===Trivia===
*Ralph is one of only two SPARTAN-IIs (the other being Joseph-122) that serves in the UNSC Marine Corps, as opposed to alongside it. This may be an oversight on the part of the developers of ''Homecoming''.
*Ralph's SPARTAN tag, 303, is much too high. Dr Halsey's original concept for the SPARTAN-II program had been for 150 candidates, and 303 falls well outside this range. This may, once again, be an oversight on the part of the developers of ''Homecoming''.

Template:Ratings Template:SPARTAN Infobox Ralph-303 was a SPARTAN-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He later served in the UNSC Marine Corps for unknown reasons before being killed during an engagement with Covenant infantry on Harvest.[1]

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 that 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.

Later Career and Death

Through unknown means, Ralph stopped serving as a Spartan, 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. Because Ralph became a standard Marine, it is possible that he will be exempted from Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930 and listed as KIA.[1]
