In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Parker was killed along with his squad in the Covenant control center by two camouflage Sangheili while awaiting for the Chief to retrieve Captain Keyes from the brig. However, according [[Halo: The Flood|the novel]], Parker was still alive and that the Chief simply regrouped with him after successfully rescuing Captain Keyes. Regardless, he died during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], along with the rest of the ODST contingent of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' (save for [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Locklear]]). Also, in the novel, Parker is stated to be male, but after he is wounded by a Hunter in the cargo bay, Parker is oddly stated to be female.
