Biography

{{{1}}}

Before joining the UNSC, Captain Cutter earned respect for standing up to terrorists in the Epsilon Indi system. Over time, he became the captain of the Spirit of Fire, and is known to walk the ship at night to check on the crew. He is so well respected that coffee houses give him free coffee beans to take with him on long trips.[5] Before the Harvest campaign, Cutter was offered command of the Destroyer UNSC Prophecy, though he turned it down. Cutter has both a wife and a daughter, both of whom live on Reach. Like all soldiers, he hopes to see his loved ones after the war ends.[6]

With the outbreak of war with the Covenant, Cutter was handpicked by Admiral Preston Cole to command the Spirit of Fire in her new role as center of repair, supply, and forward deployment operations for Battlegroup D. Cutter participated in the Second Battle of Harvest in 2531.[7] He developed a close relationship with the ship's AI, Serina, but was suspicious as to the presence of Professor Anders, suspecting that there was more to her than met the eye.[8] After making a log on the "five years of hell" that led to the reclamation of the planet[9], Cutter and his ship still remained within the system, Cutter believing that although Harvest had been reclaimed by the UNSC, it was unlikely that the Covenant would simply back down. His belief was vindicated in a sense, considering that Sergeant Forge alerted Cutter that the Covenant had uncovered something in the planet's northern polar region, with Professor Anders giving further proof of this claim. Cutter thus ordered that Alpha Base be brought online and the site be taken.[10] In the aftermath of the Harvest 'field trip', Cutter's level of trust towards Anders increased, impressed by the bravery she'd demonstrated down on the planet.[8]
