Biography
In 2552, he evaluated the members of Noble Team and apparently served as Special Warfare Group Three commanding officer and had operational control of the SPARTAN unit.[1]
Fall of Reach
He was stationed on Reach during its fall and ordered Noble Team to investigate the comm blackout at the Visegrad Relay.[2] Noble One, would soon report to him that the Visegrad Relay was taken out by a Covenant advance team. He would soon order them to defend Sword Base from Covenant attack, and later take out scattered Covenant anti-air turrets to clear the way for the UNSC Grafton.
After the Grafton was destroyed by a Covenant supercarrier, he approved the plan for Noble Six to pilot a YSS-1000 Sabre along with Jorge-052 to assist in Operation: UPPERCUT and destroy the Supercarrier. During the space battle he had the UNSC Savannah assist Nobles Five and Six by keeping the corvette they were attempting to board busy. After Jorge and Six boarded the Corvette he ordered the Savannah away, when it reported it was under heavy fire, however it was too late and the Frigate was destroyed.
Later, Holland contacted Noble Team, now in New Alexandria, on an open channel. He ordered them to destroy Sword Base, which was now under Covenant control.
