Born in [[Damask]] on [[Jericho VII]] before [[Battle of Jericho VII|its]] [[glassing]] on [[2535#February|February 12, 2535]],{{Ref/Reuse|Background}} B312 was one of the 418 candidates claimed in [[2537]] by ONI's [[Beta-5 Division]] for training in Beta Company of the SPARTAN-III program. Like the others, 312 was a child orphaned by the [[Covenant]] and subsequently recruited with the promise of revenge. During their training, B312 and a few other Spartan-IIIs (designated "cat 2") outshone their teammates well enough that these select few were handpicked by Lieutenant Commander [[Kurt Ambrose]] to be assigned to separate special force units outside the general population of Beta Company. Thus, these Spartans did not participate in [[Operation: TORPEDO]], the suicide mission that resulted in the deaths of almost all of Beta Company. Because of the concealed nature of his survival, B312's existence became classified and the Spartan was deployed as a black operator and assassin under the Office of Naval Intelligence.
SPARTAN-B312 was born in the city of [[Damask]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Jericho VII]] on [[2530#January|January 30, 2530]].{{Ref/Reuse|Background}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P99}} He ultimately survived the colony's [[Battle of Jericho VII|glassing]] by the [[Covenant]] on [[2535#February|February 12, 2535]],<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 22-23'' (2010 edition)</ref> presumably becoming orphaned like many of the [[Spartan-III]]s. Circa [[2539]],{{Ref/Anthology|Id=LL|Fra|Story=Lessons Learned}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P106|Enc22|Page=106}}{{Ref/Note|Id=Beta|''[[Lessons Learned]]'' establishes that Beta Company members Tom-B292 and Lucy-B091 were six years old when they started their training. Page 106 of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' establishes that Tom and Lucy were born on April 14, 2533 and January 28, 2533, respectively. This makes Beta Company's start date somewhere between April 2539 and January 2540.}} B312 was one of the 418 candidates recruited in the Spartan-III program's [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]] by ONI's [[Beta-5 Division]] with the promise of revenge.
