Feet first into hell and back again.


Born in Crisium City, Naniwa, Luna on February 9, 2525. Enlisted on July 7, 2547.

By September 2552, Rookie, then a Private First Class, was stationed aboard UNSC Chares with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force, part of a Rapid Offensive Picket. He was sent down with reinforcements that had been requested by Gage Yevgenny, a veteran ODST that had gone against orders to save a crowd of civilian children. Gage's Pelican had been shot down by rogue ODSTs near the mountains outside the city of Mount Haven, and was found mortally wounded by Rookie, who had just arrived with Gage's reinforcements.

Gage, who knew he was dying, told Rookie his life story, right up until he crashed the Pelican. Rookie, who had listened intently, promised to remember Gage and do whatever he could against the Covenant. Gage then told Him that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs were on their way to the crash site, and warned Rookie to get as far away as possible, as Gage was going to detonate a Shiva Missile he had stolen, killing them all.

Rookie ditched most of his gear and ran for his life until he reached the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonated the nuke, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. Rookie, being the only survivor, hailed a Pelican and was informed that Reach had been glassed, and that the survivors were retreating to Earth. They escaped as the planet was glassed, but he would not forget Gage Yevgenny, and his long and tragic life. After this, he was promoted to Lance Corporal and transferred to Alpha-Nine, led by GySgt Edward Buck.

Place my MA5 down by my feet.

Battle of Earth
During the Battle of Earth on October 20, 2552, Rookie and his squad, along with a larger ODST unit, were stationed aboard UNSC Say My Name as part of a mission to attack the Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier above the city of New Mombasa. At the last moment before the drop, ONI operative Veronica Dare took control of the squad, with the intent to use them in a yet-undisclosed mission. Rookie himself, however, was largely unaware of this as he was asleep at the time. He was awakened by Romeo who hit him with his sniper rifle.

As the squad dropped towards the ground, Dare changed the squad's course towards the ONI Alpha Site in New Mombasa. Unfortunately, moments before they were meant to hit the ground, Regret's Carrier jumped into Slipspace, generating a massive shockwave and an EMP that scattered the squad's drop pods all around the city. Rookie's pod was slammed into by Mickey's pod, cracking the window of his pod and sending it into free-fall.

New Mombasa's urban infrastructure AI, the Superintendent, observed Rookie's pod slamming through one building and crashing within another, performed regulation actions for a civilian vehicle accident, and estimated that the crash landing had a 99.99% chance of fatality for the pod's occupant. Despite this, Rookie had survived, although he was knocked unconscious.

Six hours later, he woke up in his pod, which had been lodged into a building in the occupied city center of New Mombasa. The Superintendent had been monitoring him and waiting for him to wake up. As Rookie dropped to the streets below and started to move on, the Superintendent provided him with valuable help, activating signs to guide him to safety and uploading a map of the city to his VISR database. As he explored the city, he tried to piece together clues to find out what happened to his squadmates while avoiding the numerous Covenant patrols in the city.

After deducing the events of the previous six hours, Rookie picked up a message from Dare, requesting assistance in the New Mombasa Data Center. Upon reaching the Underground, Rookie learned she was on Sublevel 09. After reaching a Data Stack, he ran into a NMPD Officer attempting to check on his men; however, the Superintendent wouldn't let the officer onto the next level until Rookie arrived at his location. The two fought their way through Covenant forces and reached the Data Stack to the next level, though the officer was killed by Rookie in self-defense after finding and listening to Audio Logs.

After fighting through more Covenant, Rookie finally arrived at Dare's location, where she told him of her mission: to retrieve the data the Superintendent recorded during the Prophet of Regret's attack on the city. Dare and Rookie were forced to fight their way through an entire Drone hive, as well as other assorted Covenant. They found a Huragok holding the Superintendent's data. After some hesitation, Dare then assisted Rookie with protecting Vergil, having whistled to befriend Vergil from the audio logs.

Rookie then reunited with Buck and proceeded to assist Dare and Vergil in their escape from the Data Center. After fighting past a Covenant outpost and up another elevator, the four arrived at the Coastal Highway. Here, Rookie and Buck used various Warthogs and a Scorpion to protect an Elephant containing Dare and Vergil. While driving down the highway, they witnessed the Covenant Loyalist fleet arriving in force, and starting to glass the city. After encountering a Scarab, Buck decided to find a new location and hold position until Mickey and the rest of the ODST squad arrived with a stolen Phantom. Once he did, the squad evacuated the city and watched as the Covenant glassed New Mombasa.

A month later, Rookie was seen with his squad, sleeping while everyone else watched Sgt. Johnson's interrogation of Vergil.

Just pack my box with PT gear.

Draco 3
In 2554, Rookie was sent to Draco III along with the rest of Alpha Nine to quell Insurrectionist activity that had flared up in the area since the Human Covenant war had ended. The team had been able to reach the colony's capital building, where the rebels had barracaded themselves, but were lured into the legislative room and trapped in a killzone.

Sergeant Buck sent Rookie towards the only way out of the room, an emergency exit, while the rest of Alpha Nine covered him, but Rookie was unable to fight his way past the Insurrectionist forces to rescue his companions, instead being brought into a presidential address booth, which had one way shielding to protect it's inhabitants, as a hostage.

After a brief but tense discussion between Sergeant Buck and the leader of the Insurrectionists, Captain Ingridson, during which Rookie was shot in the knee, parts of Alpha Nine were able to flank around the presidential address booth. However as they breached the booth Ingridson realized her attempt at escape had failed, and shot Rookie as a final act of revenge, severely injuring him.

Spartan Jun, while attempting to recruit Edward Buck to the SPARTAN-IV program, told Buck that the Rookie would have had a spot in the SPARTAN-IV were if not for his injury, but joined at a later dates once healed.


‘Cuz one early morning ‘bout zero- five
The ground will rumble, there’ll be lightning in the sky

Don’t you worry, don’t come undone
It’s just my ghost on a PT run.
