Sergeant Percival Macintosh was an enlisted combat personnel in the UNSC Army who served during the last two years of the Human-Covenant War. Born to a family in poverty, his family had many problems. He excelled at school but faced the risk of being separated from his parents. The night he turned thirteen, he enlisted to help support his family. He served in protecting his hometown during the Battle of Earth along with the 2nd Regiment, 9th Armored Brigade. After the Arbiter returned from the Ark and the war was pronounced over, Macintosh rejoiced with his family and volunteered to extend his enlistment term and help hunt down the remaining Covenant Loyalist remnants and was transfered over to the 70th Marine Expeditionary Unit, a unit assigned just to do so in a joint operation with Sangheili forces, as an honorable Army trooper along with thousands of other Army soldiers. He hunted the Covenant, serving with the 37th Battalion, nicknamed, the "Sand Tigers", in numerous systems and finally came back to Earth after three years and hundreds of skirmishes because the 70th took heavy casualties and their ships were damaged so they came to pick up reinforcements, refuel, and resupply. It was then, Macintosh took his first leave in the four years of fighting and spent out the rest of his military term on guard duty at an airbase near his hometown.

After his term was over, Macintosh took most of his money he collected and invested it in Armadillo Standard Weaponry because he saw its equipment's popularity, efficiency, and frequency among the infantry gear. However, two months later, the Armadillo's EP22 combat rifle, a standard among the 70th, was made obsolete by the MA67, a new assault rifle developed by Misriah Armory. Armadillo stocks plummeted Fearing that the Misriah would once again take its former place as one of the UNSC's top military equipment supplier, Macintosh immediately tried to sell Armadillo stocks to whoever would accept. After everything was sold, he only received twenty two percent of what he started with. Macintosh once again was forced into the poor part of society. A year later, Armadillo then outshone Misriah and their stocks went back up. At this point, Macintosh felt depressed and suicidal.

Two years later, Macintosh saw UNSC recruiting agents attempting to persuade college students to join ONI. Seeing the opportunity, he rejoined the UNSC to attempt to regain his money. After he went through training for a second time and regaining his rank of sergeant, he went attempted to apply for a desk job at ONI Section I Logistics. He was shunned because of a background record mistake and he rejoined the 81st Regiment.
