S-G059[2] | |
SPARTAN-G059 is a Spartan-III supersoldier of Gamma Company. Following the Human-Covenant War, the Spartan participates in covert high-profile operations for the Office of Naval Intelligence.[2]
Biography
SPARTAN-G059 enlisted with the United Nations Space Command's SPARTAN-III program at a young age, along with other orphans, having been given an opportunity to avenge the family that was lost during the Covenant's war against humanity. Trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose and Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez at Camp Currahee on the planet Onyx, SPARTAN-G059 was assigned to Gamma Company.[3] Following their augmentations in February 2551, SPARTAN-G059 and the rest of Gamma Company remained in training for over a year, until they received deployment orders away from Onyx several weeks after the Fall of Reach in August 2552.[4]
Following the end of the Covenant War, SPARTAN-G059 served the Office of Naval Intelligence, embarking on covert high-profile operations. On January 21, 2558, ONI Section Three deployed SPARTAN-G059 aboard the Winter-class prowler UNSC From the Ashes on an operation to New Llanelli in the Brunel system to assassinate Avu Med 'Telcam, leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth. Arriving at 'Telcam's whereabouts in the remains of a city on the planet, From the Ashes deployed SPARTAN-G059 to the outskirts of the city, where the Spartan snuck past Unggoy guards and eliminated two Kig-Yar scouts. Jumping onto a Phantom dropship as an impromptu means of transportation, the Spartan destroyed a Type-26 Shade and broke through a window leading to 'Telcam's position, where the Sangheili conversed with two subordinates. After quickly eliminating the Sangheili guards, SPARTAN-G059 engaged 'Telcam himself, narrowly avoiding his carbine fire. The Spartan forced the Sangheili to take cover within a bubble shield with a fragmentation grenade, allowing SPARTAN-G059 to rush 'Telcam and knock the rifle from his hands. 'Telcam slammed the Spartan into a wall, cracking the Spartan's helmet, though SPARTAN-G059 recovered and maneuvered around 'Telcam using agility and armor thrusters, eventually knocking the Sangheili to the ground. As 'Telcam picked himself up, SPARTAN-G059 finally executed the Sangheili with a single pistol shot to the head. The Spartan was quickly extracted by From the Ashes, which entered slipspace upon leaving the planet. G059 was then assigned a new operation.[2]
Equipment
SPARTAN-G059 wears green Semi-Powered Infiltration armor outfitted with thrusters. During the mission to assassinate Avu Med 'Telcam, the Spartan wielded two M6 magnums, as well as several M9 fragmentation grenades.[2]
Trivia
SPARTAN-G059 is the protagonist of "Knight takes Bishop", the penultimate story of the comic anthology Halo: Tales from Slipspace. Although the character is not identified as such, the manner of the Spartan's deployment suggests G059 is a LONEWOLF Headhunter.
