'''Fernando Esparza''' is a civilian contractor who worked in engineering on the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. During the attack on the ''Infinity'' by [[Banished]] forces, Esparza fled for [[Pelican]] [[Echo 216]], commandeering the craft and becoming stranded after the conflict. In [[2560#May|May 2560]] he had a chance encounter with [[Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] after being stranded in the [[dropship]] for 6 months around the shattered remains of the [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 07|ring]].<ref name="DH">''[[Discover Hope]]''</ref> He brought the Master Chief aboard the craft shortly before it came under attack. The two became inseparable as they both needed each other, albeit for different reasons.

==Biography==
{{Quote|We lost. Lost everything. There's nothing left for us here. I don't even know where here is.| Esparza lets the Chief know about their present situation.}}{{Ref/Reuse|DH}}
===Early life===
At some point in early [[2560]] Esparza was asleep in the cockpit of [[Echo 216|his]] [[Pelican]] around [[Installation 07]] when a shaking of the craft and repeated warnings suddenly woke him.{{Ref/Reuse|DH}} Pressure was building in multiple lines but he managed to initiate a protocol which caused the warnings to cease. Just then, however, a piece of debris impacted ''[[Echo 216]]'s'' rear, creating a breach. Esparza rushed to seal it and was successful in doing so, but in the process, he slipped and fell from the box he had been standing on to reach it. When he hit the floor [[holorecorder|a recording device]] came out of his pocket and rolled away. This device—containing a recorded message from his wife and daughter—was a small comfort to him over the weeks which followed, during which time he remained stranded in the low-powered Pelican near the damaged ring.{{Ref/Reuse|DH}}
Fernando Esparza was born on [[Charybdis IX]] on [[2518#May|May 7, 2518]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} He has a wife and a young daughter.{{Ref/Reuse|wg}}{{Ref/Note|Despite their prominent appearances in ''[[Discover Hope]]'' and the opening cinematic of the retail version of ''Halo Infinite'', the mother and daughter in Esparza's holorecorder were not mentioned by Esparza when the Weapon asked him whether he had any family or close ones in the level [[The Sequence]]. Based on his response (''"No... not anymore."''), it is possible they were killed at some point before May 2560.}}


Eventually, after repeated viewings of the same message his recording device lost power.{{Ref/Reuse|DH}} It was almost immediately after this, however, that ''Echo 216'' alerted him to the presence of a signal with a [[Identification friend or foe|friendly]] designation. He raced to the cockpit and hailed the signal, but before he could identify himself twice he wiped away frost on the cockpit window to reveal an armored [[Spartan]] floating nearby: [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]]. Bringing the hulking warrior aboard revealed that [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|his armor]]'s survival mode had been triggered. To override it, Esparza rerouted what little power remained to ''Echo 216'' into the armor, and was thrilled when parts of the Pelican's interior which had gone dark from a lack of energy suddenly flared to life thanks to the suit's [[fusion reactor]] recharging the Pelican's depleted batteries. Esparza enthusiastically welcomed the Chief back after seeing that he'd reawakened. He also noticed that something appeared to be wrong with the [[Wikipedia:Servomechanism|servos]] the man's gauntleted hands, but before he could locate a tool to check his armor's diagnostics John approached him and asked for a status report. This caught Esparza off guard, but he then realized the Chief may not know about what had happened to the nearby ring and so turned his attention to the cockpit. As the Spartan laid eyes on what remained of it he explained that they had lost everything here—though he added that he didn't even know where "here" was. Then, without warning, ''Echo 216'' was hit by the ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'' which generated electrical discharges within it and enveloped it in bright light. Esparza panicked at this and signaled to the Chief that he had witnessed this sort of attack before. He advised that they needed to flee, but John disagreed, insisting that he needed a weapon, being given a pistol with only a single bullet left. At that point, Esparza sealed himself within the cockpit while the Spartan took up a position in the troop bay. The Chief opened the rear hatch, lunging himself towards the warship and landing in one of it's many hangar bays.
===Battle for Zeta Halo===
{{Main|Battle for Zeta Halo}}
{{Quote|How long has it been since I met you? Six hours? Maybe seven. It's been... eventful. Six months on my own, surviving... barely. Seems like a dream now. This on the other hand... mostly feels like a nightmare. Mostly.|Esparza recounts his time at Zeta Halo to John-117.{{Ref/Reuse|sequence}}}}
On [[2559#December|December 12, 2559]], Esparza was onboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon arrival at [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Game|Id=ia4|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #04 - Arrival}} Upon hearing that Master Chief [[John-117]] was defeated, Esparza fled for [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]'',{{Ref/Reuse|sequence}} commandeering the craft and becoming stranded.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}{{Ref/Quest|Id=pdown|HI|Graveyards|[[Pelican Down (Halo Infinite level)|Pelican Down]]}} After being stranded in the [[dropship]] for six months, in [[2560#May|May 2560]],{{Ref/Generic|Id=Premiere|[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]}} he came across John-117 around the shattered remains of the [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 07|ring]]; the Spartan's armor triggered survival mode. Esparza brought John-117 onboard ''Echo 216'' and rerouted the Pelican's power to the Spartan's armor, awakening the Chief. Their introduction was brief, with Esparza revealing to the Master Chief that it's been nearly six months since the initial battle with the Banished over the ring. Then, without warning, ''Echo 216'' was hit by the ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]''{{'}}s stasis beam; Esparza began to panic, but the Chief resolved to fight, leaving the Pelican to infiltrate the warship. While Esparza recharged the Pelican's batteries, the Chief made his way to the dreadnought's bridge to shut down its stasis beam. However, the system was locked down, so the Spartan opted to scuttle the ship instead. Chief and ''Echo 216'' narrowly escaped the dreadnought's destruction; Esparza piloted the dropship to pickup the Spartan shortly afterwards.{{Ref/Reuse|wg}}


Almost immediately after fleeing the Spire with the Chief in tow, ''Echo 216'' was shot several times by [[Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft cannon]]s, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing in a shallow stream. The final impact which stopped the dropship's forward momentum knocked Esparza briefly unconscious, but when he came to panic and disbelief seized him immediately. The Master Chief attempted to calm him but with little success. Instead, being berated by Esparza for putting them both in their present predicament. The Spartan decided he needed to eliminate the cannons, of which he'd counted three, and instructed Esparza to remain put with the Pelican until he returned. Doubtful that he would be safe on his own, Esparza protested this. Before hitting the ground he'd spotted a number of [[Condor]]s and was determined to check whether any of them retained a working [[slipspace drive]] which they could use to flee the system. The Master Chief agreed to help him with such a search, but only after he'd first dealt with the cannons.
Esparza then reluctantly followed John-117's instruction to bring the Pelican to the subterranean section at the damaged portion of the ring. There, the Chief jumped out, in search of a UNSC signal.{{Ref/Quest|Id=foundation|HI|Ringfall|[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]}} The Spartan eventually emerged from the ring's surface, clearing out the garrison and landing pad at [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|Outpost Tremonius]] for ''Echo 216'' to land. Initially, Esparza was ecstatic to be on the ground, but was terrified when he was introduced to [[the Weapon]]—the source of the UNSC signal—who he mistook as [[Cortana]]. After John-117 clarified that Cortana was no longer a threat, to Esparza's dismay, the Weapon directed the two to another UNSC signal coming from [[Tower|a nearby Banished outpost]].{{Ref/Quest|HI|Ringfall|Outpost Tremonius}} Esparza piloted ''Echo 216'' to its vicinity, where John-117 launched a one-man assault on the outpost.{{Ref/Quest|HI|Lockdown|Recovery}}{{Ref/Quest|HI|Lockdown|The Tower}} The Chief was then led to [[Site Novem|a Banished excavation site]] into the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]], leaving Esparza waiting onboard ''Echo 216''.{{Ref/Quest|HI|Connections|Excavation Site}}{{Ref/Quest|HI|Connections|Conservatory}} Esparza flew ''Echo 216'' to extract the Chief when his mission led him to the destruction of a [[Reformation Spire]]; the Spartan jumped out of the collapsing Spire, forcing Esparza to bring the Pelican to a nosedive to catch the Chief in the Pelican's troop bay.{{Ref/Quest|Id=spire|HI|Connections|[[Spire (Halo Infinite level)|Spire]]}}


Later, while attempting to pick up the Chief and [[The Weapon]], Esparza was kidnapped by [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and taken to the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]], where he was tortured by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] in order to lure the Master Chief into a final confrontation. The Master Chief managed to kill both 'Rdomnai and Escharum and save Esparza. When the Master Chief showed respect to the fallen Escharum, Esparza was shocked and called Escharum a "monster". The Master Chief replied that in the end, Escharum was just a soldier who had died hoping that he'd done the right thing and questioning his choices.
[[File:HINF Pelican Down J117 Esparza.png|thumb|300px|John-117 empathizes with Esparza.]]
While ''Echo 216'' made its way to the next objective, it was shot several times by [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft cannon]]s, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing in a shallow stream. The final impact which stopped the dropship's forward momentum knocked Esparza briefly unconscious, but when he came to panic and disbelief seized him immediately. John-117 attempted to calm him but with little success; instead, he was berated by Esparza for putting them both in their present predicament. The Spartan decided he needed to eliminate the cannons, of which he'd counted three, and instructed Esparza to remain put with the Pelican until he returned. Doubtful that he would be safe on his own, Esparza protested this. Before hitting the ground he'd spotted a number of [[Condor]]s and was determined to check whether any of them retained a working [[slipspace drive]] which they could use to flee the system. John-117 agreed to help him with such a search, but only after he'd first dealt with the cannons. Esparza waited at the Pelican as he was instructed, until all three cannons were taken offline. He set out on his own to search the remains of the three Condors, but was distraught to find none had an intact slipspace drive. With the [[Hand of Atriox]] deployed nearby, Esparza hidden underneath a Condor's floor hatch until the Spartan defeated the Spartan Killers and rescued Esparza. Esparza broke down, revealing he had stolen ''Echo 216'', and called himself worthless in comparison to the fearless Master Chief. The Chief, in turn, revealed he also has made mistakes, citing his failure to protect Cortana and preventing her turn to being the [[Created]]'s [[Archon|leader]]. The Chief declared he would not fail Esparza, leaving the latter resolved to support the Spartan.{{Ref/Reuse|pdown}}


Esparza later picked up the Chief and the Weapon three days after the defeat of [[the Harbinger]]. He expressed relief upon seeing them, thinking that they'd been killed, and greeted the Chief with a hug. Prompted by the Weapon, Esparza, who'd only been known as Echo-216 until then, revealed his real name to the pair. The trio then flew off in their Pelican, ready to finish the fight against the remainder of the Banished on the ring. {{Linkbox|quote=yes|gallery=yes}}
Esparza then piloted ''Echo 216'' to the Command Spire, dropping off John-117 to access its interior.{{Ref/Reuse|sequence}} Later, while attempting to pick up the Chief and the Weapon, Esparza was kidnapped by [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and taken to the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]],{{Ref/Quest|Id=commandspire|HI|Reformation|The Command Spire}} where he was tortured by [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] in order to lure John-117 into a final confrontation.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}{{Ref/Quest|Id=repository|HI|Reckoning|Repository}} John-117 stormed the stronghold, defeating both 'Rdomnai and Escharum, thereby rescuing Esparza. Esparza was shocked when John-117 showed respect to the fallen Escharum, who he called a monster. John-117 replied that, in the end, Escharum was just a soldier who had died hoping that he had done the right thing.{{Ref/Quest|Id=hor|HI|Reckoning|House of Reckoning}} They retrieve ''Echo 216'', which Esparza flew to the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]] to drop off the Chief to confront the [[Harbinger]].{{Ref/Quest|Id=sa|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium}}

Fernando Esparza, nicknamed Echo 216 after the Pelican with the eponymous designation,[4] is a civilian contractor who worked in engineering on the UNSC Infinity.[1][5]

Biography[edit]

Early life[edit]

Fernando Esparza was born on Charybdis IX on May 7, 2518.[1] He has a wife and a young daughter.[2][Note 1]

Battle for Zeta Halo[edit]

Main article: Battle for Zeta Halo

"How long has it been since I met you? Six hours? Maybe seven. It's been... eventful. Six months on my own, surviving... barely. Seems like a dream now. This on the other hand... mostly feels like a nightmare. Mostly."
— Esparza recounts his time at Zeta Halo to John-117.[5]

On December 12, 2559, Esparza was onboard UNSC Infinity when it was ambushed by Banished forces upon arrival at Installation 07.[6] Upon hearing that Master Chief John-117 was defeated, Esparza fled for Pelican Echo 216,[5] commandeering the craft and becoming stranded.[1][3] After being stranded in the dropship for six months, in May 2560,[7] he came across John-117 around the shattered remains of the Halo ring; the Spartan's armor triggered survival mode. Esparza brought John-117 onboard Echo 216 and rerouted the Pelican's power to the Spartan's armor, awakening the Chief. Their introduction was brief, with Esparza revealing to the Master Chief that it's been nearly six months since the initial battle with the Banished over the ring. Then, without warning, Echo 216 was hit by the Ghost of Gbraakon's stasis beam; Esparza began to panic, but the Chief resolved to fight, leaving the Pelican to infiltrate the warship. While Esparza recharged the Pelican's batteries, the Chief made his way to the dreadnought's bridge to shut down its stasis beam. However, the system was locked down, so the Spartan opted to scuttle the ship instead. Chief and Echo 216 narrowly escaped the dreadnought's destruction; Esparza piloted the dropship to pickup the Spartan shortly afterwards.[2]

Esparza then reluctantly followed John-117's instruction to bring the Pelican to the subterranean section at the damaged portion of the ring. There, the Chief jumped out, in search of a UNSC signal.[8] The Spartan eventually emerged from the ring's surface, clearing out the garrison and landing pad at Outpost Tremonius for Echo 216 to land. Initially, Esparza was ecstatic to be on the ground, but was terrified when he was introduced to the Weapon—the source of the UNSC signal—who he mistook as Cortana. After John-117 clarified that Cortana was no longer a threat, to Esparza's dismay, the Weapon directed the two to another UNSC signal coming from a nearby Banished outpost.[9] Esparza piloted Echo 216 to its vicinity, where John-117 launched a one-man assault on the outpost.[10][11] The Chief was then led to a Banished excavation site into the Conservatory, leaving Esparza waiting onboard Echo 216.[12][13] Esparza flew Echo 216 to extract the Chief when his mission led him to the destruction of a Reformation Spire; the Spartan jumped out of the collapsing Spire, forcing Esparza to bring the Pelican to a nosedive to catch the Chief in the Pelican's troop bay.[14]

John-117 and Esparza
John-117 empathizes with Esparza.

While Echo 216 made its way to the next objective, it was shot several times by anti-aircraft cannons, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing in a shallow stream. The final impact which stopped the dropship's forward momentum knocked Esparza briefly unconscious, but when he came to panic and disbelief seized him immediately. John-117 attempted to calm him but with little success; instead, he was berated by Esparza for putting them both in their present predicament. The Spartan decided he needed to eliminate the cannons, of which he'd counted three, and instructed Esparza to remain put with the Pelican until he returned. Doubtful that he would be safe on his own, Esparza protested this. Before hitting the ground he'd spotted a number of Condors and was determined to check whether any of them retained a working slipspace drive which they could use to flee the system. John-117 agreed to help him with such a search, but only after he'd first dealt with the cannons. Esparza waited at the Pelican as he was instructed, until all three cannons were taken offline. He set out on his own to search the remains of the three Condors, but was distraught to find none had an intact slipspace drive. With the Hand of Atriox deployed nearby, Esparza hidden underneath a Condor's floor hatch until the Spartan defeated the Spartan Killers and rescued Esparza. Esparza broke down, revealing he had stolen Echo 216, and called himself worthless in comparison to the fearless Master Chief. The Chief, in turn, revealed he also has made mistakes, citing his failure to protect Cortana and preventing her turn to being the Created's leader. The Chief declared he would not fail Esparza, leaving the latter resolved to support the Spartan.[3]

Esparza then piloted Echo 216 to the Command Spire, dropping off John-117 to access its interior.[5] Later, while attempting to pick up the Chief and the Weapon, Esparza was kidnapped by Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai and taken to the House of Reckoning,[15] where he was tortured by War Chief Escharum in order to lure John-117 into a final confrontation.[1][16] John-117 stormed the stronghold, defeating both 'Rdomnai and Escharum, thereby rescuing Esparza. Esparza was shocked when John-117 showed respect to the fallen Escharum, who he called a monster. John-117 replied that, in the end, Escharum was just a soldier who had died hoping that he had done the right thing.[4] They retrieve Echo 216, which Esparza flew to the Silent Auditorium to drop off the Chief to confront the Harbinger.[17]

Esparza later picked up the Chief and the Weapon three days after the defeat of the Harbinger. He expressed relief upon seeing them, thinking that they'd been killed, and greeted the Chief with a hug. Prompted by the Weapon, Esparza, who had only been known as Echo 216 until then, revealed his real name to the pair. The trio then flew off in their Pelican, ready to defeat the remainder of the Banished on the ring.[17]

Personality and traits[edit]

"I'll be safe? Safe?! I haven't been "safe" since I found you! I found you, remember? You were out there on your own and you'd still be out there if it wasn't for me! I thought I was going home!"
— Esparza frustrated with the Master Chief after their Pelican was shot down by anti-air cannons.

Esparza is an emotive person, often showing his excitement,[18] despair,[3] and frustrations.[8] Esparza cares deeply for his wife and daughter, both of whom he missed terribly during the prolonged period of isolation he experienced aboard his Pelican. Even then, at the lowest point in his life, he demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Despite being out of food and water, and being cold, isolated, over-exerted, and trapped, he did not give up. When he eventually discovered the Master Chief, he felt relief and triumph.[2] His patience is not unwavering, however. He can be seen snapping at the Master Chief multiple times, irritated that his and the Spartan's motivations do not align.[8][3]

After the two bonded over their mistakes, Esparza learned to forgive himself for abandoning the UNSC and stealing Echo 216. He then held a more positive outlook in their situation, having learned to rely on the Chief and the Weapon to function as a team.[19] The closeness was especially highlighted when the Chief and the Weapon stormed the House of Reckoning to rescue Esparza despite overwhelming odds;[4] in turn, Esparza refused to give up and searched for the two after they disappeared when the Silent Auditorium collapsed.[17][19]

Production notes[edit]

"We're not talking a lot about the pilot at E3 this year. But he is a new character to the Halo universe and we're really taking our time to introduce the pilot and bring him in for players in a really careful way; where you get to learn about the pilot and emotionally connect with him throughout this piece. You'll be seeing the pilot more in Halo Infinite."
— 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee speaks to the pilot's introduction.[21]
  • Esparza is voiced and performance-captured by Nicolas Roye, and the character was named by Roye himself, after his two best friends from childhood.[22]
  • Details of Esparza 's character design, such as the UNSC logo on his flight suit, are meant to showcase the art direction pursued for Halo Infinite—one that draws significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise.[23] Echo 216 and her pilot were first introduced in the 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo trailer for Halo Infinite, dubbed "Discover Hope". His resuscitation of John-117 and the life and courage the Chief then brings him were meant to speak to the theme of rebirth.[20]
  • Both Mega Construx and Wicked Cool Toys have produced representations of the character that are available for purchase.[24][25] Wicked Cool Toys' figure comes armed with a CQS48 Bulldog and an earthen base to stand on.[25]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Despite their prominent appearances in Discover Hope and the opening cinematic of the retail version of Halo Infinite, the mother and daughter in Esparza's holorecorder were not mentioned by Esparza when the Weapon asked him whether he had any family or close ones in the level The Sequence. Based on his response ("No... not anymore."), it is possible they were killed at some point before May 2560.
