==Biography==
===Early Life===
Michaels was born on the human colony world of Alluvion in 2524. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2542.
===Battle of Alluvion===
In early 2543, when he heard that the Covenant had invaded Alluvion, he stole a Warthog from his superior officers and made his way to his house, hoping to rescue his family. After successfully reuniting with his family, he escorted them to an evacuation site. 
When they reached a transport ship, they found out that it was transporting UNSC soldiers and members of the Colonial Guard, and that it had no room for civilians. As he was a military asset, Michaels was forced to leave his family behind while they waited for another ship. 
However, the ship never arrived, and Michaels' family was killed when the Fleet of Particular Justice glassed Alluvion.
===Battle of New Jerusalem===
Roughly four years after the loss of Alluvion, Michaels joined the elite 105th, the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. One of his first missions as an ODST was the First Battle of New Jerusalem, in 2551.
He and his team were sent to New Jerusalem to investigate Kig-Yar Pirate activity near the city of Tzab Shveh. However, a few minutes after they reached the city, a Covenant fleet arrived at the planet. During the initial attack, Michaels' team was ambushed and killed by Spec Ops Elites. Luckily, he was able to escape and link up with Task Force Bravo. After this incident, he began showing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Later in the battle, the Covenant managed to activate the Armoury, an artifact that stored many Forerunner weapons. While the Armoury was rising out of the ground, a Covenant corvette, commanded by the SPARTAN-I, DAB-101, exited Slipspace above the city. DAB then helped Michaels and Bravo evacuate New Jerusalem. They also loaded the Armoury's artifacts onto the Spartan's second ship, the Requisition of Prosperity.
