Biography

Conscription

Ralph was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. Catherine Halsey in 2517 when he was six years old. He and the other Spartans were taken to the planet Reach and trained by the AI Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Mendez. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their abilities. Ralph was among the ones who survived without being crippled or killed by the procedure.

Escape

A few weeks after the augmentation procedures, Ralph, along with Daisy-023, Joseph-122, and two other Spartans, rebelled against their trainers, taking them hostage and demanding that Dr. Halsey let them leave. Halsey granted them freedom, and they escaped Reach as stowaways, hoping to return home to their parents. Soon after escaping, Ralph return home to meet his clone that he realized was sick. It seems that he suffered a psychological break and killed his clone. He was soon captured afterwards along with Daisy and Joseph and return to Reach.

Discharged and Childhood Years

Ralph was discharged from the Spartan II program due to his psychological condition. After his dismissal, he was adopted by a family where he lived a normal life. Although some of his gene treatments were curtailed and suppressed, there were some irreversible changes that made his appearance different then the other kids his own age when he assimilated into civilian life. Due to his upbringing and physiological differences, his transitional years were easier for him and there were some tendencies of bullying the weaker children but this was viewed as a phase and not a trend.

Military Career and Death

While still slightly more than baseline human,^[3] Ralph later enlisted and became a Marine, and later participated in the Harvest Campaign. During an engagement with the Covenant, Daisy-023 attempted to assist him and a group of other Marines. After being mortally wounded by Needler fire, Daisy-023 unsuccessfully attempted to cover the Marines' retreat. They and Ralph were killed by a Sangheili's Fuel Rod Gun while trying to escape in a Pelican.
