Ajax-013

Code: 013

Name: Ajax

Rank: Petty officer first class

Skills: Wide ranging, specialising in engineering, computers, technically minded activities, explosives, tech specialist.

Features: Short black hair, non military cut, hazel eyes, numerous scars, not exceptionally tall amongst the SPARTANS, muscular.

Mental report: Least mentally stable of the SPARTANS, sociopathic, mostly due to isolation by the others and a sort of self exile. Claims to suffer from extremely bad luck. Freak accidents will happen around with such as engines breaking down, guns jamming, explosives going off prematurely. Most soldiers under his command or attached to him are killed or wounded. As a result shuns human contact. Capable leader but chooses not to take command. Very efficient at field repair and seems to flourishes under pressure. Capable with using and adapting covenant technology. Recent reports however seem to show a resentment to other SPARTANS, specifically 117, blaming him for the casualties of red team and abandoning them on Reach. When others have been killed, supposedly by his ‘bad luck’ he has survived when he shouldn’t of. He also has incredible math, science and problem solving skills, being one of the more intelligent SPARTANS, due mostly to his time he spends reading.

Preferred weapons: Usually picks a mix of weapons, such as SMG and battle rifle or shotgun and battle rifle, enjoys using captured plasma swords.

Strengths: Close combat, engineering duties, computer use, use of covenant tech, skilled driver, stealth duties, exceptional survivability.

Weaknesses: Team play, reactions to others, extreme ranged combat, bad luck.

History: Picked for the SPARTAN II program at the age of six from Earth. Even then his bad luck was well known when his parent’s car crashed and while they and his older brother who was sat next to him where killed outright, he survived with a few scratches. This eliminated the suspicions of abduction to some degree as a flash clone was left in his hospital bed. During training he often suffered from his bad luck. He led black team in training and often lost, not due to their own failings but freak accidents but won on rare occasions due to rare freak accidents suffered by the enemy. However during augmentation one member, Joe 129 died and that only left him and his partner Elise 070 though the third member, Mike 028 joined they soon became a cohesive fighting force. He seemed to constantly pitch his team in with blue team whenever possible, hoping 117’s luck would cancel out his bad luck. He seemed to be free of his bad luck, many of his squad not suffering casualties until the fall of reach. He and black team was compounded with red team to defend the fusion generators. Though they survived the drop they then began to suffer. Along with a marine platoon they defended one of the generators, fighting until death. The platoon began to take casualties but they fought on until the glassing began. Ajax, along with the lieutenant in charge of the platoon deemed the situation intangible and called a retreat into maintenance tunnels beneath the area but at that moment the fusion generators defences where breached. With their escape route cut off by covenant forces advancing into the facility they had to fight their way out but it came too late. The facility was struck. Luck was on Ajax’s side but not the units. The facility had been more or less decimated, the majority of the covenant forces vaporised along with his own unit, only a few of them making it into the tunnel on time. When he came too more covenant forces had already landed to finish off the ‘demons’ there. He could only find Mike’s body who had actually shielded him from the worst of the explosion. He was almost vaporised but Ajax did not give him a mercy death. He instead gave him a satchel charge, knowing he would like to go out with a bang. He could not find the corpse of Elise amongst the ruins and times was running out. He and the last 6 marines evacuated into the maintenance tunnels and fled the battle. He received the ‘oly oly oxen free’ on a UNSC E-band and immediately heads for the source of it, CASTLE base with the last of the marines ,fixing up a pair of warthogs lying in an abandoned bunker complex and then getting a fully working third. Through the surface is hellish they keep to the canyons and city ruins to hide themselves. By the time he gets there the SPARTANS had retreated and castle base was destroyed. He tried playing out the oly oly oxen free code several times but got no reply. After a week of moving amidst the ruins of Reach He seemed to get an oly oly oxen free code briefly but it only played once, perhaps just covenant repeating it. After the covenant fleet began to move away it was then they heard something on FLEETCOM. Apparently a ONI controlled Cruiser, the Dark Star had entered the system and was scanning for survivors. After being picked up then debriefed the ship jumped to one of the inner colonies, where he soon received orders along with one of the prototypes of the mark VI MJOLNIR armour, more well known as the CQB armour. He brief came to Earth for a short time to pick up his awards and pay respect to his family’s grave when he learned the master chief was still alive. He immediately got into a scuffle with his, denouncing him as a coward for retreating from Reach but was then told that other SPARTANS survived but not Elise. He returned to the Dark Star for deep space missions. Since then he operated on raiding missions until the battle of Earth. He requested to be redeployed to Earth but instead was given other orders. More information was needed on the threat to Earth so he and a strike team from the SPARTAN III gamma company (whom he affectionately named the little puppies) headed by ONI section three officer Zachary Drogen (whom he not so affectionately called the big dog despite his medium stature) where sent to capture a Covenant station to patch into their communications network and piggy back an AI in his armour to infiltrate and aid him. His luck didn’t last though as a covenant fleet jumped in shortly after capture and the Dark Star had to withdraw. However it seemed his curse was lifting as a separatist fleet entered the system and both routinely massacred each other, letting the Dark Star pick up the pieces. While they learned of the covenant civil war and broadcasted it to command and also of delta halo when he heard Master Chief was there he demanded too go, wanting to reconcile slightly and aid his former comrade. He then dived further into their details and learned of ‘a captured demon’. With that he took full command of the unit then began to give them new orders. To rescue a SPARTAN II.
