| ====Card 1 - [[Master Chief]]====
| | </gallery> |
| [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] "John" SPARTAN-117 has been trained since childhood to be an expert with any [[weapon]], the master of any [[vehicle]] he has been quite literally transformed into a living weapon (while encased in [[MJOLNIR Armor|MJOLNIR powered assault armor]] or not.) He has fought in over 200 ground assaults against the [[Covenant]] forces and has been awarded every major service medal (except the prisoner of war medallion). When paired with the [[A.I.]] [[Cortana]] he has proven to be unstoppable.
| |
| | |
| ====Card 2 - Cortana====
| |
| Cortana's self-determined personality is female, with a dry sense of humor and even elements of a hot temper. ''She'' is the most advanced [[Smart AI|"smart" A.I.]] in the [[UNSC]]'s arsenal-a master of system infiltration, intelligence gathering, and counter-intelligence operations. ''She'' is probably the best source intelligence on the Covenant in [[human]] hands. ''She'' is aware that her own capabilities are far beyond the average A.I. and says so often.
| |
| | |
| ====Card 3 - Captain Keyes====
| |
| [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] had a [[Navy|Naval]] career spanning more than twenty-five years at the time of his death. He was chosen to command the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' during a mission that would hopefully force the Covenant to the bargaining table. Unfortunately, the Covenant attack on [[Reach]] derailed - the ''Autumn'' was one of very few ships to survive the battle. They subsequently crash landed on the ancient construct now known as [[Installation 04|Halo]]. He led the UNSC forces on the ring, but fell to [[Flood]] - looking for a weapon that would turn the tide of the war.
| |
| ====Card 4 - [[UNSC Marine Corps]]====
| |
| The [[Marine]]s are the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s primary expeditionary ground forces. Each and every one of them is trained in weaponry and vehicles. Using the ubiquitous [[Pelican]] dropships they are capable of deploying troops and material as a moment's notice. These are the rough men (and women) who stand ready to do violence on humanity's behalf-born under the shadow of a genocidal war now in it's twenty-seventh year.
| |
| ====Card 5 - [[Sgt. Avery Johnson]]====
| |
| ===FORERUNNER CARDS===
| |
| ====Card 6 - [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]]====
| |
| The [[Monitor]] of [[Installation 04]] (or what humanity knows as the first [[Halo]] artifact) is an [[artificial intelligence]], a being of inscrutable purpose and one of the only surviving links to the long-vanished [[Forerunner]] civilization. Guilty Spark's dedication to the safety and operation of the Halo weapon makes him a dangerously unpredictable entity - a friend one moment and a deadly foe the next. 343 Guilty Spark was recovered from the wreckage of the destroyed Halo by Covenant forces, who regard him as an [[Oracle]] of their religion. They were wrong.

| ===COVENANT CARDS===
| |
| ====Card 7 - [[Grunts]]====
| |
| ====Card 8 - [[Jackals]]====
| |
| ====Card 9 - [[Elites]]====
| |
| A storied and ancient space-faring race, Elites are a militaristic society, where the ability to fight is treasured above all else. As a result, they also represent one of the deadliest foes mankind has ever faced. It is lucky for humanity that a civil war within the Covnant has placed the Elites in a tense postion - as a temporary ally. Standing at eight-and-a-half feet tall Elites are masterful fighters with anything from a Carbine to an elegant Plasma Sword. This warrior class cuts an imposing figure on the battlefield and under the leadership othe the Arbiter, a true threat to the might of thier former Covenant masters.
| |
| | |
| ====Card 10 - Drones====
| |
| These insect-like [[Drone]]s give the Covenant their own organic air force. Swooping in and out of combat quickly, groups of Drones rain firepower down upon their enemies with lethal proficiency. Drones can be hard to hit in the air, meaning that a Marine without some cover and some patience might be in for a rough time. On the upside, Drones will frequently tire and need to land, exposing them to easier assault.
| |
| ====Card 11 - [[Hunters]]====
| |
| ====Card 12 - [[Brutes]]====
| |
| Rivals of the Elites and the newest members of the Covenant, the Brutes possess deadly weapons, dogged toughness, and impressive physical strength. Having supplanted the Elites as the Honor Gaurds of the Phophets after Master Chief slew the Prophet of Regret, the Brutes belive themselves superior to the other races of the Covenant. The Chieftain of the Brutes at the time of thier ascension is Tartarus, who wields the battle hammer called the Fist of Rukt.
