Dustin-094 is a SPARTAN-II commando who fought alongside Tyler-014 as the second original member of Ghost Squad. He usually operates under the call-signs "Phoenix", or "Ghost 2".

Personality
''"Got a headshot on a Jackal once with my Mike 3-9-2." -Dustin''

''"I've gotten about a thousand of those, kiddo." -ODST serviceman who Dustin was speaking with.''

''"Have ya done it at fifteen-hundred meters through a half-a-foot gap?" -Dustin's response''

Dustin is usually a quiet man, is not easily angered, and is almost always in a good mood. His threshold for emotional stress is high, making him an extremely valuable asset in a situation where any other individual could become emotionally compromised, or be unable to complete the mission due to severe stress. Off the field, he is generally very loose-minded, and generally not serious. He is easily amused by friends or good acquaintances. However, in direct contrast to his off-duty life, Dustin tends to be very serious and calm during battle, another extremely useful trait when considering his role as the squad marksman. This helps him concentrate on missions that require his excellent sniping capabilities. One trait Dustin has retained from childhood is his wish to beat difficult tasks, and master challenges that most would shy from in an instant. This can sometimes ironically become a challenge in itself when he is in combat, as he may occasionally perform short tricks to the dismay, and sometimes agitation, of those working with him.

After Ghost Squad was refitted to fit six soldiers (originally, it was only four), Dustin became very aware of his status as a rarity. Both him and Tyler have agreed not to speak about their status as SPARTAN-IIs, and when they are asked about it, they generally try to avoid the subject. He is known to have a brother-like connection with Tyler, due to their sticking together through many years of service, and experiencing multiple instances where they have saved each other's lives.

Skillset
Dustin's primary skill is sniping with long-range weapons such as the Sniper's rifle and the Designated Marksman's rifle. He has been known to perform "trick shots" with both weapons.
