Pre-Conscription
Gareth-031 or 'Achillies' as he is better known was born in England, Earth. His mother died during the birth and his farther unknown, he was placed in an orphanage. He quickly grew up on the streets and got a reputation with the local police as a 'rough one' or 'trouble maker' from a young age. He was not exactly the biggest or strongest of his age group but he possessed speed, a martial prowess and situational awareness rarely seen in a child the age of 6.

These qualities were picked up on by ONI when a police report regarding an aggressive incident involving 8 children was reported on 'SATCOM'. Reportedly 7 children had descended on another who then proceeded to 'eliminate' for lack of better words the attacking children. One Attacker was pronounced dead and the others all severely injured in the fight. Gareth was detained by the police for questioning and maintained it was self defense and he did not mean to kill anyone, though he showed very little remorse for his actions.

Due to the age of all involved this was not an easy case for a local department to deal with, so when ONI requested for Gareth to be transferred into their custody the department Captain was more than happy to oblige. Three days later he was collected and shipped to Reach. To maintain security of the SPARTAN project the police captain was told Gareth would be entered into a re-habilitation program to become an engineer within the UNSC. A poorly made flash clone was placed within a UNSC funded engineering academy which died seven weeks later of 'natural' Causes.

Induction, Training & Graduation


The induction period was hard for Gareth, due to his lack of social skills and a deep seeded inability to trust anyone other than himself, he found it hard to fit in with his peers. As with all SPARTANS, these traits were all but stripped from Gareth in the long and demanding transition from child to Soldier. He began to find structure and purpose in the programme and even started to make 'friends' within his class, most notable and lasting of these friendships were, Az-032, Kiel-115 and Adam-064. Having never had a family structure these friends would become his 'brothers' and the only people Gareth would ever truly trust.

Chief Petty Officer Mendez had noted that Gareth was very selective in the effort he exerted in different classes, the ones he did not like, he got average scores in the tests and showed very little will to progress (maths, Languages, science and other mainstream curricular). However in the subjects that interested him (weapons training, battle tactics and live combat exercise in particular) he put his whole effort into, with a determination that at times, rivaled that of the legendary John-117.

On PT runs he would often point out 'choke points', 'kill zones', and other key strategic locations in the area constantly assessing his surroundings. The others joked, calling him obsessed but Mendez was almost in awe of the sheer diligence and awareness the SPARTAN showed. As a test, Mendez set a number of traps and ambushes on one occasion, to see if he could catch the young soldier out. Gareth managed to evade the traps and 'neutralize' the ambushes with the help of his squad mates. Looking at Mendez he smiled, and continued on the trail.

At the age of 14 Gareth and the rest of the SPARTANS were subjected to a multitude of augmentations and other invasive procedures that would make them the 'Super Soldiers' they were training to be. After a seven day bed rest period, they were given a training program and strict diet designed to optimize their recovery. Not all the candidates survived the augmentations and Gareth was saddened to hear that Jared-091 along with many of his peers had not made it through. Jared was one of the brightest minds Gareth had ever known, showing great skill at infiltration, and a continuous thirst for knowledge. Gareth vowed to train hard and study harder as a sign of respect to his fallen Peers.

For the next six months Gareth honed his skills adjusting to the many benefits the augmentation awarded him. In the Fall of 2525, SPARTAN-II class I graduated. Gareth along with 064, 115, 032, were designated 'Viridian Actual' and immediately sent to command for further details of their assignment. They were transported to Chi-Ceti aboard the UNSC Commonwealth and recived their first set of MJOLNIR armor. <BR><BR>
