Alexander Burn

Alexander Burn (SN: 05555-44727-AB) is a SPARTAN-IV and leader of Fireteam Vulcan. Burn was formerly a Lieutenant Colonel in the UNSC Marine Corps before becoming a SPARTAN.

Early Life
Burn was born and raised in the city of New Alexandria, Reach; where he grew up amidst the large city. His parents were both wealthy business executives, affording him an expensive education at a private institution.

On August 13, 2552, Burn and his parents boarded a ship bound for Earth after learning of the Covenant's presence on Reach; a mere five days before the Siege of New Alexandria and its subsequent glassing.

Marine Corps Career
Upon arriving on Earth, Burn immediately enlisted with the UNSC Marine Corps, having just turned eighteen two months prior. By the Battle of Earth in October, Burn was fully trained and stationed in Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America.

After the Battle of Earth, Burn served in multiple small campaigns within the Sol System. He demonstrated a remarkable talent for devising ingenious tactical strategies, and thus rapidly rose through the ranks. By the fall of 2555, Burn had reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at the age twenty-one.

On January 9, 2556, Burn formally resigned from the Marine Corps to start a life with his fiancé Samantha Aran.

Family Life
After resigning from the Marine Corps, Burn and Aran married on May 2, 2556. They lived together in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio.

On February 26, 2557, Aran gave birth to Evelyn. However, due to an undiscovered condition afflicting Aran, she went into cardiac arrest and lost massive amounts of blood, killing her within the minute.

Trivia
"Burn chose the color for his armor based on the fact that the hottest stars burn purple; however, humans can only see the blue light they emit. His favorite color is actually orange."
