Li was a genetically, intellectually, and physically gifted child chosen for the [[SPARTAN-II]] project. He was abducted by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and replaced with a [[flash clone]] when he was around six years old. He and seventy-five other children were taken to [[Reach]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]]. There, he was trained by the [[dumb AI|"dumb" AI]], [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]], with the two serving as the Spartans' teacher and drill instructor, respectively. In [[2519]], he was taken alongside his fellow trainees to a [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] for a mission that required each trainee to be left alone in the woods with a only a single piece of a map. It was up to them to find one another so that they could piece the map together and locate the designated extraction point. The mission was ultimately a success. At another point during training, Li and the others traveled to [[Emerald Cove]] for an underwater mission. There, they abandoned Mendez and lived on their own on an island for a few days. By [[2523#July|July 14, 2523]], Li and his fellow Spartan-IIs had begun facing the formidable and ruthless [[UNSC Marine Corps]]' [[Tango Company]] in simulated [[War Games|war games]]. On [[2525#March|March 9, 2525]], Li and the rest of the Spartan-II candidates underwent their [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentation procedures]] at [[Medical Facility Endurance]] orbiting Reach. After successfully enduring the procedures, Li later attended a military funeral aboard the [[carrier]], the {{UNSCship|Atlas}}, in the [[Lambda Serpentis system]] for the Spartans who died during the process. Afterwards, they all returned to Reach for their final training phase in the [[Highland Mountains]]. | |||
Li- | After the [[Covenant]] [[First Battle of Harvest|attack]] on [[Harvest]] and the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]], Li and the rest of the Spartan-IIs were brought to the [[Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex]], where [[Rear Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] and the AI, [[Beowulf]], briefed them on the emerging Covenant threat. In response, the training of Li and the rest of the Spartan-IIs was accelerated, and the Spartans were sent to [[Chi Ceti IV]] in the [[Chi Ceti system]] to receive their new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] from the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] in order to aid in combat against the alien threat.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 121'' (2010)</ref> While en route to Chi Ceti IV aboard the {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}, the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}, they were [[Battle of Chi Ceti|attacked]] by the Covenant [[warship]], ''[[Unrelenting]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 127'' (2010)</ref> The ''Commonwealth'' was able to ward off the ''Unrelenting'' and the Spartans were deployed to Chi Ceti IV with Halsey, where they each recieved a set of armor.<ref name="for141">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 141'' (2010)</ref> While the Spartans were returning to the ''Commonwealth'', the ''Unrelenting'' returned and engaged the frigate. To provide aid to the ''Commonwealth'', John had Li and the other Spartan-IIs use [[thruster pack]]s to embark towards the ''Unrelenting'' so that they could destroy the warship with [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|Anvil-II AS missiles]], though only John, Kelly, and Sam made it aboard.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 147-150'' (2010)</ref> At some point, Li trained extensively with microgravity equipment and in [[martial arts]] at the [[UNSC]]'s extreme-conditions facility on [[Chiron]] inorbit around [[Mars]].<ref>''Halo: First Strike'', page 219</ref> | ||

While they were repairing the conduit, a stray plasma bolt from an enemy ship moved toward the piggybacked vessels. Li opened fire a group of approaching [[Sangheili]] whose position had been revealed by the light emitted by the bolt. The bolt then struck ''Ascendant Justice'', causing Li, Anton, and Polaski to disappear in a bright light. John later listed Li and Anton as [[missing in action]] in accordance with [[ONI Directive 930]].<ref>''Halo: First Strike'', page 223</ref> | While they were repairing the conduit, a stray plasma bolt from an enemy ship moved toward the piggybacked vessels.
