"Legends are never born, true or not. They are created."

- Maynard, speaking after the decisive victory at Eden V in 2583

Maynard-X112, also known as Sierra X-Ray-One-One-Two and by the callsign Wulf One was a SPARTAN-IV Commando of X-Ray Company. Maynard was known as one of the best graduates of his Company, and fought in many pivotal battles during the First Galactic War. Maynard's Team became the stuff of legend during the war; spook stories for the Insurrectionists they fought, throughout the 30-year war.

Born late into the Human-Covenant War, Maynard's parents were killed during the Battle for Tribute, though he was able to escape with several thousand other civilians to Earth, where he was brought up in an orphanage. Maynard joined the UNSC Military at the age of 17, enlisting into the Marine Corps. After 4 years of sporadic fighting rebels on new frontier worlds, Maynard volunteered for the SPARTAN-IV program, having been marked as physically and mentally superior. After only a year's training, he was deployed, forming 'Wulf Team' from a hand-picked group of his fellow Spartans.

Wulf Team was formed from some of the best Spartans in X-Ray Company, and quickly built up a reputation as being the foremost Spartan Team on the field, rivalling teams Blue Sigma from the Human-Covenant War. The Rebel Army known as the Legion learned to fear the Spartan Team, as their presence would usually spell doom for whatever operations they had set up. Though each member of Wulf was very proficient, it was Maynard's leadership and tactical prowess that pulled them through their missions.

Maynard led his team in many key engagements, not only in frontline battles such as that on Eden V, but in precision strikes, such as the Raid on Uyana in 2579, which led to the capture of General Alfred Bates, a high ranking officer in the Legion.
