Line 49:

A month later, Buck and his squad guarded Vergil at an [[ONI orbital facility]]. They watched as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] interrogated the Engineer.

==~~Trivia~~==

==Production notes==

*Canonically, Buck's [[blood type]] is O-.<ref name="squad"/> However, in ''Halo: Reach'', his MEDREF patch shows his blood type to be O+. This is because he has the same character model as all other ODSTs in the game, as he is not meant to be seen up close.

*Buck is voiced by, and his appearance is modeled on, [[Nathan Fillion]], who also starred in ''[[Halo 3]]'' as [[Reynolds|Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds]]. Fillion has described Buck as ''"...a bit hardened and a bit cranky."''<ref>'''NBC news''': ''Tech Watch - In-Game: Nathan Fillion on Halo 3 ODST''</ref>

**Some of Buck's lines, such as ''"Gorram!"'' and ''"Bam, said the lady!"'' come from the television shows ''[[Wikipedia: Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Castle (TV series)|Castle]]'', respectively; Fillion plays the starring roles of both shows. On ''Firefly'', Fillion acted with both [[Adam Baldwin]] and [[Alan Tudyk]], who respectively provided the voices of Dutch and Mickey in ''Halo 3: ODST''.

*In ''Halo 3: ODST'', Buck is unlocked for play in [[Firefight]] by getting the [[Tayari Plaza (Achievement)|Tayari Plaza]] [[achievement]]. In ''Halo: Reach'', Buck's voice can be purchased for 15,000 [[credit]]s for use in Firefight mode.

*Buck is the first character in the ''Halo'' series to speak while being controlled by the player.

*In [[Cavemen|an Easter egg]] in the epilogue cutscene after the credits, if the player looks to the left near the end of Johnson's talk with the rogue Huragok, the camera will pan over to Buck standing next to a [[Cavemen|caveman]], he attempts to groom and eat off it.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5aunIad9Oc '''YouTube''': ''Halo 3: ODST - Epilogue Cutscene Easter Egg (HD)'']</ref>

*Rarely, if the player jumps with Buck somewhere in a vehicle, he will sing the first few bars of "Dixie" in reference to ''[[wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]]''.

*In the level ''New Alexandria'' in ''Halo: Reach'', the player can follow Buck into the building after he lands, but he will disappear after a few moments.

*Buck is the first playable character in the Halo series to speak while being controlled by the player.
