Biography

According to the E3 2000 demo, Geoff was serving on the Pillar of Autumn in 2552, which crash-landed on Halo. There, Geoff and the rest of his squad were to infiltrate a Covenant held bunker. Geoff and two of his squadmates drove there on a Warthog, Geoff riding shotgun, while the other three members got there on foot.

Geoff and the rest of the squad broke into the bunker, but lost Sigurd in the process. He and McLees were tasked with guarding the entrance door to the bunker. They failed in their attempt to help their sergeant, who was ambushed and killed. Geoff escaped in a Ghost, while McLees covered him. Followed by two Ghosts and Banshees, his Ghost got shot down, however he was saved in time by the Master Chief. The two of them were the only survivors of the mission.

He most likely died when Master Chief destroyed Alpha Halo. However since his character resembles Dubbo he may of survived.

Trivia

• The E3 2000 demo was shot while Bungie was still working on the game. Some aspects of the demo say that it isn't canon. For instance, the Master Chief was in the demo, while in both Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: The Flood there was never a mention of the Master Chief participating in such mission.
