Sergeant Parker was a non-commissioned officer in the UNSC Marine Corps and an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.^[1]

Sergeant Parker was stationed aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn as part of the ODST detachment under First Lieutenant Melissa McKay in September 2552 during the Battle of Installation 04.

Biography[edit]

Battle of Installation 04[edit]

Main article: Battle of Installation 04

Parker was among the many personnel aboard the Pillar of Autumn when the ship made landfall on Installation 04 in September 2552. He, along with the rest of the ship's ODST complement, conducted a landing via drop pod in the opening hours of the conflict, and was able to survive the drop. After rallying with the rest of the battalion, Parker was tasked with leading a force of Marine personnel and Spartan John-117 in a mission to rescue the Autumn's Captain Jacob Keyes.^[1]

During the raid, Parker was injured during a close encounter with a Hunter, though was able to dispatch the creature with his M6D magnum. He continued to lead his team alongside the Master Chief to the ship's bridge, where he was ordered to stay put and wait for the Master Chief to retrieve the Captain from the brig.^[1] Whether Parker survived the ensuing fighting back to the ship's shuttle bay is unknown - though he was almost certainly killed by the time of the destruction of Installation 04 on September 22, alongside the rest of the UNSC contingent on the ring.

Personality and traits[edit]

During the raid on Truth and Reconciliation, Parker proved himself an efficient, personable leader. He was also very duty-minded, as he continued to fight even after sustaining a serious wound. He displayed a friendly inter-service rivalry with Master Chief, jokingly referring to him as a "swabbie" on multiple occasions.

Production note[edit]

Sergeant Parker acts as a canon replacement for the Sergeant Johnson NPC on the Halo: Combat Evolved level The Truth and Reconciliation.

-Like most of his commrades, Sergeant Parker abandoned the ''Autumn'' when it was attacked by the [[Covenant]] over [[Installation 04]] using a [[Human Entry Vehicle]] to "Helljump" to the surface of the installation. He then assisted in the attack on the mesa that would be [[Alpha Base]].

-Later, he led the ODST attatchment that accompanied the [[Master Chief]] on the mission to rescue [[Captain Keyes]], who was captured aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. Parker was tough and led his men well. After the drop off from [[Pelican]] [[Echo 419]], Parker and his ODSTs were very helpful to the Chief, but he felt that they slowed him down because they did not have the reflexes and combat skill other [[Spartans]] had.
