Formerly an officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Colonel Watts became a turncoat and a traitor some time before [[2513]], abandoning the military and joining the Eridanus Rebels. He led an insurrection in the [[Eridanus System]], which lasted for a number of years. Soon, though, he and his forces were put down in a battle called [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. | Formerly an officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Colonel Watts became a turncoat and a traitor some time before [[2513]], abandoning the military and joining the Eridanus Rebels.

He eventually became the leader of the rebels and governor of the rebel stronghold of [[Eridanus Secundus]]. He ensured that his operation ran smoothly and that it remained relatively hidden from the UNSC. This all changed when one of his spies was discovered. In [[2525]], he was captured by a team of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] led by [[John-117]], who sedated him using [[polypseudomorphine]]. They then brought Watts back to [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] for interrogation. It is likely he was executed for treason after the interrogations. | He eventually became the leader of the rebels and governor of the rebel stronghold of [[Eridanus Secundus]].

Colonel Watts enjoyed luxury items, such as [[Sweet William Cigars]], high-quality steaks, [[Beta Centauri]] vintage champagne, and Swiss chocolates. It was this vanity that helped the SPARTAN-II team quickly locate and secure him, by tagging the incoming delivery crates containing these items.<ref>''' | Colonel Watts enjoyed luxury items, such as [[Sweet William Cigars]], high-quality steaks, [[Beta Centauri]] vintage champagne, and Swiss chocolates.

*[[Colonial Military Administration]] personnel, who by 2525 were often having their loyalty called into question, often pointed out that Watts was a former UNSC Marine, which resulted in many bar fights between CMA and UNSC Marines.<ref>''' | *[[Colonial Military Administration]] personnel, who by 2525 were often having their loyalty called into question, often pointed out that Watts was a former UNSC Marine, which resulted in many bar fights between CMA and UNSC Marines.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 109''</ref> | ||
