Before joining the UNSC, Cutter earned respect for standing up to [[Insurrectionists|terrorists]] in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system. Over time, he became the Captain of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, and is known to walk the ship at night to check on the crew. He is so well respected that [[coffee]] houses give him free coffee beans to take with him on long trips.<ref>[http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=3 Give the man some coffee].

Upon discovery of the Forerunner starmap beneath Harvest, Anders was convinced that the map pointed to the Human colony world of [[Arcadia (Planet)|Arcadia]], and managed to convince Cutter to set course for the planet. Upon arrival at Arcadia on February 9th 2531, Serina reported to Cutter that the colony had come under attack by the Covenant prior to their arrival, and was in the wake of a full invasion. Cutter ordered forces down onto the planet to evacuate civilian population centers. After evacuating [[Pirth City]], Cutter was informed of a Covenant energy dome on the surface of the planet, protecting Covenant forces searching for Forerunner artifacts and concealing their activities. Cutter ordered Anders down to the surface with Forge and UNSC forces for protection in order to deactivate the energy dome using plasma-based [[Rhino]]s. After clearing out Covenant forces under the dome, Anders was captured by  [[Arbiter (Title)|Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and brought aboard a Covenant ship. Forge was in strong favor of rescuing Anders, with [[Jerome-092]] referring to Anders capture as a "significant security breach". Cutter made the decision to peruse the Covenant ship, tracking Anders' signal.

Cutter made the decision to peruse the Covenant ship, tracking Anders' signal.  


This brought the ''Spirit'' to a Forerunner [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|installation]], where Anders' signal was found emitting from the "planet" surface. Cutter sent Forge down to the surface, where a [[Flood|parasitic lifeform]] was found to have infested the installation. After much battle with Covenant forces on the interior of the Shield World, Anders was eventually found, who had knowledge of a fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner warships]] that the Covenant planned to use against Humanity. Anders later devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering #Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], to destroy the ships before the Covenant could get their hands on them. Forge and the [[Red Team]] faced complications with the Elites and the former stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. Cutter, using a dangerous slingshot maneuver around the expanding sun, managed to escape the explosion of the sun, after which the ''Spirit of Fire'' began a long journey home. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she got them all out of there alive. As the pod closed, Anders reminded the Captain that not all of them survived before sleeping.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref>

Captain James Cutter was a Senior Officer in the UNSC Navy.[1] He was the commanding officer of the modified colony ship, the UNSC Spirit of Fire.[2] Cutter is known to have had a wife, Mary Cutter, and a daughter on Reach. Their fate is unknown.[3]

He appears as one of the three hero units in Halo Wars.[4]

Biography

Before joining the UNSC, Cutter earned respect for standing up to terrorists in the Epsilon Indi system. Over time, he became the captain of the UNSC Spirit of Fire, and is known to walk the ship at night to check on the crew. He is so well respected that coffee houses give him free coffee beans to take with him on long trips.[5]

James Cutter entered the UNSC School of the North Star on September 15th, 2500, where he studied astro-navigation and political science. He was then sent to the Officer Candidate School on June 19th, 2504 where he was taught in Command and Navigation. There, he entered naval service as a Lieutenant and Junior Navigation Officer on the UNSC Brilliant Shores on November 16th, 2507. He was later transferred to the UNSC Final Summit on January 9th, 2514, where he became the Chief Navigation Officer.

He achieved the rank of commander upon his transfer to the UNSC Glasgow on August 8th, 2519, a post he stayed at until his transfer to the Spirit of Fire on the fifth anniversary of his transfer to the Glasgow. He was given the rank of captain upon his arrival aboard the Spirit of Fire.

Before the Harvest Campaign, Cutter was offered command of the destroyer UNSC Prophecy, though he turned it down.[6]

With the outbreak of war with the Covenant, Cutter was handpicked by Admiral Preston Cole to command the Spirit of Fire in her new role as center of repair, supply, and forward deployment operations for Battlegroup D. Cutter participated in the Harvest Campaign in 2531.[7] He developed a close relationship with the ship's AI, Serina, but was suspicious as to the presence of Professor Ellen Anders, suspecting that there was more to her than met the eye.[8] After making a log on the "five years of hell" that led to the reclamation of the planet[9], Cutter and his ship still remained within the system. Cutter believed that although Harvest had been reclaimed by the UNSC, it was unlikely that the Covenant would simply back down. His belief was vindicated in a sense, considering that Sergeant John Forge alerted Cutter that the Covenant had uncovered something in the planet's northern polar region, with Professor Anders giving further proof of this claim. Cutter thus ordered that Alpha Base be brought online and the site be taken.[10] In the aftermath of the Harvest 'field trip', Cutter's level of trust towards Anders increased, impressed by the bravery she'd demonstrated down on the planet.[8]

Upon discovery of the Forerunner starmap beneath Harvest, Anders was convinced that the map pointed to the human colony world of Arcadia, and managed to convince Cutter to set course for the planet. Upon arrival at Arcadia on February 9th, 2531, Serina reported to Cutter that the colony had come under attack by the Covenant prior to their arrival, and was in the wake of a full invasion. Cutter ordered forces down onto the planet to evacuate civilian population centers. After evacuating Pirth City, Cutter was informed of a Covenant energy dome on the surface of the planet, protecting Covenant forces searching for Forerunner artifacts and concealing their activities. Cutter ordered Anders down to the surface with Forge and UNSC forces for protection in order to deactivate the energy dome using plasma-based Rhino artillery tanks. After clearing out Covenant forces under the dome, Anders was captured by Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee and brought aboard a Covenant ship. Forge was in strong favor of rescuing Anders, with Jerome-092 referring to Anders capture as a "significant security breach", suggesting that the Covenant ship be destroyed. Cutter made the decision to peruse the Covenant ship, tracking Anders' signal.

This brought the Spirit to a Forerunner installation, where Anders' signal was found emitting from the "planet's" surface. Cutter sent Forge down to the surface, where a parasitic lifeform was found to have infested the installation. After much battle with Covenant forces on the interior of the Shield World, Anders was eventually found. She had gained knowledge of a fleet of Forerunner warships that the Covenant planned to use against humanity. Anders soon devised a plan to use the Spirit of Fire's FTL reactor to cause the artificial sun inside the Shield World to go supernova, to destroy the ships before the Covenant could make use of them. Forge and SPARTAN Red Team defeated 'Moramee and his guards, although the reactor core was damaged. Forge stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. Cutter, using a dangerous slingshot maneuver around the expanding sun, managed to escape the explosion of the sun, after which the Spirit of Fire began a long journey home. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into cryo-stasis, stating that she "..got all of [them] out of there alive." As the pod closed, Anders reminded the captain that not everyone had survived.[11]
