==Biography==
Wagner held the rank of [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] in [[2552]]. Lieutenant Wagner's [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]] was one of few vessels to escape the catastrophic [[Battle of Reach]] in 2552. It was not officially stated that he broke Article 1 of the [[Cole Protocol]], but it was implied more subtly.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall Of Reach]], [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|The Cole Protocol Article 1]].</ref> Fortunately, it is suggested the [[Covenant]] did not follow him. He prepared the official report for the [[UNSC]] about the fall of planet [[Reach]] and was debriefed about it by the Security Council Committee, consisting of, but not limited to [[Colonel (UNSC)|Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], [[Lord Hood|Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood]], [[Major General Nicolas Strauss]] and about a half-dozen other command rank UNSC officers at [[HighCom Facility Bravo-6]], [[HIGHCOM]]'s headquarters. He gave them all the information he had, including the escape of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, and the apparent [[glassing]] of the planet (Though it should be noted that he noticed an anomaly in the Covenant's glassing technique and suggested glassing may not have been imminent. In [[Halo: First Strike]], we find out this is the case as the Covenant only partially glassed the planet.).

In [[2550]], he had almost a third of his body burned away by Covenant [[plasma]]. He didn't scream or shed a tear when he was burnt. He did, however, shed tears when he was debriefed about the events of the Battle of Reach with Lord Hood and Colonel James Ackerson, which was the closest thing he had ever had to a home in the [[Outer Colonies]].<ref name="home"/> What became of him later is unknown.

The last time he was mentioned was when Ackerson questioned him about volunteering for a recon on Reach, which he disliked instantly. Ackerson ordered him to get a "clean bill of medicine before returning to active duty" ASAP.

Wagner was also acute enough to detect a huge breach in military protocol, when Colonel Ackerson appeared to be in a position to cow a Major General. Ackerson had a huge dislike of him, either because he had realized this, or as [[Lysithea]] simply put it, "he wanted to stick someone's head on a pike."
