| | '''Private Walpole''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[ODST|Shock Trooper]] under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[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''' is a [[UNSC]] [[ODST|Orbital Drop Shock Shock Trooper]] and a member of [[Second Squad]], under the command of [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]]. He was assigned to the [[7th ODST Battalion|7th Battalion]], [[105th ODST Division]], onboard {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} in [[2552]].{{Ref/Game|Id=beach|H2MMP|Another Day at the Beach}} | |

| ===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, led by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]], were dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} to infiltrate the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}} ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' with [[John-117]]. Their [[D77-TC Pelican]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}. Walpole 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 sniper rifle, 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]] held at the sniper's throat. One of Walpole' squadmates, [[Butkus]], fired an overcharged burst from an {{Pattern|Eos'Mak|plasma pistol}} at the Sangheili, disabling his energy shields, allowing a fellow ODST to kill the Sangheili with a headshot.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}} Along with the rest of his squad, Walpole defended [[Hotel Zanzibar]], then met up with John-117.{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}
| | ===Pelican down=== |
| | During the battle, he and his squad were in [[Stacker]]'s [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier Pelican|D77-TC Pelican dropship]] when it was shot down by a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Covenant Scarab Walker]] on approach to an area in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality and traits==
| | After their Pelican made a rough landing outside of an [[Hotel Zanzibar|abandoned beachside hotel]], Walpole reported that [[O'Brien (ODST)|O'Brien]] was killed on impact. He, along with his squad quickly moved out to get better cover, and headed toward [[Hotel Zanzibar]] in [[Old Mombasa]]. |
| 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 tells the team to kill the Sangheili instead of saving him.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}

| |
|
| ==Production notes==
| | 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. |
| Walpole is named after the [[Bungie]] employee [[Nathan Walpole]]. He worked on the animations and cinematics for ''[[Halo 2]]'', including ''[[Another Day at the Beach]]''.{{Ref/Game|Id=Killtacular|H2MMP|Halo 2: Killtacular}}

| | 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 [[John-117]] destroyed the Scarab. |
