Robert Fazio

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Fazio, also known as Spartan 113, served in the UNSC Marine Corps during the Human-Covenant War and the UNSC-Brute War. He was killed during the Battle of Thadus IV.

Service in the UNSC
In 2490, Fazio enlisted into the UNSC and was given the rank of Staff Sergeant. One year later, he was selected to serve in the Spartan I Program. He survived the procedures but was left with multiple scars throughout his body. After the project was shut down, he rejoined the Marines and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant Major. When Dr. Catherine Halsey began the Spartan II Program, he was selected to serve as one of the instructors due to his experience and the fact that he was a Spartan as well. After he was finished training the Spartans, he was promoted to Second Lieutenant and served as a platoon commander during the early years of the Human-Covenant War. In 2543, he was promoted to Captain following a heroic rescue of 21 trapped civilians on Harvest from the Covenant. However, this rescue had cost him him his right arm. He had a new arm flash-cloned and was stationed on Reach as a reward for his heroism. When the Spartan were recalled to Reach for their mission to capture a Prophet, Fazio greeted all of his former students but was saddened that there were so many not there.

Reach
When the Covenant attacked Reach in July of 2552, Fazio helped organize a ground resistance and was able to help evacuate several hundred civilians. Near the end of the battle, he was transferred to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. When the Autumn made the jump away from Reach, Fazio was aboard the ship.

Battle of Earth
After the ordeal on Installation 04, which he survived, Fazio returned to Earth and was stationed aboard the Cairo. When the Covenant attacked Earth, he helped repel the boarders and was sent to Earth to help with the fighting.

Battle of Installation 00
When John 117 returned to Earth after making a slip space jump to Installation 05, Fazio went with the crew of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn. He remained aboard the ship during most of the battle to help coordinate the UNSC forces. After Truth was killed, Fazio returned to Earth with the remainder of the human survivors.

UNSC-Brute War
When the UNSC-Brute war broke out in 2554, Fazio had been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. He served as the commander of all ground forces.

Death
Fazio was killed during the Battle of Thadus IV in 2555 while he was commanding the UNSC forces on the planet.
