- "But you let him live. Because you're not only a Spartan, you're the best kind. The kind with the potential to save us all. You may be a Spartan, but you're goddamn human, too, and that's something you should be proud of."
- — Musa Ghanem to Edward Buck, commemorating him for sparing Michael Crespo[5]
Edward Malcolm Buck[6] (service number 92458-37017-EB) is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier who served with the UNSC Marine Corps throughout the Human-Covenant War, the last years of which he spent as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.[7]
Counting time spent in cryo-sleep, Buck was a 25-year veteran of the Covenant War and served in numerous battles. Regarded as an extremely skilled Marine, by the Battle for Earth, he was the leader of a small specialized fireteam, Alpha-Nine, which was appropriated by Captain Veronica Dare for a classified ONI mission before the drop on New Mombasa, Kenya in October 20, 2552. Following the war, Buck was promoted to SPARTAN-IV and eventually joined Fireteam Osiris, led by Jameson Locke.[8] By August of 2558, he had completed 188 military operations, including 49 full campaigns. With the onset of the Created conflict, Buck left Osiris, reformed Alpha-Nine and married Dare, his long-term girlfriend.[9]
