'''SPARTAN-B312''', also known as '''Noble 6''', is the most recent addition to [[Noble Team]]. His specialty is assault, and he performs it with skill. In combat he earned the rating "hyper-lethal", which only the [[Master Chief]] had attained as well. He is a Spartan-III, and is labeled as a skilled assassin during battle. He tends to go solo during missions, despite the fact that he is also a team member of Noble Team. This [[Spartan]] has earned the respect of his peers with his skill in battle against the [[Covenant]] as they invade [[Reach]].

Noble Six is remarked to be a skilled assassin and "...more of a hyper-lethal vector than a soldier," as evidenced from Noble Six's heavily redacted personnel file. Noble Six has a tendency to "go solo" during missions, much to the dismay of superiors.<ref name="profile"/>

SPARTAN-B312 is the main protagonist in the upcoming game, ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. To integrate player relation with B312, players can pick what gender they wish Noble Six to be, with separately recorded voices for each gender.<ref name="BWU03">[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_030510 '''Bungie.net''': ''BWU 03.05.10'']</ref> It has also been confirmed that Six is not a "strong silent type", and will speak openly in the game.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061810 '''Bungie.net''': ''BWU 06.18.10'']</ref><ref name="gamersyde">[http://gamersyde.com/stream_halo_reach_gc_presentation_part_1-16673_en.html '''Gamersyde''': ''Halo Reach - GC: Presentation part 1'']</ref> Players' [[Multiplayer]] and [[Firefight]] character models will also be the same as in the campaign, adding further customization to SPARTAN-B312's character.

==Biography==
{{Quote|Six has made entire militia groups disappear. Curious... hyper lethal... there's only one other Spartan with that rating.|[[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]<ref name="rise">[[Halo: Reach ViDoc: A Spartan Will Rise|'''Halo: Reach ViDoc''': ''A Spartan Will Rise'']]</ref>}}
===Early career===
SPARTAN-B312 was taken out of [[Beta Company]] immediately after training, according to a communiqué from [[Kurt-051|Kurt Ambrose]] to [[Franklin Mendez]] that was sent in [[2545|May 2545]] (two months before [[Operation: TORPEDO]]).<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=personnel&cid=24040 '''Bungie.net''': ''Beta Company Assessment'']</ref>
 
===Later career===
Over the course of B312's career, the SPARTAN gained a reputation as an efficient lone wolf assassin, having single-handedly broken organizations and made entire [[Insurrectionist|militia groups]] disappear.<ref name="profile"/> B312 was also involved with a top-secret UNSC project called the "Sabre Program," which resulted in the development of the [[Sabre]] space fighter. Little else is known about the program or the level of B312's involvement.<ref name="e32010">'''Halo: Reach''': ''[[Halo: Reach E3 Campaign Demo|E3 Campaign Demo]]''</ref><ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=2010E3 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo: Reach E3 2010 Trailer'']</ref>
 
At one point, B312's superior allegedly used the SPARTAN as "his own private grim reaper", and because of this, he was reluctant to have the Spartan assigned to Noble Team. On [[2552#July|July 24, 2552]], SPARTAN-B312 was assigned to Noble Team as a replacement for its previous sixth member, [[Thom-293]].<ref name="profile"/> Six, having recently arrived on Reach, joined the team just in time to participate in an operation to investigate a communications blackout at the [[Visegrad Relay]], a mission which led to the first confrontation with Covenant forces on the planet.<ref name="gamersyde"/>
 
===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of Reach}}
During the final weeks before Reach's eventual glassing, Noble Six partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on Reach along with the rest of Noble Team, including a night-time reconnaissance mission with [[Jun-A266]]<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' level ''[[Nightfall]]''</ref> and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant base.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' level ''[[Tip of The Spear]]''</ref>
 
At some point in the battle, Noble Team helped UNSC ground forces repel Covenant invaders from a UNSC base, which housed a [[Unnamed Sabre launch facility|Sabre launch facility]]. SPARTAN-B312 and [[Jorge-052]] were then launched into orbit in a Sabre to assist the [[Epsilon Eridani Defense Fleet]] in a space battle against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], in a UNSC counter-offensive codenamed [[Operation: UPPERCUT]].<ref name="e32010"/>
 
==Trivia==
*SPARTAN-B312 is not shown on the box art of ''Halo: Reach'', nor featured in any promotional image of Noble Team. This is most likely done to avoid portraying Noble Six as outside the player's control, preventing them from building a definitive mental image for the character, as Noble Six's armor and even gender will vary depending on the player's choice.
*At this point, SPARTAN-B312 is displayed as having the default [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor with the [[Mark V(B) MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mark V[B] helmet]] and gray coloration. This is also done to avoid portraying Noble Six as a character outside the player's control, as Noble Six's appearance will depend on the player's armor customization and gender choice. Despite this, Noble Six's helmet has the [[External Hardened Uplink|HUL]] attachment in the [[Halo: Reach Video Games Awards Trailer|''Halo: Reach'' Video Games Awards Trailer]]; however, it has been changed to fully default equipment in all material since then.
*In the Video Game Awards Trailer, Jorge-052 remarks "Didn't think anyone survived Pegasi, sir" upon seeing Noble Six for the first time, in reference to [[Operation: TORPEDO]], a mission on [[Pegasi Delta]] which led to [[SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company]]'s near-total annihilation. This line is not present in the final game, likely due to the fact that SPARTAN-B312 never took part in the operation in the first place, having been taken out of Beta Company directly after training.
