Austin is a Spartan III supersoldier in the UNSC special forces. He operates under the callsigns "Umbra" and "Ghost 3".

Personality
Austin is a thick-headed warrior of German descent. He, like Tyler, has a somewhat weak emotional threshold, although is much better at hiding it. On the field, he is usually vibrant and eccentric, but whenever he isn't in battle, he is very quiet and solitary. As a hobby, he likes to draw in a notebook he keeps in his desk whenever he is home in his bunk. Almost in sync with his solitary nature, Austin is built more powerfully than his fellow SPARTAN-III's, and stands at 6'7", which only serves to increase his threatening and intimidating appearance. One trait that has proved him right in many circumstances is his hesitation. While this may seem like a hindrance, in reality, it keeps him from wasting his--and possibly others'--lives during a firefight. This helps him keep a cool head and think things through before blindly rushing into battle, as other hot-headed III's may be prone to.

Skillset
Austin is a close-quarters-combat specialist, and also a tinkerer. His preferred weapon is an assault rifle, like Tyler. He is also very skilled in the use of dual submachine guns, and heavier automatic weapons whether they be stationary or portable.

Behind the Scenes
-'Umbra' means 'shadow' or 'ghost' in Latin.
