Life on Tribute
"I'm not confident in his abilities, socially. Though in combat he excels to the maximum."

- James Ackerson.

Born near the end of the Human-Covenant War, on May 7th, 2549, on the re-terraformed planet of Tribute, Joseph was the son of a pair of traveling lovers, hippies of the time. Joseph, named after famous 2540s rock singer Joseph "Tennessee" Tebron, was forced to travel with them, exposed to loud music and extreme lifestyles. In 2554 his parents were confronted by Tributarian Child Protective Services about the family's lifestyles. After going to court, Joseph's parents lost him, and he was taken to a foster home in the city of Marianna.

As Joseph grew, he became a quiet boy, exposed to less and less things, turning from the eccentric, hyperactive baby to the calm, collected teenager.

After seven failed meetings with foster parents, Joseph was met by two officers from the Office of Naval Intelligence. He was selected to be a candidate for Delta Company, and was, a week after his meeting, conscripted to the SPARTAN-III's Delta Company.

Early Military Career
With the many other selected candidates for Delta Company, Joseph was taken to New Quebec to begin his training. He was trained under Ezekiel-254, who was somewhat of a father figure for Joseph.
