Mike-G008

Mike-G008, born Mike Berkowitz, is a Gamma Company Spartan III. An almost archetypical member of the company, Mike was a headstrong, talented individual, perfectly capable of filling any role but exceeding in his particular niche of marksmanship, all hidden under an interior of self doubt and negativity revolving around his past and a far more vicious self hidden behind smoothers.

Background
Mike Berkowitz, like every other Spartan III, wasn't very old when the world around him fell apart at the altar of orbital bombardment. His survival, as with many others, was guaranteed only by his own quick wits and the presence of UNSC rescue forces. His family gone, he was rather quickly ferried away from the rest of the survivors, the loss of one child so quickly forgotten amidst the many corpses left behind on Gurion.
