Spartan B-313 aka Noble 7 was a SPARTAN-III Commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command and a member of Noble Team, alongside Carter, Kat, Jun, Emile, Jorge, and Noble 6. He is the deuteragonist of the game, Halo: Reach.

## Biography

### Early Career

SPARTAN-B313 was taken out of Beta Company immediately after training alongside SPARTAN B-312 aka Noble 6, according to a communique from Kurt Ambrose to Franklin Mendez that was sent in May 2545, two months before Operation: TORPEDO.

### Later Career

Over the course of B313's career, Noble 7 and 6 gained a high reputation as an efficient duo, having broken organizations and made entire militia groups disappear.

At one point, the two's superior allegedly used the duo as "his own private grim reapers," and because of this, he was reluctant to have the two assigned to Noble Team. On July 24, 2552, SPARTAN's B313 and B312 were assigned to Noble Team as Noble 7 and 6. Having recently arrived at Reach, joined the team just in time to participate in an operation to investigate a communications blackout at Visegrad Relay, a mission which led to the first confrontation with Covenant forces on Reach.

### Fall of Reach

During the final weeks before Reach's eventual glassing, Noble Seven partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on Reach along with Six and the rest of Noble Team, including a counter-offensive operation to retake an ONI Base, a nighttime reconnaissance mission with Jun-A266, and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and the neutralization of a Covenant tower.

On August 14, Nobel Team helped UNSC ground forces repel Covenant invaders from a UNSC base, which housed a Sabre launch facility. Seven, Six, and Jorge were launched into orbit to assist the Epsilon Eridani Defense Fleet in a space battle against the Covenant fleet, in a UNSC counter-offensive codenamed Operation: UPPER CUT. During the course of the operation, the makeshift slipspace bomb was damaged and unable to activate automatically. Jorge, volunteering to activated the bomb manually and as such sacrificing his life, forced Seven and Six off the SDV-class heavy corvette Ardent Prayer. UPPERUT was successful, with the Covenant fleet eliminated but at the cost of Jorge-052. However, a far larger Covenant fleet arrived mere moments after the successful operation.

Seven and Six, after being thrown from the ship by Jorge-052, found themselves disconnected from each other near New Alexandria. After they met up, they assisted UNSC infantrymen in repelling the invading Covenant forces and evacuating the civilian population. The Spartans, along with 7 Delta 19, 4 Charlie 27, and other UNSC Army teams, managed to establish radio communication with Noble Team and participated in the removal of Covenant communication jammers to allow the evacuation of ONI personnel. Seven and Six finally reunited with Noble Team and reported the details of UPPERCUT. Not too long after, Noble Team was hailed by its commanding officer, Colonel Urban Holland, and was ordered to destroy Sword Base in a torch-and-burn op. The Team was forced to enter a radiation bunker to shield themselves from the Covenant's glassing of New Alexandria.

Noble Seven and Six, along with the remaining members of Noble Team, proceeded to Sword Base and fought their way into the facility under heavy fire, only to have their course, and directives revised by an unknown UNSC AI. Within the facility, they encountered Dr. Halsey once more, and were informed that Seven and Six were chosen to courier the package, and to deliver it safely to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Using Pelicans as their mode of transportation, Noble Team was spit into two: Jun-A266 escorted Dr. Halsey to CASTLE Base, while the others headed for the Autumn which, having undergone a refit in the shipyards of Aszod, was holding position ready to escape with the precious cargo now in their possession.

However, while in transit, they were ambushed by Banshees, damaging their Pelican and critically injuring Carter-A259. As a result, Seven, Six, and Emile-A239 were forced to proceed on foot, with Carter drawing fire to aid them. But, after encountering massive resistance from Covenant forces, they were eventually cornered by a Scarab, and only saved as Carter flew the now devastated Pelican directly into it, destroying the Scarab and Sacrificing himself to save them: securing delivery of the package to the commander of the Autumn, Captain Jacob Keyes.

Later on, the Covenant assaulted the area and Emile was stabbed in the back with an energy sword to which he died to soon after, but not before killing the Elites who attacked him. After seeing Emile slain by a Sangheili Zealot, Seven and Six refused to go with Keyes and the other UNSC forces to stay at the Pillar and man the Onager where they stalled Covenant gunships from overwhelming the Autumn, as well as avenging Emile. During the most crucial phase of the evacuation, the Spartans destroyed an approaching CCS-class battlecruiser, allowing the Autumn to depart into Space

### Death

At Last, the Covenant had disabled the last of Reach's defenses, and proceeded to glass the remainder of the planet. Seven and Six were among the last surviving UNSC soldiers left fighting the Covenant forces on the ground. In an incredible display of heroism, Seven and Six held off an entire army of the Covenant. However the Covenant were relentless, and after countless hours of battle, an exhausted Seven and Six were eventually injured by plasma fire. After triumphantly taking on multiple Ultra and Zealot-class Sangheili in hand-to-hand combat, the Spartans were finally overwhelmed, disarmed and forced to the ground. Here, though mortally wounded, Seven and Six subdued a few more attacker, succumbing to death among a pile of slain enemies. At the hands of Energy daggers wielded by Sangheili Zealots. Seven and Six's helmets remained on Reach, even after the glassing of Reach.

## Personality

Noble 7 is very loud in battle, choosing more damaging weapons, such as the M319 Grenade Launcher and the M45 Tactical Shotgun. He was more reluctant to be a team player with Noble Team, with the only three people he trusted being Kat, Jorge, and Six. He was also very teasing towards other soldiers, even jokingly remarking that he was actually apart of the Covenant during a fight, and "accidentally" killing friendly soldiers. Seven and Carter had a somewhat strained relationship. Carter wasn't a huge fan of the risks Seven would take, putting him and his team in danger. However Carter did relent, knowing that without Seven, Noble Team wouldn't be able to hit the Covenant as hard. Seven had a weird infatuation with Kat, which while she thought was flattering, didn't lead to much. Seven and Jun had a strong rivalry, as Jun almost accidentally shot Seven in the head when they returned to ONI Sword Base. Seven and Emile had a friendly rivalry as they constantly tried to out do the other. Seven and Jorge had a great relationship surprisingly. Despite Jorge not liking the risks, he understood that Seven was a great soldier and when times got rough, would always have his back. Noble Seven and Six share a deep relationship as both were born around the same time, and had a brother sister relationship. However their differences in fighting styles led to them butting heads, but they always were great together.
