User:MortisGladiator/Eli Clarkson

Second Lieutenant Eli Jeremiah Clarkson was a UNSC Marine and ODST shock trooper. The Lieutenant was a military servicemen at heart, following every rule and instruction by the book with religious zeal. Despite repeated acts of heroism and honor, his quick, ill tempered tongue has kept him from further promotion.

Eli served most of his career under Captain Stephen T. Hammer as the demolitions expert and heavy weapons specialist. His constant aggression and cold hearted attitude often caused minor confrontations within the squad, most notably against Melissa Dureyies. A relentless soldier, Eli still held the respect of all who served with him.

He and the rest of his remaining squad mates would receive Spartan-IV augmentations and join SPARTAN.
