Musa Ghanem
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "As of today Spartans stand on their own. Not as Navy or ONI assets. We are our own branch. As of now."
- — Commander Musa, to a council of high ranked officers at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6.
Commander Musa, formerly SPARTAN-096, is a commander of the Spartan branch, former SPARTAN-II candidate and one of the creators of the SPARTAN-IV program.[1]
Biography
Musa was abducted in 2517 along with the other SPARTAN-IIs. As a result of his body rejecting some of the augmentations, Musa was forced into a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He held a grudge toward Dr. Catherine Halsey and the Office of Naval Intelligence not only for his own predicament, but also for the other candidates who were either maimed or killed by the augmentations. Even though he viewed the SPARTAN-II program as morally repugnant, Musa also recognized the importance of their accomplishments during the Human-Covenant War. He believed that Spartans were still necessary in the aftermath of the war and as a result, he proposed that more Spartans be created, in the form of the SPARTAN-IV program. In January 2553, he brought together several admirals at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 to discuss the development and necessity of the new Spartan program as an independent branch within the UNSC.[1]
Trivia
As a commander, Musa is the second-highest-ranking member of the SPARTAN-II program, (active or otherwise). He is outranked only by Admiral Serin Osman.
