Created as part of an attempt to recreate the success of the Spartan-II program through genetic engineering, SPARTAN-000, affectionately known as Zero, is a deadly Spartan. Devised as a test bed for genetic engineering, and raised as a weapon in a sterile environment, Zero is less a person, and more a weapon. Lacking normal social cues and mechanics, she can interact with the world around her as if it was a military affair, and is gradually learning what it is to be human. A pinnacle of human bio-engineering, she possesses combat skills beyond most, and has expertise in infiltration, assassination, and as a saboteur, moving silently through enemy defences to reach, and kill her target, and anyone else in the way.

- ―CODENAME: Cardinal

- ―Elise-070
