Paul DeMarco is a fourth generation Spartan who serves as team leader of Fireteam Majestic on the UNSC Infinity during the Requiem campaign.

Biography

Sometime after the incident in New Phoenix, DeMarco along with the rest of Fireteam Majestic were reassigned to the UNSC Infinity. Immediately after arriving on the ship, he attempted to flirt with Sarah Palmer before realizing she was their senior-ranking officer.

Shortly after being deployed to Requiem, Fireteams Crimson and Majestic were sent north of the UNSC's area of operations in Requiem in order to shut down Forerunner power generators. When Commander Palmer turned the objective into a competition, Demarco asked about the reward; Palmer responded sarcastically, saying "the respect of his peers". Upon insertion, both Crimson and Majestic had their long-range communications jammed by Forerunner jamming devices. After deactivating their respective devices, their mission continued. Majestic temporarily took the lead, but were eventually beaten by Crimson. DeMarco began to complain that Crimson's tower couldn't have had the defenses they did; Palmer responded shortly, informing DeMarco that Crimson faced tougher defenses.

Sometime later, Fireteam Majestic was being engaged by multiple Promethean Crawlers. Madsen started to complain about their ability to "pop up" anywhere, when a Promethean Knight tranlocated into the area. Madsen was shot in the shoulder. Hoya broke cover and blatantly engaged the Knights up-front, which propmted DeMarco to yell for him to get back into cover. Hoya was injured and brought back aboard the Infinity.

Later, DeMarco and Madsen were assigned to guard Catherine Halsey while she was brought aboard the Infinity. On the way to the engine room, DeMarco questioned why they needed to guard an "old lady"; Madsen informed him of Halsey's role in the SPARTAN-II program, calling her a "mad scientist". After the artifact reacted as Halsey typed on the engine room's controls, DeMarco along with Palmer and Madsen brandished their weapons on Halsey, but eventually lowered them as she was a not a pertinent threat.

Sometime during the operation in recovering the "Didact's Gift" from Galileo Base, DeMarco and his team became pinned down by Covenant air support while en route to a Pelican transport. DeMarco attempted to have the team make a run for the Pelican, but was told by Madsen that the risky maneuver might kill them all. As DeMarco tried to think of another plan, Thorne quickly hijacked a low-flying Banshee, much to the dismay of DeMarco. However, Thorne was able to destroy a nearby Phantom and secure the area, allowing the Fireteam to return to the Infinity.

When Thorne later went missing, DeMarco along with the rest of Majestic set out to find him. DeMarco eventually saved Thorne in the nick of time, shooting Gek right before the Elite was able to execute him. As thanks, Thorne gave DeMarco Gek's Energy sword.
