'''Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds''' is a [[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Staff Non-Commissioned Officer]] and an Infantryman in the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]]''</ref>
==Biography==
[[File:Sgt.Reynolds.jpg|150px|thumb|Reynolds jumping down from the log bridge after being saved by [[John-117]] from the [[Brute Captain]].]]
During the [[Battle of Earth]], he and [[Bravo Team|his squad]] of marines were involved in the search for the Spartan named John-117. While his team was searching for John-117, he alerted [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] to the fact that there was [[Covenant Loyalist]] activity nearby. However, doing so gave away his position and he and his squad immediately came under attack by a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|"Phantom" Troop Carrier]] and all of Bravo, save for him, were killed.
A [[Brute Captain]] soon confronted Reynolds atop a log bridge and demanded the location of the Marine Base (Crows Nest), but Reynolds' only response was "kiss my ass." Just then, John-117's squad intervened and saved Reynolds from certain death. Reynolds then jumped off the bridge, grabbed an [[MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle]] from one of his fallen [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], and informed the [[John-117|Spartan]] of his situation before joining him in his mission to rendezvous with [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] at a nearby [[Crow's Nest (Base)|UNSC Outpost]].
===Battle of Voi===
During the Battle of Earth in [[Kenya]], Reynolds aided [[John-117|SPARTAN John-117]] in his attempts to eliminate [[Covenant Loyalist]] forces in [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] with the aid of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] Infantryman. They were successful, though the underground base was later destroyed.
After the [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Battle of the Crow's Nest]], Reynolds, with the help of [[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker]], rallied some [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], and found [[SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] in an elevator that he escaped from [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] in. They took the [[Warthog]]s from the base's motorpool and engaged  [[Covenant Loyalist]] infantry and armored forces in and around the [[Tsavo Highway (Location)|Tsavo Highway]] connecting [[Voi]], [[Mombasa]], and [[Arusha]].
Later, his platoon pushed forward and made an assault on [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]] in [[Voi|South Voi]]. There, they eliminated [[Covenant Loyalist]] armor and anti-air batteries, paving the way for [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]]'s [[UNSC Home Fleet|Home Fleet]] to engage the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. He also aided in cleansing the area during the [[Flood]] infection.
After cleansing the surrounding area, [[UNSC]] forces regrouped up on the [[Covenant Separatist|Separatist]] [[Assault Carrier|Carrier]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' where [[Terrence Hood|Admiral Hood]] and [[Fleet Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] talked about an assault on [[Covenant Loyalist]] forces through the [[Portal]].
===Battle of Installation 00===
[[File:GySgt Reynolds.jpg|150px|thumb|Reynolds in Traxus Factory Complex 09 in [[Voi]].]]
During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], Reynolds, [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Stacker]] and [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] organized a makeshift [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] armored unit from the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' for an assault on [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. He helped [[Gunnery Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Stacker]] and [[SPARTAN-117]] lead a platoon of [[M808 Scorpion MBT]]s against a battalion-sized [[Covenant Loyalist|Loyalist]] armored force outside of the complex, and later a lurking Type-47 UHAP [[Scarab]].
Later in the battle, he was part of an assault to destroy infantry and armored forces on the outskirts and beachhead of the [[The Covenant (Level)|Citadel]], which the [[Prophet of Truth]] was located in. He also helped in deactivating the first shield control structure with [[John-117]].
===Current Status===
It is speculated that he was KIA, (killed in action) because his picture can be seen on the [[Hillside Memorial]].
==Trivia==
*Reynolds makes another appearance in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' during most of the missions with Marine allies. Notably this time, he is able to also don a standard-issue helmet, rather than the utility cover.
*He often uses [[Pete Stacker (Marine)|Pete Stacker's]] lines, such as "You remember me, from New Mombasa?"
*It is possible for the player to just let the Brute kill Reynolds and not intervene. The Brute will punch him in the face, crack his spine and throw him off the bridge and onto the ground below. However, he will appear in the following levels regardless, similar to Sergeant Johnson's "immortality" in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''.
*After Reynolds is rescued, he runs unarmed over to a rock where a [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C]] conveniently lies and arms himself. It is possible (if you have a different weapon) to run over, swap the MA5C leaning on the rock for something else, and watch Reynolds take a MA5C out of nowhere. Or, if you're low on ammo for your Assault Rifle, you could take it all and he would still grab one from thin air.
*On levels such as Crow's Nest, where dead marines often appear around the level, Reynolds is often one of them. On the level Sierra 117, it is possible to have three Reynolds: the live one you save from the Brute, a dead one leaning on a rock shortly after ''Charlie Foxtrot'' behind the small bunkers, and another dead one by the machine gun turret next to a magnum.
*Reynolds is voiced by Hollywood actor [[Nathan Fillion]], best known for his role in the canceled Fox TV series ''Firefly'' and its spin-off feature film ''Serenity''. Both Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk, who also starred in ''Firefly'' and ''Serenity'', voiced UNSC Marines in ''Halo 3''. Incidentally, Fillion's ''Firefly/Serenity'' character's last name was also Reynolds. The same character was also a Sergeant in the Unification War. Fillion also voices Gunnery Sergeant [[Edward Buck]] in ''Halo 3: ODST''.
*During the [[Flood]] infestation on [[Earth]], Reynolds was guarding the loading ramp where Flood attack him and a squad of Marines. He can be saved, but it is difficult. You need to focus on the [[Infection Form]]s that fall around him because he is their main target and is killed very quickly unless protected well.
*On [[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]], [[Stacker]] and Reynolds switch roles. While one is on the ramp, the other is fighting [[Flood]] within the factory complex.
*If Reynolds' body appears as a standard marine with a helmet, a player can shoot the helmet off, making it turn into a sergeant's cap. This is common on Crow's Nest.
