Private Chips Dubbo[2] is a UNSC Marine. He has fought through several battles and returned alive from two discovered Halo installations, and has fought alongside John-117 numerous times. He is characterized by his distinctive Australian accent, unmistakable remarks, gung-ho enthusiasm and laid-back attitude.
Biography[edit]
Chips Dubbo was present at Reach when it fell on the 30th of August 2552. He was stationed on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn towards the end of the battle, and was on-board the ship as it fled into slipspace, unknowingly bound for Installation 04.
Battle of Installation 04[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Installation 04
- "Sir! The Captain needs you on the bridge, ASAP! You better follow me."
- — Dubbo to John-117 onboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.
On September 19, he was listed as a member of Marine Security Detail B on Bravo Shift on Pillar of Autumn's duty roster.[3]
Almost immediately upon exiting slipspace, the Autumn came under attack from pursuing Covenant ships, and was soon boarded. The ship's Marine complement, Dubbo included, immediately set to work repelling the boarders. While engaging Covenant forces in a corridor nearby the bridge, Dubbo met an unarmed John-117 heading for the bridge. Dubbo escorted the Chief the rest of the way, remarking that the Captain wanted him there as soon as possible.[4] He survived the destruction of the Autumn, along with most of the other Marines, via an escape pod. Dubbo met the Master Chief on Halo again when his squad was under attack by Covenant forces. The Chief defended his squad until the Pelican Echo 419 came to evacuate the Marines.[5]
Dubbo later took part in a mission to rescue Captain Keyes, who had been captured by the Covenant, from the Ket-pattern battlecruiser Truth and Reconciliation. During their escape, he can be heard in the Covenant dropship, complimenting Keyes when he successfully rammed two Hunters with their stolen Spirit.[6]
Dubbo was ultimately one of the few survivors of the ring's destruction, however, the method of his survival is unknown, as he was not on-board John-117's Longsword or Shiela Polaski's Pelican, the only two known UNSC craft to escape.
Battle for Earth[edit]

- "Hey, check it out! The Malta's already driven off its boarders!"
- — Dubbo, moments before Malta Station's destruction.
By October 20, Dubbo was present on Earth's Cairo Station.[7] Early in the Battle of Earth, Dubbo aided Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 in defending the station from Covenant boarding parties, at one point observing that the nearby orbital defense platform Malta Station had almost instantly repulsed it's attackers. Dubbo's observation was immediately followed up by the station's instant destruction by a large explosion from within. After driving off another wave of attackers, the prior scene repeated itself as Athens Station befell the same fate. Dubbo continued to defend the hangar bays as John-117 was tasked with locating a Covenant Bomb aboard the Cairo.
Battle of Installation 05[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Installation 05
- "Oh man, he's so dead."
- — Dubbo, en route to assassinate Regret, commenting on the Prophet's vow to eliminate humanity.
Arriving at Installation 05 on board the UNSC In Amber Clad on November 2, Dubbo was among the first wave of ODSTs dropped onto Installation 05 as part of the 7th ODST Battalion. Along with Gunnery Sergeant Stacker, Sergeant Banks and several Marines from First Platoon, Dubbo supported John-117 as he made his way through Covenant-held ruins on his way to the Prophet of Regret's temple.[8][9] When Sergeant Johnson and most of First Platoon were pulled out and reassigned to a mission to retrieve the index,[10] Dubbo remained with the Spartan on a mission to assassinate the Prophet.[9] Dubbo and another Marine accompanied John-117 through a series of Covenant-held structures, at one point coming across a holographic projection of Regret as he vowed to drive Humanity to extinction. As the trio entered Regret's temple however, High Charity and its fleet exited slipspace above the Ring, and shortly after John-117 killed the Prophet, the Temple was Glassed by arriving Covenant ships.

Dubbo partook in the late stages of the Battle for Earth. Stationed in the UNSC base Crow's Nest, Dubbo was present when it was attacked by the Covenant, assisting the Chief in clearing hostile forces from the base's south hangar, and was evacuated after the fight.[11] Dubbo took part in the UNSC attack on Voi, punching throug
