'''[[First Sergeant]] Tink Carter''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]. In [[2552]], he was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} as part of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]'s unit, as the Company First Sergeant. When the vessel came under [[Covenant]] attack, he "[[Helljumper|hell-jumped]]" to the surface of [[Installation 04]] along with the rest of the unit's [[ODST]]s in a [[Human Entry Vehicle]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''pages 62-63''</ref> | |||
After landing, [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] ordered McKay to take an enemy controlled mesa that would later become [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. Carter was present during that assault, and served as McKay's tactical second in command during the operation. He displayed many roughneck personality traits similar to [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]]. As the tactical senior Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO), he would not often stay near McKay, to reduce the chances of both commanding officers being killed by a single explosive attack. | |||
He may have been killed or otherwise incapacitated early on in the combat, as he is replaced by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Lister (Marine)|Lister]] as senior company NCO by the time of the attack on the ''Autumn''. However, only half the company was present at this battle, and though many already were killed or wounded, he may have been leading an element of the company elsewhere. | |||
He is not mentioned afterwards, but he is [[KIA]] in all probability, as there are numerous opportunities for him to die during the fighting on [[Installation 04]] or its subsequent destruction. | |||
