Sergeant Tink Carter was a UNSC Marine and Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. In 2552, he was assigned to the Pillar of Autumn as part of First Lieutenant Melissa McKay's unit, as the Company Sergeant. When the vessel came under Covenant attack, he "hell-jumped" to the surface of Installation 04 along with the rest of the unit's ODSTs in a Human Entry Vehicle.[1]
After landing, Major Antonio Silva ordered McKay to take an enemy controlled mesa that would later become Alpha Base. Carter was present during that assault, and served as McKay's tactical second in command during the operation. He displayed many roughneck personality traits similar to Sergeant Avery J. Johnson. As the tactical senior Non-Commisioned Officer, he would not often stay near McKay, as he was not allowed to. Tactical NCO's are always ordered to stay several men away from the commander, so they cannot both be killed by a grenade.
He may have been killed or otherwise incapacitated early on in the combat, as he is replaced by Master Sergeant Lister as senior company NCO by the time of the attack on the Pillar of Autumn. However, only half the company was present at this battle, and though many already were killed or wounded, he may have been leading an element of the company elsewhere.
He is not mentioned afterwards, but he is KIA in all probability, as there are numerous opportunities for him to die during the fighting on Halo or its subsequent destruction.
