==Spartan-II==
===Daisy-023===
Chief Petty Officer Daisy-023, born Daisy Janaye Warren, was a Spartan-II supersoldier of the United Nations Space Command's Naval Special Warfare Command. Born on the planet Sargasso in the capital city of Sandview on May 4th, 2511, Daisy had an uneventful but privileged upbringing prior to her conscription by ONI into the Spartan-II Program in 2517. Unlike the majority of the conscripted children Daisy resisted the attempts at indoctrination by Doctor Halsey and her staff, though this was expected to fade in time by Doctor Halsey. As a fortunate consequence she found kindred spirits in her assigned teammates, Ralph-103 and Oscar-129, who along with Alec-073, Joseph-122 and Daniela-089 formed a secret group with the intention of escaping and returning to their families.
However, by 2525 the group had yet to attempt their escape. This changed as a result of the death of Alec during the augmentation procedures, which spurred the group into a sudden, spontaneous escape attempt from ONI's Medical Facility Endurance by taking members of Halsey's staff at gunpoint and forcing their way off of the station by taking a pelican from the hanger. Daisy piloted the craft, initially intending to transport herself and her fellow escapees to the nearest orbital transit hub for their escape. However, the intervention of ONI Baselard fighters forced her to crash-land on Reach's surface to escape the non-atmospheric interceptors. Immediately after the crash, Daisy concluded that without distraction to draw their pursuers off of their trail, none of them would escape the planet. Concluding that Joseph, due to the distance and security hurdles, had the least chance of escape, Daisy chose to plant a delay activated tracker on her 'friend' whilst he slept before the group separated the following morning having collected the device from the Pelican's emergency kit prior to abandoning the aircrafts wreck.
With Joseph acting as an unwitting decoy, Daisy and the other three escapees were able to successfully find passage off of the planet by stowing away on an outbound freighter, arriving back on her home world nearly three weeks after her initial escape. However, despite slipping past ONI search teams that were surveilling the planets main spaceport Daisy discovered that the entire effort had been pointless as she found a wheelchair bound duplicate of herself sitting outside of her home. Initially confused, Daisy was joined bunlike the common belief that they were missing children, she had employed the use of flash-clones to replace Daisy and her fellow Spartan-II's after her abduction, meaning that not only had their absence gone unreported, but that 'her' life as Daisy Warren had been taken over by her clone and that the only life left to her was as Daisy-023.
Due to the sudden realisation that the life she had been clinging to for nearly eight years had been over from the start, and angry at Doctor Halsey for robbing her of her freedom, Daisy drew her weapon and advanced towards her clone with the intention of murdering the crippled girl. However, upon closing to point-blank range, Daisy found that she was unable to go through with the act as her clone was just another innocent, one created to live a doomed life to spare her parents the pain of not knowing what had become of their daughter, and so instead lowered her weapon and turned to surrender herself back into Doctor Halsey's 'care'.
However, before she could leave the clone spoke to her directly, explaining that it both felt a connection to Daisy, and admired her for her strength, before returning Daisy's bear keychain that she had 'lost' on the night of her abduction, explaining that it felt like the right thing to do before the pair parted ways. With Daisy returning to Reach under an armed security detail along with the mentally unstable Ralph and the corpses of Oscar and Daniela, who had committed suicide rather than return to the program.
Despite being the ringleader of the escape attempt, Doctor Halsey spared Daisy the stricter punishment that she had handed out to Joseph, overtly due to her willing surrender into ONI custody. Although Daisy suspected that it was to keep Daisy in an agreeable frame of mind as with Ralph's degrading mental health it was clear that she would be the only one other than Joseph who would be returning to the program. To this end Daisy was placed in solitary confinement for two weeks on reduced rations and was told that upon her release she was to explain that she had been in observation during this entire period, and that Oscar and Daniela had succumbed to complications from the augmentation procedures.
Unfortunately, it was during her confinement that the consequences of her earlier decision to sacrifice Joseph as a decoy would rear themselves as Joseph had managed to piece together the truth after gaining access to the facilities medical wing under the cover of a fire he had set as a diversion. Within which he had not only discovered Oscar and Daniela's bodies, but had found and interrogated Ralph, who had revealed the full extent of not only the betrayal, but the existence of the flash-clones. Using this information Joseph was able to broker a deal with Doctor Halsey after being caught by Mendez, offering his silence on the matter of the flash-clones in return for absolving him of any punishment for his recent actions and allowing him to 'speak' with Daisy.

===Nora-098===
Petty Officer Third Class Nora-098, born Nora Ellen Acker, was a Spartan-II supersoldier of the United Nations Space Command's Naval Special Warfare Command. Born on the planet Cygnus on March 25th, 2511, Nora had an uneventful upbringing prior to her conscription by ONI into the Spartan-II Program in 2517, where she became a model, if somewhat over confidant Spartan candidate. Nora was among the 33 candidates who were successfully augmented in 2525.
Nora's service would prove uneventful until 2531, when she was deployed as a part of Copper Team under the callsign of Copper Six until the battle of Harvest in 2531. Nora-098 without the support of her own team, or local UNSC forces, attacked 25 Covenant soldiers at a Methane refinery located near to where the Covenant forces of Arbiter Ripa' Moramee had found a forerunner relic. Despite killing seven Covenant soldiers in quick succession, Nora was quickly killed by the Sangheili Ustaf 'Nbekee with a Needler, who allowed the Unggoy under his command to play games with the Spartan's helmet as a war prize. Nora would be the second Spartan to be killed in action, with her death being blamed on a mixture of bad luck, theoretical equipment failure, and her own overconfidence in her skills.

Petty Officer Third Class Thom-A293, born Thomas Benjamin Haliday, was a Spartan-III Commando of the United Nations Space Command's Naval Special Warfare Command.

===Faith-A299===
Lieutenant Faith-A299, born Faith Hailey Beckett, was a Spartan-III Commando of the United Nations Space Command's Naval Special Warfare Command. Born in Manikata, Bliss in 2524, Faith would live there until the planet was glassed in 2526, which killed her parents and any remaining family that she had. In 2531 At the age of 7, Faith was conscripted into the Spartan III program and was sent to the planet Onyx where she would undergo training as part of Alpha Company.
During training Faith's skills and proficiency in combat, caught the attention of LCDR Kurt Ambrose and SCPO Franklin Mendez, who took note of her skill and would later deem her to be too valuable to waste on the 'high-risk missions' that were intended for the rest of Alpha company and had her reassigned to a small group of exceptional candidates, that would later go on to be dubbed the 'Cat-2's'. At some point during training Faith would be assigned as the team leader of Team Fox, consisting of herself, Quinn-A098, and one other unknown Spartan. It was also during this time that Faith's skills as a medic became apparent, with her earning a reputation for herself, by treating the numerous injuries occurred to the Spartan's during training before the actual medics could arrive on the scene.
As the leader of one of Alpha Company's Commando teams, collectively dubbed Commando Group Alpha Faith would participate in a number of high profile operations alongside the main company before their separation to assist in the Battle of Vision in 2537 during which she would participate in a raid on a Covenant dig site and would later be assigned to the following Operation: MORBID OMEN to the uncolonized planet of NX-583 to prevent the capture a series of ruins that recovered on Vision indicated that the Covenant was about to seize. 
Upon arriving at NX-583 Faith and her team would engage in disruptive attacks against the ground contingent of the Flotilla of Supplication, destroying Covenant instillations and eliminating any survey teams that were dispatched to the ruins before retreating deep into the complex to deny the enemy the ability to utilise the overwhelming firepower of their orbiting warships. However, despite the arrival of the UNSC's Battlegroup Churchill and the defeat of the Covenant's naval assets, the flotilla's commander Riko 'Kasamee was able to crash land his flagship the ORS-class heavy cruiser Pilgrim's Solace within the Covenant's defensive perimeter and the subsequent deployment of a domed energy shield had rendered any further attempts to prevent the capture of the ruins futile due to imminent arrival of enemy reinforcements the UNSC authorised the Spartan's to destroy the complex by any means necessary and then to evacuate the planet.
Due to the Spartan's lacking the needed ordinance it was decided to improvise with Faith and Fox team providing cover for Grizzly Team as they boarded the grounded Covenant warship to overload its reactor with the resulting blast being contained by the shield dome to vaporise the entire complex and the entire enemy force. Despite this Faith and her team were forced to enter the ship to recover Ayrton who had been badly wounded in a duel with 'Kasamee with Faith having to effectively carry the bleeding Spartan to the evac Pelican where she was able to prevent her commander from bleeding to death from a stab wound to the chest.

===Pierce-A492===
Spartan Pierce-A492 was a Spartan-III candidate from Alpha company who was drowned in an accident during Alpha Company's training program in 2534. Whilst participating an underwater exercise on Camp Curahee's Amphibious Assault Course Randall, Pierce's air tank became lodged in the coral reef at the deepest deepest part of the course and was unable to free himself or signal his plight before his air supply ran out.
Pierce's body was later discovered by fellow Alpha company candidate Ayrton-A384 after he and multiple other candidates had realised his absence and after seeing the lack of concern in the assigned DI's, had pooled their remaining air to send a handful of volunteers back along the course to check for him. Despite the efforts of Ayrton and the other trainee's to resuscitate Pierce after he was brought to the surface by Ayrton, Pierce could not be saved, with an autopsy later determining that he had run out of air before his absence had been noted by the other trainee's.
For their efforts Ayrton and the other candidates were praised for their efforts in attempting to save their comrades life, whilst the two DI's that were in charge of the course during the exercise were charged and subsequently convicted of neglect and were permanently removed from the program by ONI to serve sentences for their actions.
Pierce's death would have far a reaching impact on all training conducted on course Randall, with the installation of significantly greater monitoring equipment being fitted to the course so as to better track candidates in order to prevent any further accidents like this from occurring, along with all subsequent trips being made in enforced dive groups to ensure that any diver who encountered difficulty would not be without any assistance.
However, Pierce's legacy would not be limited to safety reforms as he would become the source of multiple ghost stories among the candidates of Beta and Gamma companies, of a drowned Alpha who would try to drag down unwary candidates to join him in his watery grave. A matter which surviving Alpha's would later express their disapproval of.

===Kaitlyn-B237===
Kaitlyn-B237 (Born Kaitlyn Madson) was born on February 14, 2531, on the colony world of New Constantinople in the Zeta-Byzantium system. Not much of her childhood is known prior to New Constantinople being attacked in early 2537, where she would be orphaned. Following the Battle of New Constantinople, Kaitlyn was evacuated to Cygnus, where she, along with other children, were placed into the care of the planet's system of orphanages. It was during this time that Kaitlyn became known as a bully amongst the other children, attacking others who had displeased her.
In late 2537, Kaitlyn joined the Spartan-III program as a part of Beta company, where she would excel due to her aggression and understanding of tactics. At first, Kaitlyn would mistreat her fellow trainees, much in the same way that she had treated her fellow orphans on Cygnus. However, upon learning that the preceding Alpha Company, had been present during the Battle of New Constantinople, her ire shifted to Alpha Company. Reasoning that they were to blame for the deaths of her family, coming to viewing them as inferior soldiers. A point which would be reinforced after she later learned of how Alpha Company had broken cohesion during Operation: PROMETHEUS resulting in the entire force being annihilated to a man.
By 2544, Kaitlyn graduated from the program as the leader of Team Gustav and of Commando Group Beta, seeing initial combat during the Siege of the Atlas moons later that year. In 2546, Kaitlyn would come into contact with Alpha company's Commando Group Alpha. Encountering her rival Ayrton-A384, the XO of the group, who began to undermine Kaitlyn's hold of fear over the Beta's. Kaitlyn tried to minimize contact with her Alpha contemporary's, whilst attempting to have Ayrton disciplined by his superior, Carter-A259. This was due to the level of respect between the two, the latter regarding the formers social skills to be an asset, despite them being sometimes grating. However, the damage was done, as Chrissie-B278, a Spartan who had always disagreed with Kaitlyn's opinion, due to owing her life not just to Alpha company, but Ayrton and his Grizzly team specifically. This began to erode Kaitlyn's ability to bully her subordinates into line, arguing with her on the subject of the Alpha's, willingly taking verbal harassment in return.
In 2547, Kaitlyn was sent to the planet of Saint-Denis, one of the worst battles of the war up to that point, resulting in the deaths of six Beta Spartans and six Alphas. Kaitlyn and the remains of Commando Group Beta was merged with the depleted Commando Group Alpha forming Special Warfare Group Three (SpecWarfare Group 3). Resulting in her promotion to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander, taking the position of XO field commander, in addition to taking command of one of the cross-company teams, designated Wyvern Team. This move pleased her as it made her superior to Ayrton in addition to Chrissie, whose new teams she endeavoured to have filled by Beta's whom she considered 'trouble'. This included her former teammate, Gwen-B161, who had stood up to her during Saint-Denis. Kaitlyn now used her new power to have them assigned the more difficult tasks, leaving them isolated from the rest of the unit and at a higher chance of injury. After the merger Kaitlyn's distaste of Alpha's subsided, being forced to admit their combat skill and prowess. Instead focusing her disdain on Ayrton, primarily due to his personality, in addition to his actions that had obliterated her control over the Beta's.
Prior to 2552, Kaitlyn engineered events to have Kat-B320 promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander ostensibly in the event of Carter's death leaving Noble Team without a leader. However, her ulterior motive was to ensure that Ayrton was kept out of a position of command, a prospect that she was determined to prevent. This nearly came to nought in the aftermath of the Battle of Fumirole, which had resulted in the death of Thom-A293 and the loss of Kat's right arm, with Carter and the rest of Noble being pulled from action for the next few months. Due to the casualties at Fumirole, Kaitlyn temporarily took over command of the unit, with Ayrton acting as XO, though the pair were kept apart. The latter with liaising with ONI Agent Codename: MANNARO, whilst the former dealt with the issues that had arisen following the battle.
During the Battle of Reach, Kaitlyn and her Wyvern Team initially focused on offensive actions against the initial Covenant invasion until after Operation: UPPERCUT, which resulted in her team being retasked to defensive operations, primarily covering civilian evacuations. By August 30, Kaitlyn and her Team having been working joint operations with Faith-A299's Gauntlet Team and Victoria-B346's Echo Team, and having picked up the lone Noble Six, were retreating to rally point Omega. Planning to await an evacuation along with remaining UNSC forces in the area, however, during the retreat, the group was forced to cross a bridge under Covenant fire. Wyvern Team and Noble Six crossed first to set demolition charges, with Gauntlet and Echo following piecemeal, until only Faith and Echo Four, Quinn-A098 remained on the far side. At this point, a stray plasma shot caused the charges to detonate early, cutting off the pairs retreat, and unwilling to risk further casualties, Kaitlyn withdrew the remaining Spartan's, leaving the pair to what was assumed to be certain death.
Arriving at Rally Point Omega, the Spartan's and surviving UNSC forces were assaulted by hordes of Covenant, killing the UNSC forces early on, before whittling down the Spartan's. Kaitlyn, concerned at their position, attempted to summon aid, finding only Ayrton's Brimstone Team, which had been sent to recover the remaining Spartans for evacuation, though was too far away to assist in time. Alone, Kaitlyn, begged for Ayrton's help, for the first time using his name. Before he could respond, Kaitlyn was impaled by an energy sword, eviscerating her internal organs. Kaitlyn died where she lay, with only the voice of Ayrton, begging her to respond.}}
