Shane-A112

Shane-A112 is a former SPARTAN-III child soldier. Recruited as part of Alpha Company after his homeworld Harvest was devastated by the Covenant, he received intensive combat training for seven years and underwent biochemical augmentation to boost his skills and durability. He was severely wounded while participating in Operation: PROMETHEUS, the mission which saw nearly all of Alpha Company killed in action, and tortured at the hands of the Covenant until a particularly clever cleric discovered that Shane could be used to activate previously dormant Forerunner technology. Shane escaped his captors through a Slipspace translocation portal and emerged in an abandoned Forerunner complex on the planet Arcadia, where he eventually found his way to the remaining human colonists and became part of their farming community, Abaskun, under the pretense that he was a survivor of the Covenant attack on the colony years earlier. He was not present when the Covenant returned and glassed Arcadia, having found work aboard one of the ships used to ferry food supplies to the Inner Colonies.
