"why is it we don't experiment making our ships with the same kind of sheilding systems then we might actualy stand a chance"

- shade talking about the strength difference between UNSC and covenant ships.

Spartan-129, A.K.A Shade, or as he is known by ONI, CODENAME:knightshade - was a Special Ops Spartan for the UNSC and ONI. Notably, he was the second in command onboard the UNSC Shadow of the Knight.

Early Life
"Get away from me, you ugly freaks."

- Shade, freaking out over a couple Gúta looking at him.

At the age of 6 he was hicking with his father when they walked straight into two male Gúta fighting.He closed his eyes and hid after they crushed his father to death,he then heard gun shots and saw that a couple UNSC soldiers heard the Gúta acting strange and found his fathers body completely crushed and looked around and found shade hiding inside the trunk of an old rotting tree and took him via Pelican to a heavy destroyer called the UNSC Shadow of the Knight, and left a flash clone of him behind. Some of the ONI personnel doubted whether Shade would make a good soldier, but the Captain said that they needed all they help they could get, and so Shade was placed into the spartan II program.

Early Military Career
After being placed into the program, he was assigned to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.

The Harvest Campaign
"Damn it! why the hell did he take off so soon"

- Shade, directed at a civilian transport ship was destroyed while attempting to take off to early.

When the Harvest Campaign began, he was on-board a Pelican heading down to help hold off the Covenant when a frigate was shot down. In an act of vengeance, they attacked the battle cruiser responsible. They boarded the cruiser and Shade headed for the bridge with four other marines, while the rest spread out through the rest of the ship. An intense battle took place of which they eventually won. A close friend of Shade's was forced to stay behind to detonate the C12 charge, a sacrifice Shade kept close to his heart since.

The First & Second Battles of Earth
"Who the hell leaked the location of Earth to these S.O.B'S anyway?"

- Shade remarking on how the Covenant found Earth.

As an active soldier in the First Battle of Earth, he was shot in the leg by a fleeing Jackal whilst dueling an Elite Field Marshall with an energy sword. He fell to the ground, dropping the sword. The Elite raises his own in victory when Shade unsheathed his kukri and sliced at the Elite's leg. The Elite dropped his own sword, which Shade promptly grabbed and stabbed it straight through it's chest and as he boarded a pelican a covenant destroyer came out of slipspace right above his location so he got in and just as the destroyer fired it's classing beam he was flown to a unsc heavy destroyer and was taken off-planet and from there he was taken to castle base where he was augmented to become a spartan II and was assigned as ONI's covert special ops specialist and has worked alone for ONI in secret ever since.
