Origins
Travis was born on Feburary 17, 2539 on the Planet Mars. His childhood is unknown but he was abducted by Office of Naval Intelligence agents when he was 7. Travis did not have many friends and often did not see his Father whom was off serving in the UNSC Army. He did in fact have a very connected relationship with his mother, Whom he'd often think about.

Training
Travis began his Spartan III training when he was 7, The first memory he can recall is jumping out of the Pelican and pulling his parachute during his initial training day. Travis learned under a seasoned Drill Instructor from the Marine Corps who'd often push him harder then the rest of the trainees. Many times during training he would lash out and give attitude which often earned him and his team disciplinary actions. During his training, Travis often struggled a bit more then his other trainees trying to appease the standards set before him. During training, Travis met Grant, Marcus, Wren, Austin and Rick, Whom go on to become his lifelong friends and companions. During the ending portion of Phase I, Travis put himself before the rest of his team during an exercise and ultimately almost got him discharged. After, Travis was brought before the overseeing staff LTJG Kurt Ambrose and SCPO Franklin Mendez, PO2 Tom and Lucy were presiding. Travis was told that he could either "Wise the hell up" or "Be discarded". Travis then made the decision to "act his part". His training resumed and with his new found understanding, He completed his Spartan III training and received his Augmentations with the rest of GAMMA company in 2551.

"I remember walking down a long hall with everyone else, Etched into the walls were the numbers of hundreds of Spartans whom gone before us, This.. We would remember for the rest of our lives"
Travis received his augmentations alongside the rest of his brothers and sisters in February 2551. He'd received the normal augmentations given to hundreds of Spartans before him. He wasn't nervous, If anything we was excited. During the augmentation process, All he dreamed about was seeing his mother and father again, Whom he'd almost forgotten about. As the process continued he'd remember seeing 3 huge tubes full of 3 liquid substances, Blue, Yellow and Clear being slowly injected into him and he'd felt his body change and contract. When the process was over, Travis awoke in a bed next to Grant, Marcus and Rick. Travis suspected that they would all be put in a team together.
