"Last time I was on this ship, I was only starting out being a Spartan, and that was ten years ago. Now I’m back and it's nothing but a load of junk."

- Shade talking about the UNSC Shadow of the Night, a frigate he was taken to when he was six.

spartan-129 or shade or known by ONI as CODENAME:knightshade was a special operations spartan for the UNSC AND ONI he was the squad leader for delta company zero.

Early Life
At the age of 6 he was waving a bit of lumber at some Gúta with his eyes closed, and then heard the sound of two gun shots. When he opened his eyes there stood two ONI personnel, who took him via Pelican to a frigate called the UNSC Shadow of the Night, and left a flash clone of him behind. Some of the ONI personnel doubted whether Shade would make a good SPARTAN, but the Captain said that it didn't matter, as he met all of the basic requirements for the program. So, when he turned 15 he underwent the augmentation procedures and successfully survived.

Early Military Career
After he went back to the Captain and was given his MJOLNIR armor, he was sent out on his first special operations mission. He had to find an escaped convict from a prison on the planet Reach, and he tracked him to a group of rebels and he was the leader of them. But as he took aim at them, a damaged Pelican flew past Shade, crashed into the ground, and slid right through the rebel base, destroying everything in it.

The Harvest Campaign
When the Harvest Campaign began, he was on-board a Pelican heading down to help hold off the Covenant when a frigate was shot down, so they decided to avenge them by taking out the battlecruiser that destroyed them. So they boarded them and Shade headed for the bridge, while the rest spread out through the rest of the ship. They soon took it over with great effort, and then Shade was forced to live with the fact that one of his best friends had to stay behind to detonate a C12 charge in the core of the ship.

The First & Second Battles of Earth
During the First Battle of Earth, he participated in an energy sword duel with an Elite Field Marshal when a Jackal came and shot him in the leg, making him fall back and giving the Elite the advantage, but during his fall he dropped the sword, so he unsheathed his kukri and jumped at the Elite's feet and stabbed him in the leg. This made the Elite drop his Sword in pain. Shade then used the sword to finally kill the Field Marshal.
