Sergeant "'''Ghost'''" was in the Hades Corps of the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Engineering Corps|Corps of Engineers]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian]]''</ref> He was known for being cold, showing little to no emotion towards anything.

He was known among local Marines after an engagement with [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces that left his entire platoon decimated. During that incident, a dying Marine asked Ghost to be human for once, as he came across as a cold-hearted, soulless individual. The Marine died in his arms, and Ghost "died inside", crying out into the sky and vowing to avenge his fallen platoon.

===Battle of Algolis===

Ghost was deployed with the Hades Corps to destroy navigation material and prototype weapons during the [[Battle of Algolis]], as per the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. At first it appeared that he had disobeyed orders to destroy a set of [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Armor Defense System|prototype powered armor]] by joining the battle in it. However, he insisted that he was performing his duty by using the time left until self-destruct initiation to provide cover for the Marines' and civilians' extraction.

Ghost held off the Covenant forces long enough for a group of evacuation shuttles to escape, and was overwhelmed shortly thereafter. Seeing that the evacuation shuttles had escaped safely, Ghost commented on his newfound humanity before uttering the code to activate the armor's nuclear self-destruct feature: "Be human." The resulting blast annihilated Ghost and the surrounding Covenant infantry.

A Marine commanding officer in orbit above Algolis edited a log of the events, redacting requests for Ghost to be court-martialed, marking him as [[Missing In Action]], and stating that he had demonstrated great conduct as a Marine and as a human being.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[Prototype]]''</ref>
