Petty Officer First Class Samantha-015 is one of the last surviving SPARTAN-II supersoldiers.

Personality and Description
Like Annie, Sam one of the more-openly-caring individuals among the SPARTAN-IIs. However, she tends to opt out of emotional problems that she believes she is unable to solve. Sam has a habit of personally seeking revenge on anyone/anything who kills or severally injures someone close to her. However, her vengefulness does not apply pain directly inflicted upon herself, which is why she only minorly dislikes the UNSC for ruining her life. She also has a tendency to disobey some orders that she finds unreasonable.

Sam is the Platinum Team’s anti-tank specialist. Her skills lie mostly in explosive-type weapons ranging from grenades to rocket launchers. She is also often seen carrying a plasma pistol, due to “its abundance and ease of use” in her terms.

Early Childhood
Sam was kidnapped and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II Program at the age of 6 by Dr. Catherine Halsey. She was trained on Reach by Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez. In the year 2525, she underwent and survived severe augmentation procedures that enhanced her physical capabilities.

Operation Squall
The Contumacy was hidden within a complex cavern on Catacomb. Covenant forces led personally by 'Akamee were encountered during the operation. After 'Akamee was killed, Dom-094 was separated from the team in the chaos of the battle. The covenant gave up the search as the Minister of Justice decided that this relic was unimportant and ordered the glassing of Catacomb. The members of the Platinum Team were forced to leave their comrade behind, greatly disheartening Sam.

Battle of Upsilon Andromedae e
A distress signal was released from the Upsilon Andromedae system. A small fleet of five UNSC ships with two of them housing remaining members of the Platinum Team answered the call. By the time they reached the system, the Covenant had already glassed much of Upsilon Andromedae e and the SPARTANs were unable to be deployed. The UNSC Alacrity, which had Christian-221 and Sam-015, was severally damaged in the naval battle that ensued. During the escape, the slipspace drive sent the Alacrity several light-years off course.

The Alacrity landed on the planet Paludis, homeworld to an intelligent species called the Informocaudatus, which the humans soon called them Hellbenders, after the salamander species of Earth. The Hellbenders welcomed the humans, but due to the species' grotesque appearance, all but Sam distanced themselves away from the natives. Sam was interested in their culture and often spent time with them, soon learning basic aspects of their language.

Invasion of Paludis
A year later, a lone coincidentally arrived on the planet. The SPARTANs and marines were unable to hide themselves effectively, resulting in a ground battle. This time, the Covenant forces were outnumbered, thanks to the help of the Hellbenders. Most of the Alacrity's systems were fixed in time and it fired its MAC followed by a nuke at the battlecruiser, ending the threat. Once the ship's communications fixed, the humans were able to send a distress signal.

Halo: Platinum Annals Attributes
Sam is great in both melee and ranged combat. Her running speed is average, but her sprinting as her armor ability makes up for it.
