I recall that several years ago this exact page was made and it was removed because there wasn't deemed to have enough evidence that it was the same Field Marshal, or much information about the character at all. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 13:32, 28 November 2015 (EST)

I think you're right. We don't really know if it's the same character. Imrane-117 (talk) 16:42, 25 December 2015 (EST)
Same. Alertfiend - Team Chief 17:01, 25 December 2015 (EST)

While it may very well not be the same Field Marshal, we have to assume the point that they made a Field Marshal appear in the beggining of the game, then kill Kat, then send his Zealots to kill Emile cannot be a pure coincidence just because they never explicitly said so. Why throw a Field Marshal through the game, make it a "big deal" that he was responsible for two deaths of your teammates (as well as trying to kill you in the first playable level) if they did not intended the Field Marshal seen through the game was one individual.

Besides, it was mentioned in Halo: Reach's Legendary Commentary that the Field Marshal who killed Kat was said to be "after something that they know," which hints that it is possibly the same Field Marshal that attacked Noble in the first mission and then maybe the penultimate.

"Some Field Marshals lead small strike teams comprised of Zealots for operations that require both skill and precision. These operations are generally intended to search for and retrieve artifacts of value to their religion, or to eliminate targets to turn the tide of battles"
We are already aware the he or they were after something, most likely the Forerunner objects that Rho 'Barutamee was after, we still have no confirmation on that it is the same, remember there were two Supreme commanders at Reach, it would not be crazy to think they only had one Field Marshal between them.

But we must remember the first Field Marshal never died, and since his work was on ground, he most likely wasn't gone alongside Rho (and we most also remember that Rho's command was passed to Kantar 'Utaralee, so it's pretty possible the Field Marshal started working for him). Also, as I stated, the developers say "THE Zealot Commander, as opposed to "a Zealot Commander", further implying it was THE same one we met before. And we must also remember, from the narrative standpoint, him being the same would make the more sense.

Even if that isn't confirmation someone should ask Grim about this somewhere. The page should stay until we hear his response about it. Draft227 21:14, 25 December 2015 (EST)
