Captain Joshua Brown is the leader of the elite 608 th ODST Squadron. He originally participated in the Battle of Washington D.C. as well as battles for numerous Inner and Outer colonies.

Childhood
Joshua Brown lived a normal life in New York City on Earth. He went to New York City Public Educational Facility 12 as a child. He knew the war was going on, but UNSC propaganda prevented him from knowing how bad the war was. When he heard rumors about the Covenant advancing quickly toward the Inner Colonies, he enlisted as an ODST.

Military Career
After Joshua enlisted as an ODST, he was assigned to the 124th ODST Squadron as a Private under Captain Lewis Fitzgerald. He participated in the battles of the remaining Outer Colonies and the Inner Colonies. During the Battle of Reach, he was promoted to First Lieutenant. Joshua escaped reach on the UNSC Halcyon-Class cruiser Pillar of Autumn. When the Autumn was going down on the ring-world Halo, he escaped aboard a life pod. He crashed on the surface near the Library. Eventually making his way near the Autumns crash site, Joshua met up with Sgt. Avery J. Johnson and escaped with him. When he returned to Earth he was promoted to the rank of Captain and given control of the 206th ODST Squadron. When the Orbital Defense Platform Athens was infiltrated, he was sent to the surface to help retake Washington D.C. He, along with the rest of his squad, gathered UNSC and Separatist forces and fought their way out. While they destroyed key Loyalist outposts, vehicles and even a Super Scarab.

Appearance, Anatomy and Armor
Captain Brown is a bit taller and stronger than the rest of the ODSTs. This can be partly attributed to his strict diet and training regimen. He has outlined jaw and cheekbones. Brown also has strong dark brown eyes and black hair. He also wears armor similar to MJOLNIR Gen1 in appearance. The reasons for this is unknown. If one were to recreate his armor in Halo: Reach, they would need the ODST helmet and right sholder, the Mk. 5 left sholder, GUNGNIR knee pads, default wrist, the Assault/Sapper chest and the default visor. The armor he wears is scaled down and more lightweight than MJOLNIR and does not feature enhancements such as strength boosters, but does feature prototype Forerunner shielding not seen on any other UNSC battle armor.

Section III
ONI Section III took interest in Captain Brown after the Battle of Installation 04. They summoned him to give him experimental weapons and armor. They chose him because Brown never talked, and when he did, it was to acknowledge an order. His silence is most likely due to all of the worlds he has seen glassed. His involvement with Section III explains why he is given MJOLNIR like armor and prototype shield technology, but it is still unknown as to why ONI wants ODSTs to wear MJOLNIR like armor.
