'''[[First Sergeant]] Tink Carter''' was an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]]. In [[2552]], he was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} as part of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]'s unit, serving as the Company Sergeant for [[B Company (Pillar of Autumn)|B Company]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=TF2|HTF|Chapter=2}}


==Biography==
'''Sergeant Tink Carter''' was a [[UNSC]] [[Marine]] and [[ODST]]. In [[2552]], he was assigned to the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' as part of [[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]]'s unit, as the Company [[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>
===Installation 04===
Carter was among the many personnel aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' when the ship made landfall on [[Installation 04]] in September 2552. He, along with the rest of the ship's ODST complement, conducted a [[Landing on Installation 04|landing]] via [[drop pod]] in the opening hours of the conflict, and was able to survive the drop. After rallying with the rest of the [[battalion]], B Company was ordered by [[Major (UNICOM)|Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] to march across the ring's surface to an enemy-controlled mesa - which the officer intended to use as a base of operations while on the ring, later designated [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF2}}


During the assault, Carter stayed spaced behind McKay, the company's CO, by around six troops to ensure that a well-placed explosive couldn't kill both commanders in one go.{{Ref/Reuse|TF2}} Carter's fate following the UNSC capture of Alpha Base is uncertain, though he was almost certainly killed by the time of Installation 04's destruction three days later - along with the rest of the UNSC contingent on the ring.
After landing, [[Major Antonio Silva]] ordered McKay to take an enemy controlled mesa that would later become [[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 Johnson]]. As the tactical senior NCO, he would not often stay near McKay, as he was not allowed to. Tactical NCO's are always ordered to stay several men away from the commander, so they cannot be both killed by a [[grenade]].


==List of appearances==
He may have been killed or otherwise incapacitated early on in the combat, as he is replaced by [[Master Sergeant Lister]] as senior company NCO by the time of the attack on the [[Pillar of 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.

==Notes==
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 Halo.
