[[Commander]] '''Jerome-092''',<ref name="knowscope">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/know-scope '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Know-Scope'']</ref> born '''Jerome Cable''', is a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II supersoldier]] of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] [[UNSC Special Forces|Special Warfare Command]]. In [[2531]], he served as the leader of [[Red Team]] and fought alongside the crew of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.<ref name="HW">'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref><ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 153''</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life and conscription===
Jerome Cable was born on [[2511|May 8, 2511]] to a poor family in the infamous [[Palaikos borderlands]],<ref name="phoenix log">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[Phoenix Log]]: Jerome-092''</ref> an undeveloped portion of the [[human]] [[Inner Colony]] of [[Minister (planet)|Minister]],{{Ref/Reuse|HWJerome}} a tough world that forced him into an early childhood of crime where he also realized his capacity for violence.{{Ref/Reuse|phoenix log}} He was of a genetic make-up that Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] regarded as desirable for the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. After being selected as a suitable candidate for the SPARTAN-II program in [[2517]], he was abducted and sent to [[Reach]], where he was specially trained to be a soldier by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and the [[artificial intelligence]] construct [[Déja]]. Although he initially attempted to escape from his training facilities several times, Jerome soon transformed from a self-centered survivalist to a competent leader, honing the speed and agility that kept him alive back on Minister.{{Ref/Reuse|phoenix log}} Jerome quickly proved himself to be one of the program's top candidates. Both Dr. Halsey and CPO Mendez identified him as one of the four emerging leaders of the group, along with [[Kurt-051]], [[Frederic-104]], and [[John-117]].<ref>''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> 

In [[2525]], he and the other candidates underwent a [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|series of augmentations]] to improve their physical and mental abilities.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach'''</ref> Jerome was one of a number of "washouts" whose bodies initially rejected the augmentations, but he was able to be retrained and re-augmented separately. During the process, he was partnered with fellow augmentation washouts [[Alice-130]] and [[Douglas-042]], with the three being organized into an incarnation of [[Red Team]] with Jerome as a team leader.<ref name="log alice">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]] — Alice-130''</ref>

=== Battle for Arcadia ===
{{Main|Battle for Arcadia}}
[[File:Anderssignal1.png|left|thumb|250px|Captain Cutter, Sergeant Forge, and Jerome-092 discuss how to proceed after Professor Anders' abduction.]]
Jerome was the leader of Spartan [[Red Team]] during the Battle for Arcadia. On [[2531#February|February 9, 2531]], Jerome and Red Team were tasked with stopping the [[Covenant]] long enough to evacuate the civilians of [[Arcadia|the planet]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> Afterward, he and Red Team linked up with forces from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and assisted in a counterattack on a Covenant outpost.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia Outskirts]]''</ref> Once the plan to infiltrate a large Covenant [[Energy shielding#Covenant|shield dome]] was passed down from [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[James Cutter]], he and Red Team remained with the crew to assist with the assignment. He helped prevent the destruction of several prototype [[M145D Rhino]]s while the tanks ensured that the shield was destroyed.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref> After [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]]'s forces triumphed over a [[R'awuw-pattern Scarab|Scarab]], Jerome, [[Douglas-042]], and [[Alice-130]] searched for Covenant survivors in the jungles on an [[M12 Warthog]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref> Upon hearing that [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] had been abducted by [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], Forge and Red Team boarded ''Spirit of Fire'', which jumped into slipspace in pursuit of the Covenant ship carrying Anders.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref name="signal">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref>

=== The Etran Harborage ===
[[File:HW7.png|thumb|250px|Jerome-092 fighting on the Apex.]]
{{Main|Battle of the Etran Harborage}}
{{Quote|Good luck, sir. It's been an honor.|Jerome-092 to [[John Forge]].{{Ref/Reuse|Escape}}}}

After Jerome recommended destroying 'Moramee's ship and killing Anders rather than let classified information fall into Covenant hands, Forge confronted the Spartan. The altercation resulted in a broken chair, a seal malfunction on a bulkhead, and a stern interruption from [[Serina]]. From then on, Forge and Jerome always ate together in the mess hall.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events]]'''</ref>{{Ref/Note|The in-game timeline states that Douglas-042 made the suggestion to destroy 'Moramee's vessel, that he fought Sergeant Forge over the suggestions, and that the two later bonded over meals. However, Red Team's leader, Jerome-092, clearly makes the suggestion in the game proper. Jerome is also the only Spartan seen to interact directly with Forge during the campaign. More importantly, Forge takes Jerome's place in the suicidal attempt to destroy the shield world's star, suggesting the camaraderie said to have developed between Forge and the Spartan in question.}}

Upon arriving at [[Trove]] on February 23, Jerome assisted the ''Spirit of Fire's'' crew in neutralizing Covenant and [[Flood]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|signal}} Once Jerome assisted in destroying a [[proto-Gravemind]],<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[The Flood (level)|The Flood]]''</ref> he and Red Team became stranded on the surface of the [[shield world]]. With the ''Spirit of Fire'' being dragged inside the megastructure, Red Team was assisted by Sergeant Forge and his forces and successfully withdrew to the ship.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]''</ref> Red Team then assisted the crew in scouring the Flood forces from the hull of the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Cleansing]]''</ref> Soon, the crew repelled Covenant boarders and successfully repaired the ship's power core when after it was damaged by Covenant forces.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Repairs]]''</ref>

Once Anders was rescued, Jerome was tasked with ensuring that the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]] arrived at the [[teleporter]] that would take it to the [[Apex Site]] in an attempt to destroy the shield world's sun, denying the Covenant access to a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner starship|Forerunner warships]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor]]''</ref> Atop the Apex Site, Jerome, Alice and Douglas engaged a large force of [[Stealth Sangheili]] while Forge engaged 'Moramee. Once the area was clear, Jerome volunteered to take the damaged drive in and ensure its detonation. Forge, believing that the SPARTANs would play a bigger part in the war than he ever could, took his place. Jerome, Douglas, Alice, and the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew were then charged with opening the gate which allowed the ''Spirit of Fire'' to exit the shield world.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref name="Escape">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]''</ref> Red Team returned to the ''Spirit of Fire'' before slipspace drive detonated and, after the ''Spirit of Fire'' escaped the destruction of the shield world, Jerome, as with the rest of the crew, entered [[Cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]]. The loss of contact prompted the UNSC to conduct a search of the vessel for the next three years, and eventually, in [[2534]], declared the ''Spirit of Fire'' "lost with all hands". Thus, Jerome was declared [[MIA]].

On January 1, [[2537]], six years after the events on the Etran Harborage, a Flood outbreak was initiated aboard the ''Spirit of Fire'' by a [[Pod infector]] that had managed to remain hidden aboard the ship. As the Flood threatened to breach quarantine, Serina awoke Jerome, who, with the aid of Professor Ellen Anders, was forced to exterminate all infected crew members, ensuring the survival of the ''Spirit'' and its remaining crew. After all traces of the Flood parasite aboard the ''Spirit of Fire'' were erased, Jerome returned to cryo-sleep.<ref name="SHH">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''', ''[[Something Has Happened]]''</ref>

===The Ark===
[[File:HW2-Jerome&Isabel-01.jpg|thumb|250px|Jerome encounters Isabel.]]
{{Main|Second Ark Conflict}}
{{Quote|no=three|q1=Do we have a plan?|Alice|q2=We do. Jerome to ''Spirit of Fire'' Actual...Sir. Requesting danger close. On  our location, trailing north. Commence five seconds.|Jerome|q3=Interesting plan.|Alice|Alice and Jerome about their tactics<ref name="TS">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Signal]]''</ref>}}
In [[2559]], after 28 years of drifting in space, the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' found its way to the orbit of the Forerunner [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark. Awakened from the cryo-sleep, Jerome and the rest of Red Team were tasked with investigating a UNSC distress signal coming from the surface of the Ark. There, inside the abandoned UNSC [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost|outpost]] they encountered [[Isabel]], a logistics [[AI]], who warned the Spartans about a grave danger.<ref name="gamestop">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-wars-2-new-character-images-and-details-revea/1100-6442098/?ftag=GSS-05-10aaa0b '''Gamestop''': ''Halo Wars 2: New Character Images and Details Revealed'']</ref> Jerome extracted Isabel and Red Team continued investigating the outpost. However, they were soon ambushed by the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord [[Atriox]], the leader of a mercenary organization known as the [[Banished]]: Atriox defeated the Spartans, severely wounding Douglas by crushing his left shoulder. Red Team was forced to retreat, and Atriox ordered his troops to hunt them down and capture them, in order to learn where they came from. It was not long before the team was in a [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]] and being pursued by [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]]s. In order to escape the pursuers, Jerome requested an [[orbital bombardment]] from the ''Spirit of Fire'' on their location. Reaching the [[landing zone]], Alice decided to stay back and provide cover for Jerome and Douglas' safe evacuation to the ''Spirit''.{{Ref/Reuse|TS}}

[[File:HW2-Isabel&Co-02.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Cpt. Cutter and Jerome briefed by Isabel.]]
Aboard ''Spirit of Fire'' Jerome and Cpt. Cutter were briefed by Isabel on events that had occurred on the Ark, as well as on strength of their enemy.{{Ref/Reuse|TS}} Soon after, Jerome was tasked with running an assault on Banished [[Salvaging|salvage]] operations. [[Strike One]], a unit of eight Marines led by Jerome, cut through enemy lines, capturing and destroying the Banished bases on their way while evading bombardment by the [[energy projector]] of the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', the Banished's {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}. Their main target was [[Decimus]], Atriox's right hand, who led the salvage operation. Once cornered, Decimus managed to escape via [[Teleportation grid|portal network]]. In the ruins of Decimus' base Strike One recovered an encrypted piece of data, which pointed to the Ark's [[Cartographer]].<ref name="A New Enemy">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[A New Enemy]]''</ref> After that Jerome led a small, experienced unit of Marines on a mission to capture and access Forerunner [[Control Tower]]s so that Anders could activate the Cartographer's [[elevator]]. On their way they discovered that the Ark's [[Aggressor Sentinel|Sentinels]] were not fond of Banished presence and destroyed their mining equipment. After eliminating all Banished forces around the Control Towers and capturing them, Anders was able to gain access to the elevator and transport the Marines up to the Cartographer.<ref name="Ascension">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Ascension (Halo Wars 2 level)|Ascension]]''</ref> After reaching the Cartographer, the UNSC forces discovered an energy shield was preventing them from accessing the central chamber and the map room. Moving up, Jerome and the Marines attempted to take down the shield. Before they could, however, the Ark's self-preservation protocol sent sentinels, forcing the Marines to retreat. Fortunately for the UNSC, [[EMP]] devices were launched down from the ''Spirit of Fire'' onto the Sentinels, successfully neutralizing them and allowing Jerome and the Marines to disable all of the conduits powering the shield. Accessing the Cartographer's data, Anders discovered that the Banished were using the Ark's network of thousands of portals to move around and reported her findings to Captain Cutter.<ref name="The Cartographer">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Cartographer]]''</ref> Intending to cripple the Banished's portal network and strand most of their forces, Cutter deployed Jerome and a handful of the Marines near the network's control hub with orders to destroy it. As they advanced on the hub, the Marines destroyed portals along the way to prevent being overrun and discovered that the control hub was guarded by Decimus. On this mission Jerome was joined by Douglas, who had just recovered from his injuries, and together they successfully terminated Decimus and destroyed the device. Once the unit was informed that the ''Spirit of Fire'' was under attack, they had to return to the ship immediately.<ref name="Lights Out">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Lights Out]]''</ref>

[[File:HW2-Jerome-05.jpg|thumb|250px|Jerome storming the ''Enduring Conviction''.]]
Soon after Red Team participated in a mission developed by Isabel to destroy the enemy's flagship, ''Enduring Conviction''. According to the plan, Douglas and his team had to capture a Forerunner [[particle cannon]], which the UNSC would use against the carrier, immobilizing it and disabling its shields, allowing Jerome and Isabel to infiltrate the carrier through its [[gravity lift]] while Alice and her artillery units cleared out a Banished base around the lift.<ref name="Hold the Line">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Hold the Line]]''</ref> However, en route to their destination, Jerome's Pelican was shot down. Jerome and Isabel managed to survive the crash and soon they rendezvoused with a [[sniper]] team led by Sgt. [[Allieri]]. Reaching the Banished base below the carrier, Jerome noted that the grav-lift was guarded by the anti-air turrets and requested Alice's assistance in dealing with them. Alice positioned her [[Kodiak]]s on the edge of the cliff near the platform and ordered them to fire on the Banished ordnance. Once the particle cannon finally managed to break through the ''Enduring Conviction's'' shields, Jerome was notified that he was clear to board and all remaining UNSC personnel underneath the carrier were extracted immediately.<ref name="Under The Dark">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Under The Dark]]''</ref> Arriving inside the carrier, Jerome made short work of the [[Sangheili]] in the area before inserting Isabel into a nearby [[holotank]], allowing her to access the vessel's firing systems. Once Isabel managed to fire its [[ventral beam]] on the surface of the Ark, the installation's sentinels, in a desperate attempt to stop the destruction, launched themselves at the weakest part of the carrier. As the sentinels cut away at the vessel, Jerome held off Jiralhanae reinforcements, protecting Isabel. With the sentinels having done enough destruction to the carrier, the energy projector shut down and the front section of the vessel began to separate. Retrieving Isabel from the holotank, Jerome proceeded to jump out of the newly-formed opening, dodging debris as he descended toward the Ark's surface.{{Ref/Reuse|Under The Dark}}

[[File:HW2-Jerome-03.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Jerome on the surface of [[Installation 09]].]]
Once the ''Enduring Conviction'' had been destroyed and a [[Installation 09|new Halo ring]] emerged from the Ark's [[Foundry (location)|Foundry]], Jerome was ordered to lead an offensive operation against the Banished on the Halo in order to beat them to the [[control room]]. Jerome was joined by Douglas and Alice, who just prevented the arrival of additional Banished reinforcements.<ref name="The Foundry">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Foundry]]''</ref> A reunited Red Team led Marine forces to [[Alpha Base (Installation 09)|Alpha Base]] and defeated the Banished forces there. As the battle proceeded, a [[Retriever Sentinel]] suddenly appeared, wreaking havoc on the UNSC forces before the Marines could send it into retreat. After Red Team secured three Control Towers, Prof. [[Ellen Anders]] managed to take control of the massive sentinel and use its main weapon to gain access to the control room.<ref name="The Halo">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Halo]]''</ref> As the professor descended to the control room, the Spartans and Marines stayed behind to defend the structure. With support from the ''Spirit of Fire'', Red Team and Marines held back heavy Banished reinforcements long enough for Anders to disable the Halo's weapons systems and plant a [[distress beacon]] to the UNSC. After the Banished forces on the ring had been dealt with, Red Team evacuated to the ''Spirit of Fire'' immediately before the Halo entered slipspace and departed for the [[Soell system]].<ref name="Last Stand">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]]''</ref>

Jerome continued to serve during the ''Spirit of Fire'' crew's ongoing fight against the Banished. At Isabel's insistence to better align the ship's impromptu command structure with the regulations of the UNSC at large, Jerome, then a senior chief petty officer like his teammates, was conferred the acting rank of commander by Captain Cutter.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}}

In October, Jerome and the rest of Red Team performed a successful search and rescue mission for the surviving [[Ferret]]s following the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]].{{Ref/Novel|DW}}

==Personality and traits==
Jerome is regarded as an inspirational and highly competent leader. However, some aspects of his Spartan-II conditioning are in conflict with his strategic instincts, one of those being a preference for direct action.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}}

{{Expand-section}}

==Equipment==
Like the other members of Red Team, Jerome-092 is equipped with the [[Mark IV]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. Jerome's armor is emblazoned with red markings and an emblem of a [[Wikipedia:Corinthian helmet|Corinthian helmet]], known for its use by the ancient Greek [[Wikipedia:Sparta|Sparta]]ns, on his right shoulder pauldron. Jerome would frequently use a [[M6 Spartan Laser]]{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}<ref name="HW2">'''Halo Wars 2'''</ref> and [[M90 shotgun]]{{Ref/Reuse|Escape}} in battle, with a [[M6C magnum]] as a sidearm.{{Ref/Reuse|Under The Dark}} Over the course of the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], Jerome, Alice and Douglas, began receiving eclectic custom upgrades to their armor from various sources, resulting in all-new, unique permutations built for the requirements of each Spartan.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)'']</ref> Following his promotion to commander, Jerome began using a custom [[MLRS-1 Hydra]] missile launcher and had a personalized backpack module added to his armor. He also operates a custom [[Command Mantis|command variant]] of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantis]] walker, nicknamed ''[[Theseus]]''. Exclusively keyed to Jerome's [[neural interface]] and fitted to complement his [[Biological augmentation|augmented physiology]] and leadership style, ''Theseus'' functions as his mobile command post. It features a command-and-control nexus relay from the ''Spirit of Fire'' to enhance Jerome's situational awareness in the field, and is able to function as a backup for the UNSC battlenet in the event the ship is damaged or destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|knowscope}}

==Production notes==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gameplay=yes}}
*In ''Halo Wars'', Jerome was portrayed by [[Wikipedia: Crispin Freeman|Crispin Freeman]] in-game and [[Gideon Emery]] in cutscenes.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0879404/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast '''IMDB''': ''Halo Wars'']</ref> In ''Halo Wars 2'', Jerome was portrayed by [[Wikipedia:Mark Deklin|Mark Deklin]] and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3896080/ Nik Doner].{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}
*Jerome-092's name was inspired by the campaign lead of ''Halo Wars'', [[Ensemble Studios]]' [[Jerome K. Jones]].<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3172311 '''1up.com:''' ''Ten Things You Didn't Know About Halo Wars'']</ref>
*Some of the painted designs and decals on Jerome's armor vary between ''Halo Wars'' and ''Halo Wars 2''. In ''Halo Wars'', the red stripe on his right breastplate runs (from his perspective) diagonally from bottom right to top left, toward his chin. In ''Halo Wars 2'', the stripe begins at the top-right corner of the breastplate, runs diagonally toward the bottom left, and extends all the way to the abdominal plating. Additionally, Jerome's left breastplate now features the number "092" next to a red diamond. Furthermore, ''Halo Wars'' depicts a faint [[Legendary]] symbol decal on Jerome's left bicep; this is not present in the sequel.
*On [[2017#June|June 28, 2017]], Commander Jerome-092 was added as a leader for ''Halo Wars 2'' multiplayer.

==Notes==
The Anglo-Saxon surname “Cable” and the Lithuanian word “Palaikos” heavily imply Jerome-092 is of Northern European or Nordic heritage.

The in-game timeline states that Douglas-042 made the suggestion to destroy 'Moramee's vessel, that he fought Sergeant Forge over the suggestions, and that the two later bonded over meals. However, Red Team's leader, Jerome-092, clearly makes the suggestion in the game proper. Jerome is also the only Spartan seen to interact directly with Forge during the campaign. More importantly, Forge takes Jerome's place in the suicidal attempt to destroy the shield world's star, suggesting the camaraderie said to have developed between Forge and the Spartan in question.
