Biography[edit]

Fall of Reach[edit]

Main article: Fall of Reach

When Reach was attacked, O'Brien, along with Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, PFC Wallace Jenkins, and Private Bisenti, were stationed above the planet. They were fighting a very large group of Kig-yar boarders with difficulty when MCPO John-117 and PO2s Linda-058 and James-005 boarded the station to destroy the logs of the ONI ship, UNSC Circumference.^[1] O'Brien and his Marine companions helped them accomplish this task, although James was lost and Linda was badly wounded. When they completed their mission, they were taken by a D77-TC Pelican dropship to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, escaping the ensuing destruction of Reach.^[2]

Production notes[edit]

While the subsequent whereabouts of Johnson, Bisenti, and Jenkins on Installation 04 are known, it is unclear what happened to O'Brien. In Halo: The Flood, the Master Chief briefly encounters an unnamed wounded marine on the Pillar of Autumn who he remembers rescuing from an orbital station above Reach. This may be O'Brien.

-He was picked up with Johnson and the Chief when they took a [[Pelican]] and flew back to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. When the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was boarded, John-117 recognized him (but did not remember his name) and saved him from a Kig-yar soldier. He was killed either when the [[Covenant]] boarded the ''Pillar of Autumn'' or during the  [[Battle of Installation 04]].

-It is likely he was the [[Crazed Marine]] from the [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|Raid on the weapons cache]]. When John-117 encounters Johnson's squad, Jenkins and Bisenti are also part of it. The Crazed Marine only mentions Johnson, Bisenti, and Jenkins, and not [[Mendoza]], however Mendoza's body is found later.
