Fireteam Jackknife

Fireteam Jackknife is a team of SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers of the Spartan branch.

History
In March 5, 2558, Fireteam Jackknife, along with Fireteam Bailey and Paul Demarco of Fireteam Majestic, were assigned to escort and provide security for Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood and the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam, on a diplomatic mission to Ealen IV. While Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the Jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus, the Covenant remnant attacked the delegates. Commander Palmer ordered Jackknife to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. When their evacuation ship was destroyed, they proceeded to escort the delegates to a nearby parts depot.

As the party attempted to escape the storage depot, Spartan Naiya Ray stayed with Captain Thomas Lasky to reestablish communications with the while Scruggs and the rest of Jackknife were tasked with the safety of Lydus and his Jiralhanae bodyguards. Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant Lich. After a short skirmish with the Covenant leading to the destruction of the Lich, Jackknife and the Sangheili guards and the Jiralhanae guards left the delegates to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter. As the party arrived at the redoubt, Scruggs killed his team and the bodyguards.

Scruggs ambushed the delegates and held Admiral Hood hostage, using him as a shield. Palmer was surprised, stating he was a Spartan, he responded saying he's fighting for something else. Palmer then fought Scruggs, resulting in Scruggs' death when Palmer stabbed him in the throat. Meanwhile, Ray managed to destroy the jammer's reactor and inform Infinity about the attack. By the time the battle ended, Ray was the only survivor of Fireteam Jackknife.
