Template:Ratings Template:Human Character Infobox Tech Petty Officer Samuel N. Marcus (Service Number: 18827-318209-M[1]) was a UNSC Technician aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552.
Samuel Marcus was tasked with reviving Spartan-117 from his cryo sleep before the Pillar of Autumn's crash landed on Installation 04. He was a friend of Tech Chief Thom Shephard. He had not seen his wife, Ellen Marcus, in three years as she lived on Earth and the war simply did not allow him the time to visit her. He could only look at her in a photo.
He was killed by a single Elite who was amongst the first wave of the Covenant boarding party. Sam could hear the Elite just outside the control room and called for security. Thom Shephard and John-117 could only watch as the Elite warrior entered the control room. Sam issued a cry of "Oh God!", before getting hit by a plasma bolt in the chest. Lying on the floor, he tried to reach a photo of his wife, Ellen. The Elite who shot him then walked forward and pinned Marcus's arm to the floor with its foot and examined the picture. Helpless, Marcus was executed when the Elite shot him in the head with its Plasma rifle.
Trivia
- There is no way to save him, even if you use the camera cheat in Halo CE and try to kill the Elite (it's invincible).
- You can see his body with another crewman when you reach the Cryo control room later in the level, though, this is only seen in the Halo: PC version. (Check Picture)
