the rest of the Spartan children. She was assigned to Team Black, and trained with the other teams such as the [[Red Team]].<ref name="issue2"/> In [[2525]], she and the other candidates underwent a [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|series of augmentations]] to improve their abilities. Black-Two was among the ones that survived and were not crippled or killed by the procedure.

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Black-Two fought alongside Team Black in various operations against the [[Covenant]], including a mission where they destroyed a [[Covenant citadel]].<ref name="issue5">'''Halo: Blood Line''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 5|Issue 5]]"</ref> and another in which they used [[C-12 shaped charge]]s to blow a hole in a [[Covenant cruiser]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Blunt Instruments", ''page 202''</ref>

In [[2552|mid-2552]], they were sent to destroy a Covenant [[Beacon]] on the Covenant-occupied colony of [[Verge]]. After landing, the team made their way past fortified anti-aircraft emplacements to the city of [[Ciudad de Arias]], where the Beacon was situated. In one of the city's skyscrapers, they assessed the Beacon's defenses, observing a large swarm of [[Yanme'e]], overseen by [[Kig-Yar]] guards and some [[Mgalekgolo]]. Black-Two was then ordered to find a safe room for them to get some rest. In one of the rooms, she found an injured, apparently non-hostile Yanme'e, whom she nicknamed "[[Hopalong]]". The Drone, through a translator device, revealed an alternate, hidden route to the Beacon. While Black-One and the rest of the team were suspicious, they decided to trust the Yanme'e.

 

On her way, she discovered an intact underground train, which they could use to escape. After telling Black-One, they decided to head to the train. However, Black-Three was not responding One's calls and Two decided to go rescue him, despite One's orders to leave him. After locating an injured Three, Two carried him over her shoulder and sprinted through the city's ruins, now crawling with freed Yanme'e, to the train where One and Four were already waiting. Before escaping, she detonated the charge she had placed on the pylon, brining the Beacon down. They got onboard the train and escaped as the tunnels collapsed under the beacon, and headed to a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] for exfiltration.<ref name="evo"/>

Some time after the mission on Verge, Team Black was to embark on [[Operation: BLOWBACK|a covert mission]] to infiltrate a Covenant vessel. When [[Long Time Coming|their ship]] crash-landed on an [[Unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|Unnamed Moon]], Black-Two stayed behind to drop a [[Slipbeacon]] to [[UNSC Fleet Command|Fleet Command]] while the rest of the team went to scout the area.<ref name="issue1"/> After Two was finished, she moved out into the [[Line Installation 1-4|Line Installation]]. While she was inside the structure looking for her teammates, [[686 Ebullient Prism]] took control the [[Heads-up display|HUDs]] of the team's MJOLNIR armors to deceive them and to pit them against each other. After Prism led Two to a [[Type-50 Sniper Rifle System|Beam Rifle]], Two found her way to a ledge where she spotted [[Black-Three]], who appeared on her helmet display as a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]]. Two opened fire on him, oblivious of the fact her HUD was being manipulated.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4]]"</ref> In turn, Black-Four saw Black-Two as [[Thon 'Talamee]] and shot her in the head, injuring her.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 3|Issue 3]]"</ref> Knocked unconscious, Black-Two awoke some time later as the wound was healed by [[Biofoam]]. After waking up, she made her way into the Installation's command center, where she helped the rest of the team destroy 686 Ebullient Prism. After being severely damaged, the monitor was destroyed as it flew into the Installation's main weapon just as it fired at an incoming Covenant fleet. The fleet crashed on the moon, and Team Black moved back to the surface in order to find a serviceable vessel they could commandeer to escape. Outside, they faced a massive Covenant ground force.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', "[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 5|Issue 5]]"</ref>

Black-Two seems to be the most open-minded member of Team Black, as she doesn't seem to hold any particular hatred toward the Covenant, for example, attempting to communicate with a Yanme'e instead of outright killing it. This may, however, be linked to her inquisitive and curious nature, which may have been a contributing factor to her role in the team. She has a characteristic light-hearted sense of humor, and is fiercely loyal to her teammates and would refuse to leave one of them behind, despite direct orders.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Blunt Instruments", ''page 216''</ref>
