Shane-A112: Difference between revisions

'''Shane''' was a [[Spartan-III]] supersoldier. He was born on [[2525]] and was orphaned when his parents were killed in [[The Battle of Harvest]] in 2531. He was sent to an orphanage after he was evacuation until he volunteered for the Spartan-III project at age six. He swore to get revenge on the [[Covenant]] for killing his family and destroying his home planet.  

Shane was sent to [[Camp Currahee]] on [[Onyx]] to be trained with Alpha Company. The first day there, he was pushed out of a [[Pelican]] by another [[Spartan]] recruit, [[Robert]], during a [[Falcon Wing]] descent exercise during night fall. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 74.</ref> When they both landed on the ground, he and [[Robert]] began to fight, and had to be broken up by [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]] and "[[Kurt|Lt. Ambrose]]" <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 77</ref>

He eventually grew close to [[Robert]] and [[Jane]], and together they were part of [[Team Wolf Pack]]. He was killed during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]], along with all 300 of the Spartans of Alpha Company, by a [[Plasma]] Mortar that caused him to fly in the air and land face first, unmovingly. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 86-87.</ref>Actually Shane along with Jane and Robert were actually the three remaining Spartans out of Alpha Company fighting together in Operation PROMETHEUS. The last time Shane is however seen alive is when Kurt together with Colonel Ackerson, Mendez, Vice Admiral Parangosky and Rear Admiral Rich watches him fight for a moment through a unknown spartans video cam until he, along with [[Team Wolf pack]]. died<ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 87</ref>

He is most likely assumed to be killed in action but without any evidential proofs he must be listed as MIA or WIA, since SPARTANS are never listed as KIA...

It is also worth mentioned that Kurt disliked the fact that SPARTAN-III's were only sent out on high risk operations wearing less protection than the SPARTAN II's.  The differences between the more expensive but more effective MJOLNIR suit and the SPARTAN-III's SPI (Semi-powered infiltration armor) made it more difficult for SPARTAN-III's to survive. Kurt also knew that the candidates for the SPARTAN III program didn't completely matched the perfect psychological and genetic markers set in Dr. Halsey's original selection protocols. <ref>Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, Eric Nylund, page 68</ref>
