Lieutenant Bailey-132 was a Class I SPARTAN-II Commando and the commander of Sapphire Team. He was also the older brother of SPARTAN-038. He retired with his brother in 2562.

Training
Not much is known about his life prior to entering active service. It is known that he was friends with his later squadmates. It is also known that he was good friends with a female trainee, Adeline-009, who died during the augmentation procedures, as her body reacted violently to the ceramic bone grafts, killing her from shock due to the intense pain this caused. Adeline's death may have played a role in his PTSD.

Human-Covenant War
Bailey had trouble in his first few months following his graduation due to a traumatic incident in which his right arm was hit with a round, causing permanent nerve damage. Bailey began developing episodic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following the incident. In spite of this he remained an exceptional soldier, though he would never regain full feeling his arm. He and his squadmates served in engagements such as the and the.

Personality
Bailey was typically reserved and cynical, especially towards non-Spartans. He had a tendency to exploit his high rank and security clearance nearly to the point of outright abuse, and he was also particularly foul-mouthed. He also usually viewed non-Spartans as anywhere from considerably incompetent to completely and utterly useless all-together. All this gave him a tendency to alienate those he was not familiar with.

However, he was always deeply concerned with those he knew well, whether they were Spartans or not, often putting their wellbeing before his own. His subordinates respected and trusted him for this, despite his often condescending attitude.

In combat, Bailey was ruthless and animalistic. He prefered to engage foes at close-range, in order to "see just how much [he] effed up the poor son-of-a-bitch."

Romance
In 2526, he entered a romantic relationship with a young woman named Addison Solaski. Whether or not this relationship became physically intimate is unknown, especially since he had on several occasions expressed a potential interest in becoming celibate for professional reasons, however the decision would have required Solaski's approval.
