SPARTAN-B120

"It's not that I particularly enjoy using fire to cause pain. It's just that something... stirs in me when I see the flames coming out of my weapon..."

- Hamish-B120 on his choice of weapons

Hamish-B120 is a SPARTAN-IV and a member of Assault Team Nenya.

Appearance
Hamish wears his red hair at a medium length, and it is notable for normally being smeared with ashes or scorch marks. He bears a scar on his cheek from an incident during training.

Mental Report
Although mentally stable, Hamish has an unusual amount of interest in fire and explosions. While this estranges him somewhat from his comrades, he is always eager to discuss his specialty with anyone willing to listen and shares squadmate Samuel's passion for combat.

Preferred Weapons
Hamish mainly uses an M705 Defoliant Projector to clear rooms for his squad, backing it up with an M23 Grenade Launcher (when he can get his hands on one). He is also particularly adept and accurate with grenades and is known for his good throwing arm.

Strengths
As his assault teams demolitions expert, Hamish is extremely capable with explosives of any kind and is known to create IEDs in his spare time. Along with this and his accuracy with grenades, he is absolutely merciless with his flamethrower, often holding down the trigger until the barrel overheats.

Weaknesses
"There's no point to an explosion if it ain't going to be big!"

- Hamish-B120

Hamish is infamous for his lack of any subtlety whatsoever. He can never see an answer to a problem that does not require fire or explosives and always speaks his mind in social situations, regardless of the sensitivity of the subject. This has, to his increasing annoyance, prevented him from ever getting a solid date.

History
Born to Scottish parents on Earth, Hamish grew up fiercely proud of his Highlander ancestry. This pride (and his deep accent) remained with him throughout training, and he always reacted violently to any teasing about it. His passion for fire and explosions began to develop and an early age and continued as his training progressed, even after his face was scarred when an IED he had built blew up in his face. He was sorely disappointed when he was not assigned to an engineering team, but adapted and used his skills to improve the CQB potential of his new team.
