Mathew-872 is a Spartan III specialist but was forced as a front lines man during the events of Reach. Mathew was kidnapped at a young age while planet touring with his parents for the Spartan III project. Mathew is known by his Code name: "Leave no Trace" or simply "Trace" this comes from his adept ability to leave no trace of the victims file of being hacked or tampered with. Mathew also specializes in his complete and thorough knowledge of not only most of UNSC equiptment but also the Covenant's. Mathew, constant space travel and movement rendered Mathew to make few friends and become extreamly tolerent to difficult situations, these traits had ONI select Mathew as one of the many to be evaluated for Spartan III training. The year Mathew was kidnapped was 2535. Mathew is known to be one of the few spartans to have a mental disability and still be active.

Life before the program for Mathew was in his perspective, a happy life. He was born in 잉산 in Korea on Earth. His father Korean, and his Mother American. Mathew had the opportunity to travel to many worlds because of his fathers constant need in large Earth goverment science projects. Mathew during that time gained, culture, understanding, and an outstanding education during the age of six.

Important Events in Military Career
Spartan-872 now known as operative "Trace" first encountered his first fight when deployed with a small team of other Spartan III's (formerly Lazurus-038, and Kateland-182.) They were sent to steal classified Covenant information about their next strategic atack was going to be. The information was situated in s small covenant cruiser. All was going well and Mathew was in the middle of accessing information inside the cruiser but had something strange bump him on his left elbow, a plasma gernade. Mathew's arm grotesquely blew off. Biofoam was immeadieatly applied to slow to bleeding but not for long. Blinking lights appeared on of the spartans HUD representing a retreat, Mathew insisted on staying a moment longer to download the information. The two spartans defended Mathew util he was able to take the information he need and they all sprinted as fast as possible to their randevu on a Pelican. Elites, Grunts and Jackals had slown the spartans down but they eventualy made it to the vehicle bay and jumped through the sheilding. One last jump to the Pelican, Mathew suffered a terrible loss but ended up gaining a realtionship with two other spartans, people.

Mathew was then taken out of action for a short period of time to have his arm replaced with a prosthetic. Mathew first refused to have his arm replaced with a prosthetic but eventually agreed. With his new arm Mathew can perform actions such as hacking or accuracy placement are dramatically increased.

Mathew was once again called again for duty under the name of Trace. With 038 and 182 he was sent out to sent to the front lines but later in the heat of battle was reasigned to sabotage a Covenant carrier holding high priority ultra's. All three managed to sneak into the carrier ship strong hold and board the ship. Before they could even get in the elites found them and the rest of the covenant followed. Trace and his team took down the covenant and stole the ship but before Trace had got in last he was sniped with a beam rifle from his head vertically only hitting his frontal lobe. All assumed that he had died but the two managed to get him to the hands of a military hospital. It had outfitted him some experimental equipment, a prosthetic front lobe of his brain which does it's best to mimick the genuine thing. Both Lazurus and Kateland claim he had never been the same afterwords.

Personality
Spartan-872 has intresting personality that has changed over the years of cranial damage and physical disability. 872 has exhibited a content life style in Spartan training gaining no allies or freinds seeming anti social and aloof. 872 was forced to act in teams for the kind of work he excelled in which was hacking. 872 has suffered terrible mental damage from his already wounded state, being taken away from his parents, not trusting others (paranoia), a replaced frontal lobe, and a loss of an enitre limb. Always having mental swings from simply apathetic to going into a state of mania. 872 has always had ann unstable mind but it has been clearly wounded. Even more, UNSC seems to care at all with his condition considering him an important asset in his feild with few others that have such a talent. 872 has the great ability of memorization allowing him to memorize thousands of subjects that constantly swim about in his head, sometimes he is so caught up in a subject in his head he blurts out a question that seems to start from no origin.

Psych Profile
Mathew at a young age had carring parents who he had a close relationship with, however, Mathew alo moved constanly never getting settled in one area at a time. Taking Mathew away from his parentsalso made him hit another stage of a reluctiveness in making a close relationships with anyone. Mathew is now redered to a form where he is more cautious of his actions in making freinds, knowing he was going to move, he is reluctent to make freinds or close relationships.

Mathew during his military career seemed more content and happy with his new friends Lazurus and Kateland. However, the loss of his left arm devastated Mathew but made a quick recovery to a happy life style. Countless battles and seeing constant death of following marines barely phased him, it seems that Mathew has still kept part of his apathetic and slightly aloof life style with him.

The thing that worries me most is the absence of Mathew's true frontal lobe of his brain, it had been replaced with an experimental version that attempts to mimick what was his thought processing part of his brain. His personality has changed dramatically since then. Mathew shows worrying signs of a black and right thought process, all or nothing. He thinks very logically, I think he may have been transformed into a sort of living computer.
