Mark-G313: Difference between revisions

The best marksman of the company, they called him "''The'' Mark". Good with a [[sniper rifle]], but better with a rifle in a target-rich free-for-all <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 116</ref>. He was present when the [[Onyx]] [[Sentinels]] attacked [[Gamma Company]]. Mark also fought in the [[Battle of Onyx]] <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 356</ref>, which he survived because [[Spartan-051|Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose]] ordered him through the Slipspace portal which lead to the [[Micro Dyson Sphere|Dyson Sphere]] <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 365</ref>.

Mark was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program, developed by [[Colonel James Ackerson|James Ackerson]] around [[2546]] between the ages of 5 and 7 when he, along with other orphans volunteered to become Spartans and avenge his family, home planet, or just because he wanted to be like the man in green(Kurt in his [[MJOLNIR]] armor). Once on Onyx, he and the other spartan candidates were trained by [[Franklin Mendez|Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez]]; surviving [[Beta Company]] SPARTAN-IIIs [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]]; and SPARTAN-II, [[Lieutenant Commander Ambrose]] aka [[SPARTAN-051]].

Mark was assigned to [[Team Saber]], under the command of [[Ash-G099]]. When Onyx came under attack by Sentinels, the teams were still vying for top honors. Team Saber went dangerously close to [[Zone 67]] to avoid the other teams. The team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of [[covenant]] drone because of the energy shields. They decided to investigate and the sentinels engaged. Mark remained with the team as they tried to figure out the weak spots of the drones. He and the rest of the team hurled rocks at the drones and to their surprise, the drone's shields did not activate. The sentinel chased Ash into a hole and Mark and the rest of the team pummeled the drone with huge rocks, destroying it.
