Formerly an officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Colonel Watts became a turncoat and a traitor some time before [[2513]], abandoning the military and joining the Eridanus Rebels. He led an insurrection in the [[Eridanus Star System]], which lasted for a number of years.

In [[2525]], he was captured by a team of [[SPARTAN-II]]s led by [[John-117]], who sedated him using [[polypseudomorphine]]. They then brought Watts back to [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] for interrogation. It is likely he was executed for treason after the interrogations. | ||
Colonel Watts enjoyed luxury items, such as [[Sweet William Cigars]], high-quality steaks, and [[Beta Centauri]] vintage champagne and Swiss chocolates. It was this vanity that helped the [[SPARTAN-II]] team quickly locate and secure him, by tagging the incoming delivery crates containing these items.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 83</ref> | Colonel Watts enjoyed luxury items, such as [[Sweet William Cigars]], high-quality steaks, and [[Beta Centauri]] vintage champagne and Swiss chocolates.

*There is an Insurrectionist kid's rhyme that includes Colonel Watts: "Don't be spoiled, don't start a fight. Always be careful, here at night. Because the [[Spartans]] might come, in suits that weigh half a ton. And they'll steal from you all you got, just like they did from Colonel Watts." | *There is an Insurrectionist kid's rhyme that includes Colonel Watts: "Don't be spoiled, don't start a fight.
