==Background==
This needs to be fixed, gender was just speculation:


== S-312's superior ==
SPARTAN-B312 is the main playable character in the upcoming game, ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. To integrate player relation with B312, players can pick what gender they wish Noble Six to be with separately recorded voices for each gender.
Of course, this is purely speculation based upon [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_030510 Bungie Weekly Update 3.05.10]


I was just wondering if someone could clarify something for me. It says that most likely S-B312's superior was Ackerson because Ackerson had requested Tom-B292 to head his special warfare team but that request was denied and Tom went with Lucy to train Gamma. So according to speculation Ackerson may have received S-312 instead. However, isn't this highly unlikely due to the fact that Ackerson thought the only Beta company survivors were Lucy and Tom because he had been kept in the dark about Spartan-IIIs being pulled from Alpha and Beta and given MJOLNIR? So he couldn't have been given S-312 because he didn't even know S-312 existed right? Or did he just think he had been previously assigned to a non-combat role like it said in the Mendez-Ambrose transmission? Oh and by the way one other question when it talks about "cat 2s" in the transcript does that mean Spartan-IIIs with Spartan-II genetic standards? --[[User talk:Ace of Spades|Ace of Spades]]

:I agree. It does appear that Ackerson was unaware that Kurt was pulling a select few candidates out and shifting them to Mjolnir-wearing units.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 23:40, 10 July 2013 (EDT)

It should also be noted that there is no intimation as to when or how often a player may change his/her gender.


... needs to be revised on two counts. Firstly, the introduction as well as the opening quote needs to be reverted to its previous revision. The current quote would fit nicely in the "Death" section whereas the previous section fits nicely with his overall personality (or what's left of it to the player's imagination). The introduction should be the most condensed paragraph about the subject and its job should be to introduce the subject to readers. There is no need of an overview/summary of his biography/characterisation in the introduction.


Secondly, this image needs to be altered: Noble Six should be in his default configuration. We've already discussed about this years ago. On the subject of "what we've agreed years ago", it should be noted that we've also agreed that his birth date provided in GameInformer is [[Talk:SPARTAN-B312/Archive_1#Date_of_Birth|likely to be an error made by the editor]].

In that new interview with Aisha Tyler, she says she did alot of deathscreams.. possibly another intimation of gender change? I feel this is good proof for multiplayer, but it doesn't nessecarily mean anything for campaggin.


:I've been warned not to press any of those shiny big red buttons...


:I could cut most of the opening summary. The recap may be unnecessary, though I was trying to incorporate something similar to what [[John-117]] has on his article intro. I think the first few sentences comparing Six to John should be kept, though. Something to explain how this character is important.


:The image I got from YouTube, because it was the highest quality one I could find, and the configuration didn't look THAT different to me. Guess it is. I lack a screen capture device, though, so unless someone with one of those is willing to take pics of Six in default armor during the cutscenes, I will have to hunt around on YouTube for some video with default. Also, did not know that about the birth date. I will cut that out.

He's a male. Per canon. Just like with other games like ''Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I/II'', while the player may be able to choose his/her gender, there IS an official "canon gender" that is used. Per S-312 (Noble 6)'s Personnel Profile, he is a male.


::Well, maybe compress it again instead of deleting it if you feel it is necessary? John-117 is one exceptional, [[Halo:_Reach_ViDoc:_A_Spartan_Will_Rise|hyper-lethal]] article; cramming everything from the novels to games to miscellaneous media in that introduction. Not even Six can beat 117.

:::I think the best way to make Noble Six in Reach is the following:
That Settles it Noble 6 is a Male, Because its Stated here http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=24530 and The version Bungie uses for Advertisements is Male.
Helmet = '''Mark V[B] Default''' (early promo material had the extra plate on top, but later was just default including one of the last action figures made)<br />


Left Shoulder = '''Default'''<br />
Think of it as the Mass Effect Senario, You can chose the Gender of your Shepard, but the Canon version is the Male, because thats the one Made by the Studio, and is the one in all of the Advertisements


Right Shoulder = '''Default'''<br />
== spartan tags ==


Chest = '''Default'''<br />
i think we should remove the company tags from the spartans of noble because, even tho they are spartan IIIs, they do not belong to a company, 312 and kat were taken out of beta company, therefore they do not warrant company tags. as with carter, emile and jun they were from alpha company, which no longer exists, they are now noble team. besides, since the fact that they are spartans IIIs is no longer a debated fact and has been confirmed by multiple sources, bungie would come righ out with it and put spartan tags on their pages, right. so i vote we remove the company tags cuz there have been no sources that give company tags. befere i make the change, you can vote, i will decide to make the edit at the end of march if the majority of the people support it [[User talk:Ghost mactavish|Ghost mactavish]] 05:28, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Not even the official B.net "personnel reports" that seem to contain every other bit of information about them. I've never questioned that whether they originally belonged to those companies, nor if they originally had their company tags. I'm only drawing conclusions from everything we've seen so far.

The page says that Noble Six is affiliated with the UNSC Navy, however, S-IIIs are Army, and I thought that Noble Team was also confirmed Army by the NOBLE Team Performance Report?

I would like to ask what should be represented in the Noble Six's article. Since 343i (and Bungie before them) only considers Noble Six to be male from a canonical standpoint within the fiction and that female Six is only a gameplay option for players, is it appropriate to have female Six pics in the character article of only on a Halo Reach Video Game type of page that includes info like Theater and Forge? - [[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 22:59, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

:Sorry, that was a bit messed up...it was late. :P What I meant was, should any reference to a female Noble Six even be in the Noble Six fictional character article (since Six is fictionally male according to 343i)? I would think the reference to a gameplay option to play Six as a female would be relegated to a Halopedia article about the Halo: Reach video game itself where it would mention other game options like Forge or Theater Mode.

Do we have any source that states Six is canonically male?

::DC, there is a difference between gameplay mechanics and non-canon. In ''Halo 3'', when and where the Arbiter appears depends on whether you're playing solo or cooperative campaign, but neither would be canonically incorrect. Conversely, in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', there are clearly two Spartans visible in cooperative play, and yet you wouldn't say that there were two Spartans present on Alpha Halo. But in ''Halo: Reach'', the fact that Noble Six's role to the plot is actually the pivotal point of the campaign, then you can't say that he/she is non-canon. Because if you're going to confuse gameplay mechanics and non-canon, then you could very well say that no one actually delivered Cortana to Captain Keyes at the end of ''Halo: Reach'', therefore the events of all games that came after (chronologically) did not happen. Which, of course, is ridiculous. Sona 21:09, 25 September 2013 (EDT)

DC, you need to provide a source for your claim that "Bungie said there is no canon form of Noble Six." Until you can provide that, the Essential Visual Guide is our best source, and to be taken as correct. I have to ask though, what is your the alternative to having Six have an identity, either male or female, '''in-universe'''? That Spartan-B312 is intersex, and has both genders or no gender? That Noble-Six is a gender-neutral robot? Yes, in-game Six can be either gender, but campaign gameplay can be non-canon. You can take vacations and skip areas that canonically, the Master Chief had to fight through. Hell, the Master Chief can die... repeatedly.

:::DC Ambrose, I answered your query to me in your message board, but for the benefit of folks here, I'll reiterate some of what I said. The Bungie link above is one of the oldest pieces of information on Noble Team. It has been expanded upon since even the game shipped (and mostly by 343i now). When reviewing the Visual Guide, 343i's stance was that Six was fictionally male. The height and weight in the Guide was deliberate, as was the masculine pronoun use in his entry. I'm not sure his gender is "classified in-universe" though. Since he's considered male in the fiction, any interaction he'd had with troopers, civilians, and Noble Team would not throw his gender into doubt because of his build, voice, etc. What I think would be fine to mention in an article (perhaps one on Halo: Reach, the game, is to mention that a gameplay choice was for players to be able to choose the gender for Six when they played the game. That should be distinct from how he's viewed fictionally. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 07:44, 26 September 2013 (EDT)

:Speaking for the [[Halopedia]] staff here. We appreciate that you have reached out, and we ultimately agree that it ''appears'' 343 Industries' current stance is likely that Noble Six's gender is not canonically set. However, this has not been officially stated and we cannot ignore official canon in which Noble Six is directly stated to be male. We do not believe that sources in which Noble Six's gender is omitted supersede the authority of the sources in which Noble Six's gender is explicitly identified. Simply put, we do not believe that an omission is the same as a retcon. For reference, our canon policy can be found [https://www.halopedia.org/Halopedia:Canon_policy here].

:343 Industries (and official lore created under their watch) has identified Noble Six's gender on several occasions, including those listed below.
I know we just got through agreeing on an armor standard, but should we again consider the HUL helmet attachment that Noble 6 has been consistantly been shown to use? We have almost as many sources ''with'' the attachments than we do without, so this is difficult decision. It's in the VGA trailer (our first look at Nobel 6), and at least part of "The Battle Begins" TV spot. The trivia section on this page (erroneously) says that official material since the VGA has been devoid of this attachment. However, that is simply NOT the case.

:Alex Wakeford's tweet, which you mention, does convince us that 343 Industries has likely revised their stance on Noble Six's gender in recent years, but we don't find it to be quite authoritative enough to override much more definitive lore. Still, an alternative but equally valid way to view Alex's tweet is that they won't say Noble Six's gender going forward, but they also won't necessarily retcon what was said previously.
Recent evidence shows that the official action figure has an equipped HUL and 312 is shown with it in the very recent live-action "Deliver Hope" cinematic as well. These alone are huge hints that we should at least reconsider our previous agreement. The fact that Bungie is still using the attachment in advertising media is enough in itself to warrant a discussion. --[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 15:28, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

The author of Halo: New Blood, Matt Forbeck, has agreed that Jun could have misspoken or have been purposely misdirecting. I will follow up on my end as well, obviously as someone who was on the initial team that designed Six, I am passionate about their canon not being retconned. https://twitter.com/mforbeck/status/1626413254594420736?s=20  -Christian Allen (apologies for messing up any formatting here)

:No worries! And that is good to know. We'll be sure to include the quote from Matt Forbeck when we update Noble Six's article. We have reached out to our contacts and are now awaiting a response.

== "Your file mentioned this." ==
== Class ==


I am not sure if it should be mentioned or not, but if you stare at Carter-A259, he might say "Your file mentioned this."
We've been basing our assumption that 312 is a Beta Company Spartan off of Jorge's comment in the trailer introducing Noble Team, but that line apparently doesn't exist in the final game, and without it we seem to have little other evidence pointing to 312 as a Beta Company Spartan - he certainly seems much younger than Kat. His official dossier doesn't state class, or even age. He may be a Gamma Company Spartan. mY point is that we don't know, and until we do, we should move the article to simply SPARTAN-312 and alter references to the character. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 11:22, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


I am not someone to comment, but it probably means that SPARTAN-B312 used to stare at people for a long time, which may be disturbing, as other characters get annoyed, even Carter himself. So, should it come in the article? I require advice, so, could you please kindly guide me? [[User:ErikaWilliams|Erika]] ([[User talk:ErikaWilliams|talk]]) 08:08, September 6, 2024 (EDT)
:Actually, we have [http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=personnel&cid=24040 more solid info] to clarify that he/she is indeed from Beta. And even then, if he/she were from Gamma, they would be underage, and would have a lot of problems when portrayed in a video game. As in "over protective parent video game activists campaigning to ban the game" problems. - [[File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="red"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Talk'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Halo-343|<font color="orange"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Contribs'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] [[Special:Editcount/Halo-343|<font color="green"><nowiki>(</nowiki>'''Edits'''<nowiki>)</nowiki></font>]] 11:29, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm in no way a professional, but to me that sounds like something that would go in the trivia section. Make sure to put that it's an in-game line, so it isn't officially canon. But in SPARTAN-B312's defense, maybe Six just gets really lost in thought, or maybe Six is just an odd human.

When Dr. Halsey says "Hyper lethal, hmm, only one other SPARTAN with that rating." Is that one other SPARTAN John-117??? --[[User talk:Kluutak|Kluutak]] 21:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
: More than likely it's meant to be an offhand reference to John-117. That line is there for the players, from an In Universe perspective, John isn't really that great of a soldier, he was just a lucky one who got a lot of positive press. --[[User talk:WhellerNG|WhellerNG]] 21:15, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


It's not really unique though. With the Chief or ODSTs or Noble-Six if you stare at or shoot or harass allies they say all kinds of strange things...it's an amusing minor addition to the flavor of the game but in my opinion not really worthy of calling out unless you're planning to add that kind of triviality everywhere throughout this wiki. Noble-Six certainly isn't especially singled out in this kind of behavior. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 09:28, September 20, 2024 (EDT)
: John killed thousands of Covenant. I agree that it's a nod to fans, but he is an elite soldier. [[User:Tgor365|<span style="color:red">'''Tgor'''</span>]][[User talk:Tgor365|<span style="color:blue">'''365'''</span>]] 21:24, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
:: No more than any other Spartan. People have it up in their heads that John-117, as he's the protagonist of the first 3 Halo games, that he's super awesome and the best there ever was. He isn't. He's good, yeah, but he's not the best. --[[User talk:WhellerNG|WhellerNG]] 21:30, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
:::His luck and awareness kept him going. He did the most. He survived the most. He killed the most. He saved humanity. Maybe he had no more athleticism than the rest, but he accomplished more on the battlefield than any other human, and that makes him the best soldier ever.

::::Actually it didn't really have to do with luck. He was a superb tactician and intelligent fighter. I personally say Admiral Preston Cole was a bigger hero, he has the highest confirmed killcount than anyone alive. Master Chief destroyed the Ark and slowed the Flood Infection. It was actually the Arbiter who stopped Truth from firing the rings. Master Chief's biggest achievement in his career I would have to say is the assassination of the Prophet of Regret during the Battle of Installation 05. I'd have to say that "one other spartan" was probably Kurt, since he always beat John-117. --[[User talk:Kluutak|Kluutak]] 10:33, 6 December 2010 (EST)

Noble 6 dies on the 30th of August 2552 after fighting off wave after wave of elites. Someone should put it down.

== FJ/PARA ==
This is not really a "I think canon is" issue, but has anyone else noticed that in all the non in-game media about 312, even current stuff, he is wearing FJ/PARA knees? The action-figurey one by McFarlane, the xbox avatar Noble 6 suit, and a whole bunch of pictures and wallpapers of him - including at least one by Bungie - , they're always FJ/PARA. That and every other member of Noble wears them too, except Jorge, cause he's huge and a S-II, and Kat, cause she's female. That's not meant to be sexist or anything, but the default ones do make her more female. It seems like standard (male at least) S-III knees are meant to FJ/PARA. And before anyone says anything, yes, I know S-312 is whatever you want him to be, no matter how nonsensical it may be, that's what canon is, just thought this was interesting.

== Birthdate ==
I know we don't know it, but since we know he's Beta Company can't we figure out he's between something and something? Early 20s I think, as Kat's 22... [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 02:40, 2 November 2010 (EDT)
 
:Had Bungie not completely skewed the ages of the Spartan-IIIs conscripted with Emile and Carter (aged 8 and 11 upon conscription respectively), we would have been able to pinpoint an age for Noble Six. But for that irritating reason, Six will remain ageless. - [[File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="green">('''Talk''')</font>]] 14:08, 6 December 2010 (EST)
