Fernando Esparza: "I'm not you. I'm not a pilot. I'm not even a soldier, a marine! I'm a fraud. I stole that Pelican. I stole it! You know why? Of course you don't. Have you ever been scared? So scared that you... I'm worthless. You should leave me here with the rest of the garbage."
John-117: "We all fail. We all make mistakes. It's what makes us human."
Fernando Esparza: "I'm sorry, Chief. But how have you ever failed?"
John-117: "I should have protected Cortana. Stopped everything from going wrong. I failed her. I will not fail you."
— Fernando Esparza's despondent outburst being met with John-117 revealing his failures.[4]

Fernando Esparza, nicknamed Echo 216 after the Pelican with the eponymous designation[5], or simply The Pilot, is a civilian contractor who worked in engineering on the UNSC Infinity.[1][6]

Biography[edit]

Early life[edit]

Fernando Esparza was born on Charybdis IX on May 7, 2518.[1] He has a wife and a young daughter, Iahlee Esparza.[3][Note 1] Esparza and his wife could not decide on their daughter's name until the day she was born.[2]

Battle for Zeta Halo[edit]

Escaping Infinity[edit]

On December 12, 2559, Esparza was onboard UNSC Infinity when it was ambushed by Banished forces upon arrival at Installation 07.[7] Upon hearing that Master Chief John-117 was defeated, Esparza fled for Pelican Echo 216,[6] commandeering the craft and becoming stranded.[1][4]

Finding Master Chief[edit]

Main article: Battle for Zeta Halo

"How long has it been since I met you? Six hours? Maybe seven. It's been... eventful. Six months on my own, surviving... barely. Seems like a dream now. This on the other hand... mostly feels like a nightmare. Mostly."
— Esparza recounts his time at Zeta Halo to John-117.[6]

After being stranded in the dropship for six months, in May 2560,[8] he came across John-117 around the shattered remains of the Halo ring; the Spartan's armor triggered survival mode. Esparza brought John-117 onboard Echo 216 and rerouted the Pelican's power to the Spartan's armor, awakening the Chief. Their introduction was brief, with Esparza revealing to the Master Chief that it's been nearly six months since the initial battle with the Banished over the ring. Then, without warning, Echo 216 was hit by the Ghost of Gbraakon's stasis beam; Esparza began to panic, but the Chief was resolved to fight, leaving the Pelican to infiltrate the warship. While Esparza recharged the Pelican's batteries, the Chief made his way to the dreadnought's bridge to shut down its stasis beam. However, the system was locked down, so the Spartan opted to scuttle the ship instead. Chief and Echo 216 narrowly escaped the dreadnought's destruction; Esparza piloted the dropship to pickup the Spartan shortly afterwards.[3]

Fighting Escharum's Banished[edit]

Esparza then reluctantly followed John-117's instruction to bring the Pelican to the subterranean section at the damaged portion of the ring. There, the Chief jumped out, in search of a UNSC signal.[9] The Spartan eventually emerged from the ring's surface, clearing out the garrison and landing pad at Outpost Tremonius for Echo 216 to land. Initially, Esparza was ecstatic to be on the ground, but was terrified when he was introduced to the Weapon—the source of the UNSC signal—who he mistook as Cortana. After John-117 clarified that Cortana was no longer a threat, to Esparza's dismay, the Weapon directed the two to another UNSC signal coming from a nearby Banished outpost.[10] Esparza piloted Echo 216 to its vicinity, where John-117 launched a one-man assault on the outpost.[11][12] The Chief was then led to a Banished excavation site into the Conservatory, leaving Esparza waiting onboard Echo 216.[13][14] Esparza flew Echo 216 to extract the Chief when his mission led him to the destruction of a Reformation Spire; the Spartan jumped out of the collapsing Spire, forcing Esparza to bring the Pelican to a nosedive to catch the Chief in the Pelican's troop bay.[15]

John-117 and Esparza
John-117 empathizes with Esparza.

While Echo 216 made its way to the next objective, it was shot several times by anti-aircraft cannons, forcing Esparza to make an emergency landing. Esparza was briefly unconscious, but when he came to, panic and disbelief seized him immediately. John-117 attempted to calm him but with little success; instead, he was berated by Esparza for putting them both in their present predicament. The Spartan decided he needed to eliminate the cannons, and instructed Esparza to remain with the Pelican. Doubtful that he would be safe on his own, Esparza protested. Instead, he stated he'd spotted a number of Condors and was determined to check whether any of them retained a working slipspace drive which they could use to flee the system. John-117 agreed to help him with such a search, but only after he'd first dealt with the cannons. Esparza waited at the Pelican as he was instructed, until all three cannons were taken offline. He set out on his own to search the remains of the three Condors, but was distraught to find none had an intact slipspace drive. With the Hand of Atriox deployed nearby, Esparza hid underneath a Condor's floor hatch until the Spartan defeated the Spartan Killers. Reunited, Esparza broke down, revealing he had stolen Echo 216, and called himself worthless in comparison to the Master Chief. The Chief, in turn, revealed he also has made mistakes, citing his failure to protect Cortana and preventing her turn to being the Created's leader. The Chief declared he would not fail Esparza, leaving the latter resolved to support the Spartan.[4]

Esparza then piloted Echo 216 to the Command Spire, dropping off John-117 to access its interior.[6] Later, while en route to pick up the Chief and the Weapon, Esparza was kidnapped by Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai and taken to the House of Reckoning,[16] where he was tortured by War Chief Escharum in order to lure John-117 into a final confrontation.[1][17] John-117 stormed the stronghold, defeating both 'Rdomnai and Escharum, thereby rescuing Esparza. Esparza was shocked when John-117 showed respect to the fallen Escharum, who he called a monster. John-117 replied that, in the end, Escharum was just a soldier who had died hoping that he had done the right thing.[5] They retrieved Echo 216, which Esparza flew to the Silent Auditorium to drop off the Chief to confront the Harbinger.[18]

Post-Harbinger[edit]

Esparza later picked up the Chief and the Weapon three days after the defeat of the Harbinger. He expressed relief upon seeing them, thinking that they'd been killed, and greeted the Chief with a hug. Prompted by the Weapon, Esparza, who had only been known as Echo 216 until then, revealed his real name to the pair. The trio then flew off in their Pelican, ready to defeat the remainder of the Banished on the ring.[18] Esparza flew them to FFG-611, a wrecked Mulsanne-class light frigate he'd found and made a home out of. There, the Chief returned the holorecorder to Esparza who believed that his traumatic experiences were retribution for fleeing from the Infinity when the Banished attacked.[19]

On June 4, Echo 216 combed the debris field for munitions, particularly an Eris tactical nuclear weapon, while playing cat and mouse with Banished patrols. Some of the recovered munitions were stored on the Pelican while the rest were kept on the wrecked frigate. It then delivered the Master Chief and Joy to one of the island fragments to enact their plan to wipe out the Banished's upper echelon Escharum's funeral.[20]

On June 5, Esparza picked the Master Chief up after the successful mission and they followed Joy -- in an Aggressor Sentinel carapace -- as she tracked 'Rdomnai's Phantom to Rdomnai Keep. Echo 216 dropped the Master Chief off at the base of a mountain peak and stayed on station to wait for the Spartan's return.[21] After the Master Chief got outside with Lucas Browning, Joy called Esparza for pickup, but he warned her that Banished were incoming and Esparza wasn't sure how long he could stay once he got there. In response, Joy sent a Sentinel to help him. The Sentinel helped ward off the Banshees, but Echo 216 took a hit to the port side from a freshly arriving Banshee. The Chief jumped into the Pelican with Browning as the Sentinels, at the cost of their own destruction, took down the last Banshee.[22] With the engines having sustained damage, the Chief plugged Joy into Echo 216 who determined that the port fusion drive was inoperable, secondary was at fifty percent and falling and primary stabilizers were down, leaving the Pelican without sixty percent of its thrust capacity. Joy managed to reroute enough for Echo 216 to land in a shadowy fissure on a landmass thirty kilometers away.

With Browning's injuries making changing difficult, Esparza stepped in to help him while the Chief and Joy spent the night conducting repairs. Together, the two managed to get the stabilizer system back online by rerouting power from both secondary engines. While it wouldn't last long, Joy hoped that it would be enough to get the Pelican somewhere safer.[23] As five Banshees closed in on their position, the Master Chief made a stand to free up airspace for Echo 216 to escape, receiving unexpected help from Spartan Tomas Horvath who hijacked the last Banshee. Esparza was amazed to see another Spartan and stayed silent through the conversation that followed.[24]

Horvath subsequently lured eight enemy aircraft away using his captured Banshee, clearing the way for Echo 216 to safely take off.[25] While the engines sounded terrible, Joy was sure that they'd hold and she directed Esparza to take them to Lifeworker Central which was clear of the ring's fracture on its stable segment and close enough for the Pelican to touch down before the stabilizers and engines gave out.[26] Esparza was relieved to be flying away from Banished territory rather than towards it for a change and was surprised to find a very old human settlement. Joy explained to Esparza that humanity was a hundred thousand years older than he knew and humanity's current civilization had simply rediscovered the Halo Array. Esparza landed the Pelican in a clearing three kilometers from Lifeworker Central and reluctantly agreed to accompany the others rather than staying with Echo 216. Passing through the jungle reminded Esparza of his daughter and how many missed opportunities came from his own phobias. Joy told Esparza that Zeta Halo had a long history of human settlements with the people calling themselves the Tudejsa. However, the Flood and some Forerunners' desire to use the Tudejsa in experiments to study the Flood led to a civil war on the ring. Near a building, Esparza noticed human sounds, but Browning warned him that it may not be friendlies as the Banished had humans amongst their ranks. Although Esparza already knew that, the idea of humans working with the Banished was hard for him to wrap his head around.

Leaving Esparza with Browning, the Master Chief left to check it out. Browning told Esparza about how he had encountered a Banished human inspector. Esparza was horrified that a human could do such a thing and considered the inspector to be a traitor and a monster. Browning revealed that using a human inspector had been a form of psychological warfare by Escharum. Esparza expressed his amazement at Browning's courage in drawing the Banished away from his friends, making Esparza realize how self-absorbed he'd been to feel sorry for himself. Esparza came to the conclusion that he'd been one of the "worst enemy" humans that Browning spoke of, albeit to a different degree than the inspector, because if he'd taken the time to look around the hanger bay rather than just fleeing, Esparza could've found others to join him. The two men bonded over their respective ordeals and experiences, particularly in the hands of 'Rdomani. The revelation of a shared experience seemed to offer comfort to the young medic. Noticing Esparza's continuing pain, Browning diagnosed him with a cracked rib or two at the very least from the effects of the torture machine. Esparza noticed that while Browning projected a willingness to "sort it all out," there was a hollowness and detachment to every obliging word and smile, as if Browning was on autopilot, projecting the shadow of the amiable personality that once defined him while in reality Browning seemed shut down. Worried about him, Esparza started cracking bad jokes to try to cheer Browning up.[27]

Discovering that the sounds were from two ODSTs, Gainey and Hightower,[28] the Master Chief retrieved Esparza and Browning and took them to a large UNSC encampment at Lifeworker Central.[29] At the field hospital, the Master Chief asked Dr. Shoff to check Esparza out too over his objections.[30] Esparza was treated for internal bruising, two rib fractures and a partially collapsed lung. The medical staff aspirated the excess air in his chest wall, but Esparza would continue to have sudden chest pain and shortness of breath for awhile.

With Banished activity gathering on the perimeter of the camp, the Master Chief decided to take Joy, Browning and Echo 216 to continue their mission without continuing to endanger the other survivors. Esparza collected what they needed to resupply the Pelican and refused the Master Chief's offer to stay at the camp. While the thought of being separated from the Spartan was clearly horrifying for the man, Esparza saw helping the Master Chief as the way he could work his way back from his mistake. The Chief knew that whether Esparza believed it or not, he had already helped tremendously and while the Spartan had dragged Esparza to the surface of the ring, despite his fear, the pilot had been there each and every time rather than running, no matter how much he complained about it. The Master Chief accepted Esparza's help, a choice that Joy also agreed with.[31]

On June 7, while parked at the Lifeworker Archive, Echo 216 came under attack by a Banished Phantom, only to have it shot down by a friendly missile. The C10 that Esparza had planted nearby detonated, and a fragment struck the beleaguered port engines, causing the Pelican to lose power. Rapidly losing altitude, Esparza was forced to bring Echo 216 in for a rough landing. As Esparza regained consciousness, the Pelican was boarded by four Sangheili who made hasty repairs to the flight systems, quickly getting Echo 216 in the air again. However, the Sangheili turned out to be Swords of Sanghelios who had been on the Infinity when it was ambushed instead of Banished.[32] The Sangheili flew the damaged Pelican into the alpine region of one of the island fragments where Esparza was greeted by a group of UNSC soldiers and survivors, including the boat crew, in a sheltered rock canyon.[33]

Later, Esparza surprised the Master Chief by coming to his rescue in what appeared to be a Banished Phantom, joined by the four Swords of Sanghelios warriors. At first elated to see the Spartan, Esparza was devastated to see him carrying the dying Lucas Browning.[34] Esparza sat in the troop bay with the Master Chief and Joyeuse on the flight back while 'Kor flew the Phantom instead. The next day, Esparza attended Browning's funeral at Lifeworker Central, wracked with grief, guilt and anger at the young medic's fate and their inability to save his life, something that the Master Chief and the AI shared. The three friends stood together at Browning's grave with Esparza choosing not to give any words of comfort, knowing that it wouldn't help them yet.[33]

On June 12, Esparza was amongst those present when Dr. Genie Dawson revealed that her team had found large groups of UNSC survivors in several areas. Esparza immediately volunteered for search and rescue efforts along with everyone else present.[35]

Personality and traits[edit]

"I'll be safe? Safe?! I haven't been "safe" since I found you! I found you, remember? You were out there on your own and you'd still be out there if it wasn't for me! I thought I was going home!"
— Esparza frustrated with the Master Chief after their Pelican was shot down by anti-air cannons.

Esparza is an emotive person, often showing his excitement,[36] despair,[4] and frustrations.[9] Esparza cares deeply for his wife and daughter, both of whom he missed terribly during the prolonged period of isolation he experienced aboard his Pelican. Even then, at the lowest point in his life, he demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Despite being out of food and water, and being cold, isolated, over-exerted, and trapped, he did not give up. When he eventually discovered the Master Chief, he felt relief and triumph.[3] His patience is not unwavering, however. He can be seen snapping at the Master Chief multiple times, irritated that his and the Spartan's motivations do not align.[9][4]

After the two bonded over their mistakes, Esparza learned to forgive himself for abandoning the UNSC and stealing Echo 216. He then held a more positive outlook in their situation, having learned to rely on the Chief and the Weapon to function as a team.[37] The closeness was especially highlighted when the Chief and the Weapon stormed the House of Reckoning to rescue Esparza despite overwhelming odds;[5] in turn, Esparza refused to give up and searched for the two after they disappeared when the Silent Auditorium collapsed.[18][37] Sharing experiences with Lucas Browning caused Esparza to realize how self-absorbed he'd been[27] and Esparza committed himself even more to helping the Spartan, begging to continue working with the Master Chief to make up for his mistakes rather than remaining behind with other UNSC survivors when given the chance. In turn, the Master Chief acknowledged that whether he believed it or not, Esparza had been tremendously helpful, being there every single time despite his fear rather than running away.[31] Esparza was equally devastated as his friends by Browning's death and didn't offer words of comfort as he knew that they wouldn't help his friends at the moment.[33] Esparza was also one of the first to volunteer his services for search and rescue for other UNSC survivors.[33]

"We're not talking a lot about the pilot at E3 this year. But he is a new character to the Halo universe and we're really taking our time to introduce the pilot and bring him in for players in a really careful way; where you get to learn about the pilot and emotionally connect with him throughout this piece. You'll be seeing the pilot more in Halo Infinite."
— 343 Industries studio head Chris Lee speaks to the pilot's introduction.[39]
  • Esparza is voiced and performance-captured by Nicolas Roye, and the character was named by Roye himself, after his two best friends from childhood.[40] Roye is set to reprise his role — on top of being the main narrator — in the audiobook for Halo: Edge of Dawn.[41]
  • Details of Esparza 's character design, such as the UNSC logo on his flight suit, are meant to showcase the art direction pursued for Halo Infinite—one that draws significant inspiration from the most iconic and historic parts of the Halo franchise.[42] Echo 216 and her pilot were first introduced in the 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo trailer for Halo Infinite, dubbed "Discover Hope". His resuscitation of John-117 and the life and courage the Chief then brings him were meant to speak to the theme of rebirth.[38]
  • Both Mega Construx and Wicked Cool Toys have produced representations of the character that are available for purchase.[43][44] Wicked Cool Toys' figure comes armed with a CQS48 Bulldog and an earthen base to stand on.[44]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Despite their prominent appearances in Discover Hope and the opening cinematic of the retail version of Halo Infinite, the mother and daughter in Esparza's holorecorder were not mentioned by Esparza when the Weapon asked him whether he had any family or close ones in the level The Sequence. Based on his response ("No... not anymore."), it is possible they were killed at some point before May 2560.
