- "Naming my sword? No, only great heroes or great villains name their swords, and right now I couldn't tell you which one I am."
- ― Logan speaking to Justin-057
SPARTAN-G081, Logan, was a UNSC SPARTAN-III who fought in the Human-Covenant War and the Saulosian campaign. He is a member of Bravo Team.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
- "No, I don't remember my life before becoming a SPARTAN. And I don't want to. This is everything I could have ever wanted to do."
- ― Logan, speaking with a curious Marine
Logan was born on the planet of Harmony in 2534. Like many of the Spartans, he soon developed a detachment from his former life which one ONI observer described as "almost a type of Stockholm syndrome". The only fact about is past life that Logan cared about was his being born on Harmony. One of his fellow Spartans once said that the way to make sure Harmony was never harmed would be to "put Logan there on permanent garrison". When the planet was destroyed in 2552, Logan was crushed, even to the point of completely repainting his armor overnight.
- "We were stationed on [deleted] for a harassment op when we heard about Harmony. I woke up in the middle of the night to see Logan applying a new pattern to his armor. I fell back asleep thinking I was still dreaming, but when I woke up he'd repainted it this red-orange. He said it was the color of vengeance."
- ― Justin-057

Human-Covenant War[]
- "Our very first mission, and ninety percent of the battle group is dead. They weren't joking about how the war was going."
- ― Logan during his debrief after the Battle of Tribute
Logan and Bravo Team finished training at the climax of the Human-Covenant War. Almost immediately after finishing training, Bravo was deployed to aid the evacuation of the colonists on the colony of Tribute. Despite the heavy losses suffered by most of the battle group, Bravo escaped the destruction with minor injuries. Logan suffered some plasma burns that put him out of action for a few weeks. Bravo was rotated to the Jovian Moons for an anti-terror mission in September of 2552, but their mission was put on hold when Earth was attacked. Bravo was present during the Battle of Mombasa and was extracted under heavy enemy fire by Army Pelicans. Bravo was then dispatched to various areas over the next few days as an aid to beleaguered Marines and militia troops.
- "I remember dropping into one little African town, some suburb outside of Nairobi. The militia and Marines had been fighting off Covenant advances for almost a day, and half of them looked almost dead. When we dropped in, they all started clapping."
- ― Logan, discussing Bravo's role in the Battle of Earth
Soon after this, Bravo was dispatched to [deleted] for a harassment operation against nearby Covenant forces. During this operation, Harmony was attacked and glassed by the Covenant. Logan was devastated by the news and made the aforementioned changes to his armor.
- "The day after Logan repainted his armor, we raided a Covie ammo dump. He hadn't let it really show yet how badly he was hurt, but he sure let us know with his action. He probably killed more Covenant that day than any of us did the rest of the mission. I actually saw him tear the Spiker out of a Brute's hands and empty the mag into its gut."
- ― Viggo-G132, discussing Logan's personality change after learning of Harmony's fall
About a week later, Logan returned to Earth alone. He told the rest of Bravo that he was going to turn some items recovered after the raid over to ONI. While he did indeed do this, the true goal of his excursion was to track down and eliminate the ONI agents who had decided that Harmony was to be sacrificed to protect Earth. With his last kill of agent Jiro Hideyori, Logan acquired his trademark katana.
Interim[]
- "When we heard about what the Chief had done, that the war was over, most of the team was ecstatic. But not Logan. He simply looked off into the distance and said, 'It's not over. It never will be, not for us.' And he was right."
- ― Elijah-G237
With the end of the Human-Covenant War, the majority of the UNSC military was reassigned to rebuilding and patrol on the few remaining colonies. Cruisers were converted into transports for refugees overnight, and even ODSTs could be seen handing out aid packages in refugee camps. The Spartans, however, did not have the same luxuries. Bravo was immediately reassigned to raids on still-standing Insurrectionist bases and Covenant holdouts.
Operation:QUAGMIRE[]
In 2554, the Insurrection had begun to pick up momentum once more. A weakened UNSC, surrounded by remnants of the Covenant all looking for a sign of weakness, looked to its Spartans to keep the rebels in check. Operation:QUAGMIRE had Bravo assigned to Levosia to eliminate a suspected rebel munitions camp. During the operation, Logan was nearly killed by a grenade after leaping on it to save the rest of Bravo, for which he was awarded a Gold Star and his fourth Purple Heart.
Operation:GREENER GRASS[]
QUAGMIRE had had a significant impact on the resurgence of the Insurrection. With the rebels sitting back and licking their wounds, the UNSC took the brief respite and used it to begin a recolonization program. Naval ships were sent out in order to scout current UNSC territory for as-of-yet uncolonized planets, or to reestablish contact with worlds whose fate was still unknown. Bravo was dispatched with the frigate Feathered Wings to the 81 Djinn System to establish contact with several colonies that had gone silent during the war. Out of the five colonies in the system, three had been glassed and two were still held by the UNSC. However, on Djinn IV, the Marines of the Feathered Wings and Bravo had to battle a number of Loyalists, mostly Brutes, who had been harassing the colony's capital from a base in the lowlands. In conjunction with the small militia contingent, the reinforcements destroyed the Loyalists and returned to Earth, another victory under their belts.
Operation:FOOLSHOPE[]
Zeal of Damnation[]
Soon after the Human-Covenant War, a group known as the Blood Covenant, a fundamentalist splinter of the original Covenant, attacked the UNSC colony of Agrabah. Logan was separately assigned to the reinforcing group and fought in the battle to defend Agrabah, as well as on the Zeta Shield World.
Saulosian Campaign[]
Equipment[]
Logan's preferred weapon is the SRS102B. However, after the destruction of Harmony, he stepped outside his usual long-distance ethos and acquired a highly non-regulation katana from the apartment of Jiro Hideyori, an ONI agent he killed. The only reason he was allowed to keep it, said another member of Bravo Team, was, "if I'd seen Logan practicing with that thing, I'd've let him keep it too".
Logan trapped under debris, 2557. Note his SRS102 and katana.
Personality[]
- "Logan used to be a really happy-go-lucky, joking guy. But after Harmony fell, he went... hard. He'd still joke around, but he always had this sort of look, like he was somebody who'd looked Death in the eyes and shaken his hand. But then again, we all had."
- ― Elijah-G237
