Biography

While his team was searching for SPARTAN John-117, he alerted SGT Johnson to the fact that was Covenant Loyalist activity nearby. However, doing so gave away his position and he and his squad immediately came under attack by a Type-52 "Phantom" Troop Carrier and all of Bravo, save for him, were killed.

A Brute Captain soon confronted Reynolds atop a log bridge and began to interrogate him on the location of the "Ark" but Reynolds refused to divulge any information on the whereabouts of the "Ark". Just then, John-117's squad intervened and saved Reynolds from certain death.

Reynolds then jumped off the bridge, grabbed an MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle from one of his fallen Marines, and informed the Spartan of his situation before joining him in his mission to rendezvous with Johnson at a nearby UNSC Outpost.

Battle of Voi

During the Second Battle of Earth in Kenya, Reynolds aided SPARTAN John-117 in his attempts to eliminate Covenant Loyalist forces. In the Crow's Nest, himself, with the aid of SPARTAN John-117 and Marine Infantryman defended and repelled numerous waves of Loyalist infantry. They were later successful, though the underground base was later destroyed.

After the Battle of the Crow's Nest, Reynolds with the help of GySgt Pete Stacker rallied up some Marines, and found SPARTAN John-117 in an elevator, that he escaped the Crow's Nest in. They took the Warthogs from the bases motorpool and engaged Loyalist infantry and armored forces in and around the Tsavo Highway connecting Voi, Mombasa, and Arusha.

Later, his platoon pushed forward and made an assault on Traxus Factory Complex 09 in South Voi. There, they eliminated Loyalist armor and anti-air batteries, paving the way for an element of Fleet Admiral Hood's Home Fleet to engage Loyalist warships above the Cartographer Building. He also aided in cleansing the area during the Flood infection.

After cleansing the surrounding area, UNSC forces regrouped up on the Separatist Carrier, Shadow of Intent. There Fleet Admiral Hood and Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum talked about an assault on Loyalist forces through the Portal.

Battle of Installation 00

During the Battle of Installation 00, himself, GySgt Stacker and SgtMaj Johnson organized a makeshift UNSC Marine armored unit from the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn for an assault on the Ark complex. Him and his platoon of M808 Scorpion MBTs fought and destroyed a battalion-sized Loyalist armored force outside of the complex, and later eliminated a lurking Type-47 UHAP "Scarab".

Later in the battle, he was part of an assault to destroy infantry and armored forces on the outskirts and beachhead of the Citadel, which the Prophet of Truth was located in. Reynolds helped in taking out the first shield control structure with SPARTAN John-117.

Current Status

It is unknown what his current status is, though he is presumed to either be Killed In Action or Missing In Action. It is possible that he could have also been assimilated into a Flood Combat Form, or escaped back to Earth aboard the Shadow of Intent along with GySgt Stacker and the rest of the Forward Unto Dawn's surviving crew.
