Spartan SII S223 Gregory bio
Gregory was born in 2530 on Harvest Moon where he also enlisted. In 2547 when he was seventeen, he enlisted in the UNSC Marine corps and trained on Earth and Reach following it through as a career where he would meet his 4 comrades. Gregory and the others would go onto serve in many battles, the most notable battle was The Fall Of Reach where tragedy after tragedy would happen. Three years before Gregory and his team were deployed in reach in 2549, Gregory and his 4 comrades would go onto ODST training. While being trained Gregory entered into a romantic relationship with his fellow ODST  they would later marry early 2550. The trainer that they had pushed them to the brink of breaking but pushed Gregory even further. He would mentally and physically abuse him for hours on end in front of the unit trying to prove to the unit Gregory was useless and worthless.

Battle of Reach:

After two years of training as ODSTS the team finally saw some action on reach. Gregory who oversaw the unit was contacted by HC (High command). They had just been given a mission to clear out and an area needed to safely transport civilians to the safety of earth. Little did Gregory and the team know they would be in the middle of the fight. Before they left Gregory warned them all that they “may not come back from this battle that no matter who falls or who dies push on keep your heads up fight for those who fall for the UNSC”

Unfortunately for the team they were all split up after they had to adjust their pods directions because of the covenants air artillery. Gregory knowing, he wouldn’t be able to hold out and wait for his team moved into the city and tried to get to the objective area. About 7 hours after the drop and seeing what he saw he finally got to the objective. His team got there about an hour and a half after he did. As a team they fought the covenant and pushed them away. Unfortunately, they celebrated to soon Twister was fatally wounded. He had poked his head up at the wrong time and was shot. Twister landed right at Gregory’s feet. They buried him where he fell. This was his first real experience of war and already he had lost one of his best friends. He held onto his tags as he said his last goodbye to his friend. His wife could see the pain on his face. He looked at her with nothing in his eyes he was always bright and happy but everything he was was gone.

One Year after the first teams dealings on reach:

One year later yet another member of the unit died. They were on Patrol when they were ambushed by covenant. Gregory, his wife and jackal fell back to a high ridge. Once most of the covenant forces were killed Gregory gave Jackal the order to move forward. Jackal had made it to the area and made contact with Gregory telling him the area was not cleared. He gave targets to Gregory. Gregory took out all the targets but one. The first bullet Gregory shot missed its mark and ricocheted of a rock and hit Jackal. The second bullet hit its target. Gregory and his wife ran down the ridge to check on Jackal Gregory didn’t know he hit him till he got there he saw Jackal laying down holding his wound. Jackal was alive but was losing to much blood he knew he couldn’t save him. Before he died he said this “"Helljumper, Helljumper. Where have you been? Feet first into hell and back again! When I die, please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! Just pack my box with PT gear! 'Cause one early morning, 'bout zero-five, the ground'll rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! Don't you worry, don't come undone! It's just my ghost on a PT run!". He then gave Gregory his tags. They buried him where he fell. There was only two members left in the unit Gregory and his wife.

Last weeks of the reach campaign:

It was the last weeks of the Reach campaign before the glassing, Gregory and his wife were on their way back to base to be evacuated off reach when their pelican was shot down by a banshee. They had contacted base and they had set an LZ. They fought through the waves and waves of covenant to finally get to the LZ. They had made it there when they were told the pelican would be late and they needed to clear the LZ. They hooked in there for over 3 hours fighting side by side each making fun of each other playing around making promises when suddenly, he heard a scream. She’d been hit by a piece of shrapnel from a grenade that Gregory had thrown. Lucky for them the pelican had just arrived. Once back at base she was rushed in for surgery. After 4 hours the doctors came out with hung heads. The injury was to extensive and there was to much bleeding and the shrapnel had pierced an artery. She didn’t make it. They broke the news to him softly. Gregory didn’t take the news very well. Crying and weeping for hours he finally walked to his wife body and kissed her head for the last time. She was buried on Earth on the 7th of September 2553

After the losses:

After the loss of everyone he knew the UNSC conscripted Gregory as a Spartan II. He fought in the Battle of earth. He never fully recovered from the loss of his wife he blamed himself for her death after all it was he who threw the grenade that killed her. He is still serving to this day with the UNSC and has promised himself he would until the day he dies.
