Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-256, real name Anthony, is a Class II SPARTAN-II Supersoldier and a member of the UNSC Special Forces Command. He is the Cobalt Team's heavy weapons and demolitions expert. His trademark weapon is the W/AV M6 G/GNR Laser Cannon, aka the SPARTAN Laser. At close quarters, he dual wields 2 M6G Pistols, to make up for the weak power thaty one provides.

Personality
He is usually upbeat, has a good attitude and never lets anything get him down. He tries to make jokes about the situation, but most of the time his jokes aren't ever funny. This puts him at odds with the stotic attitude of Marcus-206.

Early History
Anthony was born in New Paris, Mars on 2531. At age 6, he was abducted by ONI agents and replaced with a flash clone that died days later. Taken to a SPARTAN training facility on Reach, Anthony and 70 other kids were trained Chief Petty Officer Mendez in military combat and discipline. He was paired up with Marcus-206 and team leader Ashley-229. They formed Cobalt Team which performed admirably over some of the other SPARTAN teams. After 7 years of training, Anthony underwent the SAPARTAN Augmentation process. He was one of the first to recover and was immediately sent on the front against the Covenant.
