Biography

Conscription

Ralph was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. Catherine Halsey in 2517 when he was six years old. He and the other Spartans were taken to the planet Reach and trained by the AI Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Mendez. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their abilities. Ralph was among the ones who survived without being crippled or killed by the procedure.

Escape

A few weeks after the augmentation procedures, Ralph, along with Daisy-023, Joseph-122, and two other Spartans, rebelled against their trainers, taking them hostage and demanding that Dr. Halsey let them leave. Halsey granted them freedom, and they escaped Reach as stowaways, hoping to return home to their parents.

Later Career and Death

Ralph was discharged from the program after failing a later set of augmentations. While still slightly more than baseline human,[3] Ralph stopped serving as a Spartan, became a Marine, and later participated in the Harvest Campaign. During an engagement with the Covenant, Daisy-023 attempted to assist him and a group of other Marines. After being mortally wounded by Needler fire, Daisy-023 unsuccessfully attempted to cover the Marines' retreat. They and Ralph were killed by a Sangheili's Fuel Rod Gun while trying to escape in a Pelican.
