User:TripleDot117/Ssgt. Jake Benson Menzies

Birth and Childhood
Jake Menzies was born in a Human Seperatist Colony on an unchartered planet in the galactic outer rim to his Mother, Mary and Father, Jackson. At the age of 3 he began home schooling with his mother while his father worked in a mine on his home planet. Jake never left his home until 2523 when the UNSC NavSpecWar raided the colony and executed his parents, as they were supposedly URF collaborators. He then lived on the streets for a year until he was picked up by a squad of marines who took him to Earth. When he was 9, the Covenant started their campaign against humanity.

Adolesence and Adult Life
When he was 13, he began training at a UNSC bootcamp in Melbourne, Australia. Jake was never liked by his squadmates as he was always the fastest, strongest and smartest of the group. He was also too quiet for them, as he never socialized much. When he was 16 in 2532, he abandoned his post as a UNSC Marine and joined an mercenary group on Mars and like pirates, pillaged and attacked civilian and UNSC ships.

He was captured in 2537 by ODST due to a tip off made by civilian who overheard them talking. When tried, he was given 2 choices, Be Executed or Join the Army (Again).

He was assigned to the Immortals Shocktrooper group while his fellow mercenaries were executed, and fought numerous campaigns against the Covenant, as assisted in capturing a Covenant Supply Line on Anaon. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for destroying a Wraith with a mug of hot tea.

After the War Jake settled down in Australia on Earth after the war, married to Joanna McMurdo. They have a child called Jackson.

Death Jake was killed in a car accident in 2560 when his Warthog flipped end over end into a ditch at approximately 11:56pm after returning from a game of cricket.
