Biography

Shortly after John-117 arrived at Cairo Station, the Master Gunnery Sergeant fitted him with the Mark VI armor that Maria-062 had tested earlier. The Master Gunnery Sergeant also briefed the Master Chief on the shields of the new armor. The Sergeant was initially annoyed with how much damage the Chief's old Mark V armor had taken, but then decided it was all obsolete anyway. He was also curious about how Sergeant Major Avery Johnson managed to survive the Battle of Installation 04, but Johnson told him it was "classified". As a result, the Gunnery Sergeant replied that Johnson could forget the adjustments to his A2 scope he had asked the Gunnery Sergeant to make.

Later, he was killed when Covenant forces invaded the station. Two Sangheili entered his armory and fired upon him, and he returned fire with a shotgun. He was soon killed by the pair of Elites as John-117 entered his armory to assist him. His dying words were:

  • Master Gunnery Sergeant (Easy/Normal): "Get the hell out of my armory, split-lip!"
  • Master Gunnery Sergeant (Heroic): "Tell your buddies I got enough ammo for all of 'ya!"
  • Master Gunnery Sergeant (Legendary): "Come on, is that a weapon or a flashlight? Oh, dangit—!"
