PERFORMANCE
"The Jack of All Trades, as he has been called. Kartal has truly proven himself as a soldier in the field. He excels with nearly any weapon. He is certainly dependable and has, to date, never failed any requirements bestowed upon him. Rock-Solid under pressure. As far as being in a command position, this Spartan cares deeply about the safety of his men. Kartal nearly gave his life to save another Spartan in a training exercise. Quite chatty, though, which could result in problems. Sticks to his Hungarian Roots, often issuing commands to Spartans under his command in Hungarian. Many consider him indestructible."

COMMENTS
"Must keep a watchful eye on him. You never know what he might pull."

Early Childhood
"219 certainly shows some promise... keep an eye on him"

-Colonel James Ackerson, referring to Kartal.

Kartal was born in the city of |Monastir, on the Colony of New Harmony, on July 7, 2523. As a young child, Kartal excelled in Athletics, which led to him being a candidate for the original SPARTAN-III Program. Colonel James Ackserson believed Kartal to be an excellent candidate for the program early on, and eventually organized his abduction at the age of 8.

In his early years in the program, Kartal rebelled against his commanding officer, at the time Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose. Kartal was opposed to the idea of being involved in the SPARTAN-III Program. He often expressed his anger in training exercises, severely injuring his opponents. After spending time in the program, he eventually succumbed to the idea that he had no choice but to continue. Kurt Ambrose spoke briefly to Kartal after hearing of his anger in the program. The discussion left Kartal with the idea that "he was born to serve Earth and all her Colonies," which convinced him to become more optimistic about his situation.

In 2539, at the age of Sixteen, Kartal underwent Project CHRYSANTHEMUM on the UNSC Colony Onyx. The process was successful and Kartal experienced no significant problems as a result of the Augmentation. After completing Augmentation, Kartal was fit for his MJOLNIR Armor System. Close observation of his combat style led to Kartal being paired with the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/JFO Variant. After completing the entire process, Kartal was enlisted into the UNSC Navy at the rank of Petty Officer First Class.
