Edward Davis^[2] was a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier.

Biography

Davis met Sarah Palmer during the Human-Covenant War. Their partnership developed and both were eventually among the first recruits to join the SPARTAN-IV Program during the program's inaugural class.^[3] Together they helped repel an Insurrectionist boarding attempt on Infinity prior to the Battle of Draetheus V.^[2]

Between March 2553 and July 2557 he and Palmer were stationed on X50, Draetheus V's moon, when Merg Vol's Covenant forces launched an attack on the colony.^[4] Despite the efforts of the UNSC forces, the Covenant managed to surpass them in less than an hour. Nonetheless, Davis decided to stay on X50 to try to stop the Covenant advance, while Palmer traveled to Draetheus V to warn the planet of the impending attack.

When Merg Vol discovered that X50 was actually a Forerunner artifact capable of destroying planets and used it on Draetheus V, the artifact left the planet unstable and on the verge of collapse. Davis, with the help of several Marines and a handful of technicians, was able to disable the device,^[5] but they were soon overcome and Davis was killed by Covenant forces.^[6]

By unknown means, Davis reached X50's core, where he began calling Palmer for help through a Forerunner signal. Although Palmer reached X50's core, Davis died and the moon used his remains to construct an unknown device.^[7]

Equipment

Davis wore the Recruit variant of the MJOLNIR GEN2 armor with a solid gold coloration.
