SPARTAN-074, or Aurum is a UNSC SPARTAN-II Commando
== Early Years==
Aurum was born on Reach, the son of a defense contractor and a doctor. He was pampered by his parents, and therefore was treated well at home. At the age of 7, he was inducted into the SPARTAN-II Program.
== Boot Camp ==
Aurum was then taken to the SPARTAN training facility on Reach for training.While there, he met Thomas, a fellow SPARTAN that seemed to run his mouth a lot. Aurum would also become very good with energy swords, which would turn into an obsession of sorts for him, which early on scared his team members. However, Aurum was known as an excellent team player and leader.
==Human-Covenant War==
===The Siege of Locke Colony,2---===
In 2551, Aurum and the SPARTAN's of Gold Team, working under the authority of the Office of Naval Intelligence, were sent to assist the UNSC forces defending the colony of Locke. Dropping in with a company of ODST's, Aurum and Gold Team quickly encountered heavy Covenant resistance. Linking up with a platoon of marines from the 5th Marine Division led by Second Lieutenant David Ambrose Junior, the SPARTAN's and ODST's assisted in harassing Covenant forces, allowing the marines to retake lost ground.
