History

In March of 2558, Fireteam Jackknife, along with Fireteam Bailey and Paul Demarco of Fireteam Majestic, were assigned to escort and provide security for Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood and the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam, on a diplomatic mission to Ealen IV. While Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the Jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus, the Covenant remnant attacked the delegates. Commander Palmer ordered Jackknife to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. When their evacuation ship was destroyed, they proceeded to escort the delegates to a nearby parts depot.

As the party attempted to escape the storage depot, Spartan Ray stayed with Captain Thomas Lasky to reestablish communications with the UNSC Infinity while Scruggs and the rest of Jackknife were tasked with the safety of Lydus and his Jiralhanae bodyguards. Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant Lich. After a short skirmish with the Covenant leading to the destruction of the Lich, Jackknife and the Sangheili guards and the Jiralhanae guards left the delegates to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter. As the party arrived at the redoubt, Scruggs killed his team and the bodyguards.
