"When I look back at those days as a sniper, my one regret is that I didn't kill enough of 'em."- Staff Sergeant Jacob Mathers, 2554

 Early Life and Basic Training 

Staff Sergeant Jacob Mathers is an ODST sniper, who took part in both battles of Earth, survived Reach and fought in numerous battles before. Born in the year 2528, Jacob's parents who were both military were killed during the early stages of the war and being an only child, joined the marines to fight the covenant. During basic training he met with his soon to be lifelong friend Martin Poneck, both hated their instructor with a passion. The two graduated and were shipped off to Reach to begin advanced weapons diagnostics and where the two recruits will meet their new outfit. On Reach, they met with Lt. Vicki Canden, their platoon commander, who partnered the two recruits into a new sniper team to replace their old team who was killed on their last mission. Jacob and Martin also befriend two other veterans of the outfit, Janet Wallows and Felix Jardez who become the new mens' mentors. Soon after the platoon is loaded onto a cruiser and taken to a planet to begin a siege to retake the capital city.
