James-005: Difference between revisions

'''James-005''' was a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] supersoldier and is one of the few Spartans that is truly [[MIA]]. Historically he was known for his calm demeanor and persistence, even under extreme circumstances.

James journeyed to [[Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552]] with [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Fred-104]], [[Joshua-029]], and a few other Spartans.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 178''</ref> Specifically, they went to reinforce [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Harland]] and his [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] at [[Côte d'Azur]], where they were fighting the [[Covenant]]. James served as a scout for the team at first, locating [[Grunt]] patrols and silencing them before they could find the rest of the UNSC forces. Later in the battle, he was critically wounded as a direct result of an encounter with [[Hunters]], getting an arm blown off from the elbow down by one's [[assault cannon]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 208''</ref> James did not give in to the pain, but he passed out on the trip back to the Marine base camp, only after helping John-117, Kelly-087, and Fred-104 immobilize both [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]] by crushing them under an enormous hunk of crystal quartz. John carried him onto a waiting [[D77-TC Pelican Dropship|Pelican]] where he, his Spartans, the Marines, and the rest of the surviving civilians made their escape.
