Biography
In 2517, Li was abducted at the age of six, when Dr. Catherine Halsey singled him out as a perfect, genetic match for the Spartan-II program. He was abducted from his home and replaced with a flash clone. He was then taken to Reach, where he was trained with the rest of the Spartan candidates by Deja and Chief Petty Officer Mendez.
Li was one of the SPARTAN- II's zero-gravity combat and martial arts specialists. He had acquired these skills prior to 2552 while training, at Chiron Test Station, Mars.[1]
In 2552, he was assigned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and was present at the Battle of Reach. During the battle, his team deployed from the ship to defend the Orbital Defense Generators but their Pelican dropship, Bravo 001, was shot down. Li then regrouped with the rest of the Spartans, and was assigned to "Team Gamma" by Frederic-104, along with Anton-044 and Grace-093. Their objective was to rescue Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb.[2] The group was successful, in rescuing Admiral Whitcomb, but Frederic-104 ordered them to stay in hiding because their fall back point was hot with Covenant activity.[3]
Anton, Grace, Li, and Admiral Whitcomb, were forced to retreat to Camp Independence for three weeks, where they attacked the enemy with many hit-and-run techniques. They also broadcast Oly Oly Oxen Free on the UNSC E-Band, until the signal was picked up by Cortana and John aboard the captured Ascendant Justice.[4] Shortly thereafter, John took a team in a Spirit and rescued them. [5]
The group, then followed the Covenant, to the subterranean remains of CASTLE Base.[6] Admiral Whitcomb ordered Li to stay behind on the dropship and protect Petty Officer Second Class Polaski, while the rest of the group saved Frederic-104's team and Dr. Catherine Halsey.[7] All of them returned to the Ascendant Justice/Gettysburg and initiated a Slipspace jump.
Li-008 was a SPARTAN-II Supersoldier and was the E.V.A. specialist. He was one of the best snipers of the of the second Spartan program and was also efficient in space.
Death
With the Forerunner Crystal artifact the Slipspace was altered, creating an anomalous Slipspace bubble in which the Ascendant Justice became trapped[8]. Surviving Elite crew members of the ship sabotaged the main power conduit of the ship, forcing Li, John, Frederic, Anton, Grace and William-043 to go out onto the surface of the ship and repair the conduit.[9]
They succeeded in fixing the conduit, but a renegade plasma bolt struck the ship, destroying the drop ship during the repair. Afterward, Li, Anton, and Polaski were missing.[10] It is highly unlikely that he is alive.
