'''Sith Venator''': Mark is actually the first Spartan-III to die since Halo: Reach, and the first Eric Nylund created character to die since The Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston J. Cole. So it’s a death I welcome if not just to remind the audience that these characters aren’t unkillable. It was also a very haunting death I won’t soon forget. Props to Mr. Denning on that scene. | '''Sith Venator''': Mark is actually the first Spartan-III to die since Halo: Reach, and the first Eric Nylund created character to die since The Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston J.

'''TheArb1ter117''': I applaud Denning for being willing to kill off a Spartan with a sizable amount of lore behind them. That must not have been an easy decision, but it was a necessary one. Far too often, ''Halo'' media treats Spartans as unbeatable demigods, leading to many fans simply assuming that their favorite Spartan will somehow come out unscathed even when facing the most overwhelming odds. Once Mark-G313 had been so injured that some of his intestines had begun falling out of the gash on his stomach, I knew it was over for him...I just didn’t know when the end would come. I assumed that he would go out a hero, killing Bhasvod or Castor or ‘Gadogai right before they lighted the rings, as would be | '''TheArb1ter117''': I applaud Denning for being willing to kill off a Spartan with a sizable amount of lore behind them.

Once Mark-G313 had been so injured that some of his intestines had begun falling out of the gash on his stomach, I knew it was over for him...I just didn’t know when the end would come. I assumed that he would go out a hero, killing Bhasvod or Castor or ‘Gadogai right before they lighted the rings, as would be the cliché. Instead, he survived that climactic encounter and was bested by the Prelate who simply snuck up behind him and snapped his neck as he waited for a rescue team that wasn’t far off. It was tragic and abrupt. Not every hero is fortunate enough to get a hero’s death. I liked Mark, but truthfully I’m just glad it wasn’t Olivia, who is by far my favorite of the group. | ||
