Duvall and a group of army troopers were ambushed by a Covenant lance in Caracalla Park while attempting to reactivate a pair of missile batteries, which would allow civilian transport 7 Echo 3 to bypass a and escape Reach's devastation. In the midst of the firefight, SPARTAN-B312 "Noble Six" arrived in a UH-144 Falcon and helped the troopers fend off their attackers. Duvall informed Six of the situation and tasked him with rearming the missile batteries and activating them at the central terminal inside the park's east complex. Duvall and his group assisted Six and were successful in capturing the east complex and firing the missiles. Duvall ordered 7 Echo 3 to leave and the Covenant corvette was disabled, allowing the civilian transport to escape the planet.
==Biography==
Duvall is a human male who joined the United Nations Space Command's army and eventually reached the senior NCO rank of Sergeant Major. On August 23, 2552, Duvall was present on the inner colony world of Reach during the Human-Covenant War, when the Covenant Empire invaded the planet. He participated in the Raid on New Alexandria as "Fox Actual" and helped coordinate the evacuation of the city. Over communications, Duvall notified Romeo Company of the threat of Unggoy "suicide squads" and advocated immensely for the fast evacuation of civilian transports, reprimanding the for their inability to provide adequate support.
Whilst positioned in Caracalla Park alongside a contingent of army troopers, Duvall was engaged by a lance of Covenant troops. SPARTAN-B312 "Noble Six" arrived on-scene via a UH-144 Falcon and aided the troopers in their firefight. With the immediate hostile forces defeated, Duvall greeted Six and briefed him on the situation at hand. The Covenant had seized control of the park's air defense systems, made up of two missile batteries and their central terminal, which was making it impossible to provide suitable air support to civilian evacuation craft. Duvall and his men then assisted Six in arming the missile batteries and assaulting the east complex that housed the terminal. Duvall was in near-constant communication with civilian craft 7 Echo 3 during the entire skirmish and, once Six had activated the batteries, gave them the final order to evacuate. The positioned above the park was disabled by the missiles and 7 Echo 3 was finally able to leave the planet.
==Personality and traits==
Duvall is a human male with black hair and brown eyes. A sympathetic individual, Duvall was saddened by the amount of human casualties during the Raid on New Alexandria and was a staunch advocate of speedy civilian evacuation. He harboured anger towards the Covenant corvette above Caracalla Park due to the deaths it caused.
==Equipment==
Duvall wears a modified UNSC Army Battle Dress Uniform that features a non-standard chest armor configuration, resembling a combination of the SPARTAN Program chest pieces Tactical/LRP and Tactical/Recon. During the Raid on New Alexandria, Duvall utilised a M6G Magnum in the skirmish in Caracalla Park.
==Gameplay==
===Halo: Reach===
Duvall appears in Halo: Reach as an ally in the Campaign mission Exodus. He can be heard over the player's communications throughout the mission. After the third rally point, the player is transported to Duvall's position in Caracalla Park via a UH-144 Falcon, where the Sergeant Major will task them with their objectives. He is equipped with a magnum and, unlike the other army troopers in the mission, is invincible. Players are therefore recommended to take Duvall with them, especially on Legendary difficulty. If players decide to take the Warthog or Mongoose, they should allow him to accompany them. It is strongly advised to arm him with heavy weaponry.
