"S-312 is more akin to a hyper-lethal vector than a soldier. A lone-wolf assassin that has broken organizations and made entire militia groups disappear."

- Nate's performance report.

(Lieutenant) Nate-B312 is a SPARTAN-III Commando in Beta Company in the UNSC Marine Corps, and of Naval Special Warfare Command.

Nate was born on the planet known as Masyaf IV, on July 23rd, 2533 , and became a member of the SPARTAN-IIIs due to his traits, similar to most SPARTAN-IIs. He was chosen after his parents were killed during the glassing of Masyaf IV.

He became a loner, becoming the UNSC's own private weapon. He took out Covenant on colonies, wiped out entire Insurrectionist operations, and was part of the Special Operations Joint Task Force known as Noble Team during the Battle of Reach.

Early Life
Born on the Muslim-prominent planet of Masyaf IV, on July 23rd, 2533, in the capital city, Cyprus City. Nate was born to a half-caucasian, half-latino family. His father was a teacher at a high school in Cyprus, while his mother served at the air base. When Nate was born, they told the parents that the mother wasn't capable of having any more children. Nate was going to be an only child.

Nate spent his first few years as a middle-class child. He lived in a family that wanted to be together, but because of financial problems, could not. Nate often found that watching his favorite show, Tom & Jerry, would calm him down. He would love seeing the pain on the cat, for his bad deeds. This kept him happy in his life.

Nate loved the air force. All over his room, he had displays of classic fighters, such as the World War II era Mitsubishi Zero, or the Cold War era B-52 Stratofortress. Along with this, the cargo in his model planes usually contained of dioramas of mice, as his favorite episode of Tom & Jerry involved Jerry, the mouse, and Tom, the cat, fighting each other in a style seen in war, using household items, such as an egg carton, for bombers, mortars, and missiles.

Nate's family was going through a financial crisis, though, and in his first year of school, he was often called a nerd, due to his high amount of knowledge of aircraft, but was a friend to many.

Nate was not the best physically, but he had a large range of knowledge when it came to aircraft, as stated many times before. He also knew a lot about physics by the time of second grade, to which teachers were saying he was able to comprehend physics at a level of which he was two grades ahead.

His parents had trained him well, as he was more intelligent than anything. He loved reading, and while his classmates read picture books, he was already reading chapter books.

One year before his planet was glassed, his parents decided to adopt another. The child was African-American, and was less than a year old. Most on Masyaf IV were Muslim, but the family were not. They were Roman-Catholic, and they were one of few who pledged against the segregation on the planet.

The family had originally planned to get a Latino child, but to prove they were diverse too, the adopted an African-American child. They named her Alice, and brought her along in strikes, and other anti-racism acts.

Many of the family's friends were outraged by the family, calling them racist, but they had not gotten the child for the sole purpose of being an anti-racism token, but to be a part of the family.

Glassing and the SPARTAN-III Program
"Son, we gotta go to mommy. C'mon. Tom & Jerry can wait! We have to get to the airbase!"

- Nate's father, upon seeing the carriers.

It was a normal day. The middle of August, summer starting to wane. Nate's mother had left for the airbase hours ago, and Nate's father and himself went to his school. They split up, and Nate went to his second grade class, his father to his class.

Nate studied throughout his day, doing the usual sets of classes. He stayed in one class the whole day, as most in Elementary did, and his class had a view to the east of Cyprus.

His father's class had a view to the north, Cyprus' downtown.

It had never mattered, as they saw Cyprus every day, but Nate's class had no view of what was about to begin.

The particular day was rainy, as rain sprinkled down on the school.

At about 1:00 standard civilian time, five cruisers and two carriers made a pinpoint jump out of Hyperspace.

Nate's father's class had a view of the North, where they had appeared. Nate's father spilled his coffee, and got his class up.

The other side of the school had no view, and Nate called his son to leave for the day. Just as he arrived at the bus which was going to get the two sixth grade classes to the evacuation point, the alarm bell rang, and hundreds of students poured out.

Nate's father drove the bus since the bus driver had taken too long, and they weren't headed to the evacuation point, but to the airbase.

The class saw the carriers. It was going to be a few swift moves, for the planet to be glassed.

The bus ignored all traffic warnings, including the city's dumb AI, Redshirt, and drove to the airbase. A group of pelican was evacuating nearby civilians, but Nate's mother was a Longsword pilot. She was already in the air, en route to the small fleet.

There were no major UNSC stations in the area, and the nearest UNSC fleet wouldn't be to the system for another hour.

One the first Pelican, Nate's father's class was boarding. Nate and his father tried to board, but Nate's father had been pulled in first, and Nate had been left behind on accident.

Nate was pulled onto the second plane, and met the only friend he would have for a time. His name was Tobias. The two were the only children on that certain Pelican. Nate's father was on another, headed away from the fleet to a group of Civilian carriers, which would take them to the UNSC ships, when they arrived.

A few Pelicans were shot down during flight, but neither of the children were sure if their parents were aboard. They had both come upon the same situation, as they had been separated from their parents in boarding. This certain Pelican made it to the carriers, and went back to rescue more people as the civilians boarded.

The glassing had already begun, and plasma torpedoes were flying. The planet was being glassed, and four cities had already burnt to a crisp. They were almost to Cyprus City, and the downtown was the central military area for the planet.

Nate and Tobias watched as Pelicans arrived, and waited for their parents. Neither came. The Pelicans finally stopped coming, and when the last one arrived, they left the Pelican behind, burned and damaged by a plasma torpedo.

At 2:34 standard civilian time, the fleet arrived, and the Covenant had already begun glassing the planet. The three human carriers made it to the Marathon cruiser, the Adam's Apple. The certain ship started back as soon as all carriers were aboard, while the rest of the fleet stood by to fight the Covenant.

The planet was deemed lost at 9:00 that night. The UNSC retreated, and jumped for a random location, as per the Cole Protocol.

SPARTAN-III Training
"This kid loves planes. Give him a few years, and I might nominate him to test out the Sabre for us."

- James Ackerson, to Flight director, Philip Bushnell.

After arriving on the strange planet of Onyx, the SPARTANs were told they would be the protector of Earth and all her colonies. They were told of the same propaganda that the SPARTAN-IIs were. He had no idea he would be sent on suicide missions. They told them this aboard a plane. The commanding officers then told them their parents were dead.

The SPARTANs were ordered to paradrop upon the pickup location. The SPARTANs jumped from the plane. Tobias had bad luck. His chute broke, and he was sent freefalling into a lake. The rest of the SPARTANs dropped to the pickup location, where Chief Petty Officer Mendez picked them up.

The SPARTANs drove to Camp Currahee, where the commanding officers marched the SPARTANs out for training. They began with usual exercises, not unlike those from his school. They began with sit ups. Then push ups, the grapevine, etc. They went on with this and then an obstacle course. They were teamed up, and B312, as he was now called, was teamed up with two others. Gavin and Koba. The two pushed him around, and taunted him as they sped through the obstacle course. He had taken enough by the time the team was walking back for their first SPARTAN lunch.

One of the two pushed B312 out of the way, and he finally broke. He threw a left hook, and knocked out Koba. Gavin got angry, and tried to tackle Nate. Nate had dodged, and was standing in front of a mud puddle on purpose. Gavin had landed in mud, and Nate had started kicking him.

He was separated from the team, and immediately, they knew he was different.

He was assigned to be alone, and as the days went on, he became more and more distant. He talked less, and was more by the book.

One one certain occasion, Nate and Gavin had found each other alone in the weight room right before Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM, and Gavin had wanted to "spar". Nate ignored him, and when Gavin tried to punch him while he was lifting weights, Nate hit him with the twenty-five pound weight.

When Project: CHRYSANTHEMUM began, most were nervous. Nate had heard about it, and was excited. Nate became the first subject to undergo the augments, and became even more distant. He traveled to the UNSC Hopeful, a medical station, with the rest of Beta Company, where he underwent the augmentations.

After the augmentations, SPARTAN-B312 hardly ever spoke. B312 became the best of Beta Company, as he never talked unless ordered, he always followed orders, and was an excellent SPARTAN.

He became a loner after augmentations, and the UNSC's own personal weapon.

Early Operations
"He listens, all right. Loud and clear. But does he comprehend what I'm saying? No."

- One of B312's superior officers, on his performance.

After training, B312 had been tried with different classes in a squad. He had been amazing as a marksman. As seen in a certain battle, B312 had easily taken down five targets, swiftly, and quietly, from a long distance, allowing his team entrance to a militia base. The squad of marines was pinned down, though he was given direct orders to stay and give sniper support. B312 pulled out his rifle, and opened fire on the militia. He went into a rampage, and took out all of the militiamen.

Though not his weakness, B312 was not an expert in close quarters combat. Though he could hit hard, and knew a few martial arts moves, he wasn't the all knowing specialist like SPARTAN-II Frederic-104. Though B312 did have a weakness. Teamwork. He was great at listening, said one of his many CO's, but he didn't always follow the rules. He would often go solo, against his enemy, disobeying orders, and ahead of his team, completing the mission long before his comrades.

B312 looked down upon his SPI armor, as he thought it gave away his position during sniper support, so he painted the helmet to where there was only a singular orange circle visible.

During one mission, B312 watched by a scope, as his entire team was killed. The one time he had followed orders, his team had gone down.

B312 was assigned another team, and went through four missions with them. In a mission right before Operation: TORPEDO, the team had gone through a mission which involved assassinating a Insurrectionist leader. B312 had shot the leader's leg, and the team was forced to kill everyone else. Right before the exfil. dropship arrived, B312 had personally bashed the leader down with the barrel of his sniper rifle.

His last mission before the all together Operation: TORPEDO, was another mission in which his team was on a separate mission from he. B312 was to pave the way for yet another team. Instead, he completed the mission, alone. When the team arrived, they found that everyone was dead. Standing right by the package they were supposed to retrieve, was B312.

After the mission, B312 took some time off, but was called out again for other reasons.

Operation: TORPEDO
"This is just like Pickett's charge!"

- An unknown SPARTAN-III, referencing the climax of the American Civil War.

NOTE: This section under construction.

The briefing was simple. Shut down a Covenant refinery on the edge of UNSC space. The refinery was making a great refueling station for nearby Covenant, and the SPARTAN-IIIs were to take it out. Or at least Beta Company was.

They were inserted in Long Range Stealth Orbital Insertion Pods, and dropped onto the surface.

Covenant forces were light, and the SPARTANs progressed. Nuclear bombings had already failed. The SPARTANs rushed forward, and immediately fought with Covenant. Jackals, Grunts, Elites, and others fell in gory rivers of blood. 12 SPARTANs marked no vitals already.

The resistance was light. Not many Covenant. When the Covenant realized the true numbers of the SPARTANs, they started strafing runs by Seraphs. The Seraphs flew by, striking down another SPARTAN.

Four more SPARTANs went down.

The other two-hundred some charged through the lines, anxious to get to the safety of the factory.

While the other SPARTANs were approaching, B312 was staying behind, providing support for them, when the Seraphs began their strafing runs. B312 was forced to get to cover, when he saw three flares go up. Two of the Seraphs went down, one killing a SPARTAN. B312 saw the factory in the distance, and the Seraphs coming around. Since they were coming around at intervals, he decided to take cover when they came, and as they went around, he would make his way, and then take cover, and he would repeat the process until he got to the factory.

He made his way up, when the Covenant started dropping bombs. The Seraphs were taking out SPARTANs by the dozens. Jackal Snipers took point, and started picking the SPARTANs off. In total, an approximate one-hundred SPARTANs weren't reading in vitals.

B312 sprinted towards the factory, when a Jackal got a hit on his foot. Not a great shot, but it immobilized him in the middle of the battlefield, as Seraphs were bombing and gunshots were flying.

The Jackal was about to shoot B312, when a Seraph bombed the Jackal. B312 lied there for a few more minutes, until the fighting slowed.

He got up, and began on his way to the factory. The bombings had stopped, and seven covenant cruisers pinpoint jumped right ahead. They dropped thousands of Covenant, and he dropped down, pulled out his sniper rifle, and killed hundreds of Covenant. He was taking the soldiers out, when he saw nearby soldiers being overwhelmed.

B312 got up once more, and began running towards the navpoint on his HUD. The factory. When he reached the factory, Team Foxtrot was busy arming the charges. The two defending SPARTANs were at the perimeter. B312 saw that another was inside, arming the charges. HE realized that the Electro Magnetic charge would set off the target in seconds. He turned, and ran. B312 made a split second decision, and jumped off the cliff. Behind him, there was a flash of light, and two more SPARTANs jumped behind him. The explosion blinded B312 temporarily, and he almost crushed himself by landing on the shore. The explosion vaporized everyone and everything else above the cliffside. After lying on the shore for a few hours, two SPARTANs came to his rescue, and brought B312 aboard a prowler. The ship jumped away, and B312 survived, albeit with a foot injury.

Battle for Reach
"I've read your file, but you can leave that "lone wolf" stuff behind."

- Carter-A259, meeting B312, now Noble Six.

This section to be expanded on upon Halo: Reach's release.

Preferred Weaponry

 * SRS99D Anti-Materiel: The SRS99D Anti-Materiel is a weapon in which B312 can always depend on. It is usually his weapon of choice, in the case that it is the only weapon he hasn't added on to. He has had the rifle since he began his SPARTAN operations.
 * MA37 ICWS: In case something goes wrong in a mission, which with B312, wasn't unlikely, he also carried a long barreled variant of the MA37 ICWS, also in case that something happens to his SRS99D.
 * M392B Long Range Designated Marksman Rifle(SOCOM): The M392B LR-DMR is a rifle that is a skimmed down Special Operations variant of the M392 DMR. B312 prefers this weapon over the standard DMR, and uses it whenever he doesn't need to provide Sniper support from an extremely long range, for it's quick rate of fire, and bigger caliber than the standard DMR.
 * D99 Stallion High Power Revolver: A non-standard issue weapon, this is B312's favorite pistol. He collected it from an insurrectionist.

Mental Report
(As of April 12th, 2550, 19:00 Hours)

''A loner. That's one word I could describe him with. Despite that we force him to work with others, I think he performs better alone. He's one of the best Threes'. I can't afford to have him lost, so I often send him in with a team. Though that doesn't matter. He's heavily antisocial. Heavily. The only way I can get him to communicate is by the fact I'm his CO. He's a good kid, though. He seems to suffer from other diseases, such as PTSD, which I'm worried about. He saw hundreds of Spartans die. He watched as rivers of blood poured onto his feet. It was saddening, but, he's a SPARTAN. Me and the team made the decision to evac him on that Prowler.... Black Cat, was it? I think not only PTSD. When he sees the blood of a comrade, or something he really hates, such as... Rebels, he'll go berserk. In one notable mission in my tabs, I saw that one time, he was supposed to take out a rebel leader. Quick and swift. Not what he did. He shot him in the leg, an artery. He compromised his teams position, and gunfire erupted around the incapacitated leader. Then, after the battle, B312 personally bashed his head in with the barrel of his rifle. Scares me. When he was a kid, I heard he loved planes. We trained him with the Sabre. I hope that comes in handy some time. I believe it will. The point is, he can go psychopathic. He's insane, and usually, he never says a word about it. That's all I can say. The rest is classified.''


 * Sincerely, J. Ackerson
