 
Jack-G068 (born Jack Hsieh; December 30, 2540) is a SPARTAN-III supersoldier of the Gamma Company. He is the younger brother of Henry-G066 and Jim-G067, all three of whom were conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program at the same time. Biography[]Early childhood[]
Jack was born to Bert Hsieh and Wendy Lee in the colony of Miridem on August 7, 2540. As a toddler, he grew up with his two older brothers, Henry and Jim, in their home town. The three brothers were orphaned when the Covenant attacked Miridem and killed their parents in the year 2544. They were rescued in time by the Platinum Team, which escorted them to the nearest transport, successfully keeping the three children from enemy fire. The SPARTANs inspired the three brothers to become SPARTANs themselves in order to protect other civilians from the Covenant. Jack and his brothers were subsequently conscripted as part of the SPARTAN-III Gamma Company and were trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose, Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, and Petty Officers Second Class Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292 on Onyx. Along with Seung-ah-G218 and April-G182, all three brothers were assigned to Team Dao, which would be led by Henry. Two weeks after the SPARTAN-III's augmentation procedures, Team Dao was told that April suffered complications from the enhancements and could therefore no longer join them as a fellow Spartan. Battle of Brasil[]Personality and traits[]
Characteristic of most Gamme Company SPARTAN-IIIs, Jack-G068 is an aggressive combatant, a trait both of his his brothers also share. Because of this, the three can often be seen sticking close together on the battlefield in a concentrated "ball of death." Somewhat ironically, Jack's preferred main weapon is an M395B designated marksman rifle, but this is to allow him effectively engage enemies that are both near and far. Jack, however, was much more cautious in his early years of training, and his combat aggression only surfaced when he entered the artificially-induced puberty. Like Dom-094, Jack-G068 lacked self-confidence as a trainee, always performing below the levels of his older brothers in physical training exercises. Jack often lamented the fact that he was physically inferior to his brothers, not realizing that it was just because they were older and could pick up things more quickly. However, Jack has always had very high expectations of himself when it comes to the more mentally-inclined fields of military, making sure he can execute such tasks to the best of his ability and he particularly excelled in the academic classes that came with the SPARTAN-III training. Jack shares a very close sibling bond with his brothers, and the three are seen as inseparable. Jack-G068 is of Chinese/Taiwanese descent and keeps his hair close-cropped and his face clean-shaven. He and his two brothers have always been physically smaller than most of their fellow SPARTAN-IIIs of the Gamma Company and their smaller physical sizes were especially noticeable during their training at Camp Currahee on Onyx. Jack himself only stood at 160 cm (5'3") at the chronological age of 11 and "biological/physical age" of 14 prior to the augmentation procedures. The augmentation procedures granted him a substantial growth spurt and now as a fully-grown adult Spartan, he is 193 cm (6'4") and weighs 95 kg (208 lb.) out of armor; Jack remains at a smaller stature for a Spartan, but not to a particularly substantial degree. Equipment[]
As with all SPARTAN-IIIs of the Gamma Company, Jack wore SPI Mk II armor. Following the Human-Covenant War, Jack was offered to be given a set of MJOLNIR GEN2 armor; obviously accepting the massive upgrade, Jack customized his armor to have a Scout helmet helmet, Pathfinder body armor, an Infiltrator left pauldron, a CIO right pauldron, XV-27 Shifting forearm armor, and XG-89 Narrow leg armor. After the Requiem Campaign, when the UNSC recovered relatively large amounts of Forerunner technology, Jack replaced his leg armor with that of FOTUS. Once the UNSC reverse-engineered Forerunner technology in larger quantities, Jack replaced his armor neck-down with the Reaper variant of MJOLNIR GEN2 with Grim patterning, making it by far the most advanced suit he has worn to date.
As of the year 2558, Jack’s preferred set of weapons consists of an M395B, an M45D, both of which are loaded with hard light ammunition, and a customized M6I/U that is fitted with a smart scope and a tactical light. List of appearances[]
