'''Shane''' was a [[SPARTAN-III]] supersoldier. He was born in [[2525]] and was orphaned when his parents were killed in the [[First Battle of Harvest]] in 2525. After he was evacuated he was sent to an orphanage where he lived until he volunteered for the Spartan-III project at age of six. He swore to get revenge on the [[Covenant]] for killing his family and destroying his home planet.


'''Shane-A112''' was a [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-III]] supersoldier of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]]. He was a member of [[Team Wolf Pack]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 372''</ref>
Shane was sent to [[Camp Currahee]] on [[Onyx]] to be trained with Alpha Company. The first day there, he was pushed out of a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] by another [[SPARTAN-III]] recruit, [[Spartan-Robert|Robert]], during a night-time [[Falcon Wing]] descent exercise. When he landed, he thought he had wet his pants, but in actuality, the skin on the back of his legs had been rubbed raw when he landed. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 74.</ref> When they both landed on the ground, he and [[Spartan-Robert|Robert]] began to fight, and they had to be broken up by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]] and a drill instructor, who Shane hit in the process. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 77</ref>


==Biography==
Despite Shane's scuffle with [[Spartan-Robert|Robert]] in the initiation he eventually grew close to both him and another Spartan-III named [[Spartan-Jane|Jane]], and together they became [[Team Wolf Pack]]. He was killed during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]], along with all 300 Spartans of Alpha Company on the same mission, by a [[Plasma]] Mortar that caused him to fly through the air and land face first, unmoving and lifeless. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 86-87.</ref> The last time Shane is seen alive was when Kurt, together with [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] [[James Ackerson|Ackerson]], Mendez, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Parangosky]] and [[Rear Admiral (Lower Half)|Rear Admiral]] [[Rich]] watched him fight for a moment through an unknown Spartan's helmet cam until he, along with Team Wolf Pack, died.<ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 87</ref> Shane had been the last Spartan on his team standing.
===Childhood and Spartan training===
He was born on the colony world of [[Harvest]] and was orphaned when his parents were killed in the [[First Battle of Harvest]] in 2525. After he was evacuated aboard a [[DCS light freighter|light freighter]], he was sent to an orphanage where he lived until he volunteered for the Spartan-III project. He swore to get revenge on the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] for killing his family and destroying his home planet.


In [[2532]], Shane was sent to [[Camp Currahee]] on [[Onyx]] to be trained with Alpha Company by [[Lieutenant]] [[Kurt-051|Kurt Ambrose]] and [[Chief Petty Officer|CPO]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]]. The first day there, he was pushed out of a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] by another [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-III]] recruit, [[Robert-A057]], during a night-time [[Falcon Wing aerial descent unit|Falcon Wing]] descent exercise. When he landed, he thought he had wet his pants, but in actuality, the skin on the back of his legs had been rubbed raw when he landed. <ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 74''</ref> When they both landed on the ground, he and Robert began to fight, and they had to be broken up by CPO Mendez and a drill instructor, who Shane hit in the process.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 77''</ref>
It is also worth mentioning that Kurt disliked the fact that SPARTAN-IIIs were sent out on high risk operations wearing less protection than the SPARTAN-II's. The differences between the more expensive but more effective [[MJOLNIR]] suit and the SPARTAN-III's [[SPI|SPI (Semi-Powered Infiltration armor)]] made it more difficult for SPARTAN-III's to survive. Kurt also knew that the candidates for the SPARTAN-III program didn't completely match the perfect psychological and genetic markers set in [[Dr. Halsey|Dr. Halsey's]] original selection protocols. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 68</ref>


Despite Shane's scuffle with Robert in the initiation he eventually grew close to both him and another Spartan-III named [[Jane-A203]], and together they became [[Team Wolf Pack]].

===Combat deployments and death===
In late [[2536]], Shane graduated from Alpha Company, which was then deployed on numerous battlefields, against both [[Insurrectionist]]s and the [[Covenant]]. These included the [[insurrection of Mamore]], the [[Battle of New Constantinople]], skirmishes in the [[Bonanza asteroid belt]] and the [[Far-gone]] colony platforms, as well as half a dozen other engagements over a span of nine months.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 81''</ref>


He was killed during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]], along with all 300 Spartans of Alpha Company on the same mission, by a [[plasma mortar]] that caused him to fly through the air and land face first, unmoving and lifeless. Shane had been the last Spartan on his team standing.<ref name="prometheus">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 81-87''</ref> Later, Kurt, together with [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson|Ackerson]], Mendez, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Parangosky]] and [[Rear Admiral (Lower Half)|Rear Admiral]] [[Ned Rich]] watched his last moments through a recording from an unknown Spartan's helmet camera.{{Ref/Reuse|prometheus}} Kurt was profoundly distraught by Shane's death, along with those of the rest of Alpha Company. He attributed their demise primarily to loss of unit cohesion during the battle and later made an effort to emphasize the importance of teamwork when training the [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|next batch]] of the Spartan-IIIs.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 91''</ref>


==Trivia==
Shane was inspired to become a Spartan after seeing Kurt in his Mjolnir armor, which reminded Shane of the [[Wikipedia:Green Knight|Green Knight]] from Arthurian legend.
