| | '''Private Walpole''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[ODST|Shock Trooper]] under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker]], and was assigned to the [[7th ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]], [[105th ODST Division]] in [[2552]] <ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''</ref>. |

| '''Walpole''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] sharpshooter and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] stationed at [[Earth]] in [[2552]].

| ===Battle of Mombasa=== | | ===Battle of Earth=== |
| {{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
| | His unit, second squad, 7th Battalion of the 105th Shock Division, fought in the [[Battle of Earth]], during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in [[2552#October|October 2552]]. |
| During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Walpole and his squad were dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} from ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' to relieve the UNSC's ground forces and to board the Covenant assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]''. Shortly after deployment, their [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}} walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant]] patrol.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}
| |
| | |
| When the squad was pinned down by a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], Walpole as the squad's sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "[[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|welcome-to-Earth gift basket]]", causing the lance's [[Unggoy]] to flee the area. A [[Active Camouflage|camouflaged]] [[Sangheili]] then snuck up on the squad and took Walpole hostage by holding an [[energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]] held at the sniper's throat. One of Walpole' squadmates, [[Butkus]], wielding an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]], along with Stacker using his [[BR55 battle rifle]], killed the alien and freed Walpole. Along with the rest of his squad, Walpole defended [[Hotel Zanzibar]], then met up with John-117.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}

| ==Personality and traits==
| |
| Like all ODSTs, Walpole is very tough and professional. He is an excellent marksman, and is not afraid of enemy snipers. He also has a notable sense of humor, even in combat, as evidenced by his desire to provide the Kig-Yar a "Welcome to Earth" 'gift basket'. When he is being held hostage by a Sangheili, he orders the team to kill the Sangheili instead of saving him.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}

| ==Production notes== | | ===Pelican down=== |
| Walpole is named after [[Nathan Walpole]], a [[Bungie]] employee who worked on the animations in ''Halo 2'', including ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''.{{Ref/Game|H2MMP|Halo 2: Killtacular}}
| | During the battle, he and his squad were in [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Stacker]]'s [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier Pelican|D77-TC Pelican dropship]] when it was shot down by a [[Scarab|Covenant Scarab Walker]] on approach to an area in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. |

| | After their Pelican made a rough landing outside of an [[Hotel Zanzibar|abandoned beachside hotel]], Walpole reported that [[O'Brian]] was killed on impact. He, along with his squad quickly moved out to get better cover, and headed toward [[Hotel Zanzibar]] in [[Old Mombasa]]. |

| | Moments later, a [[Plasma grenade]] had landed on Walpole's helmet. Using quick reflexes, the [[ODST]] was able to remove his headgear and hurl it toward a camouflaged [[Special Operations|Special ops]] [[Sangheili]]'s position on higher ground. |

| | There, Sergeant Stacker and his team saw the charging soldier, only after it had held [[Jones (Marine)|Jones]] as a prisoner. [[Butkis]] opened fire with an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] at the Sangheili, as Stacker shot the Elite in the head with his [[BR55 Battle Rifle]]. It is assumed Walpole had returned to ''In Amber Clad'' with Stacker after the [[John-117|Chief]] destroyed the Scarab. |
