S-G313[3] | |
Mark-G313, born Mark Han,[1] was a SPARTAN-III supersoldier of Gamma Company. Originally assigned to Team Saber as a marksman, he served as part of Blue Team following the Onyx Conflict[4] until Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE in July 2553, when he was reassigned to an Office of Naval Intelligence Ferret Team led by Veta Lopis along with fellow Gamma Spartans Ash-G099 and Olivia-G291, with Mark serving as the team's security specialist.[5] While stopping the Keepers of the One Freedom from firing the Halo Array, Mark was killed by Prelate Dhas Bhasvod who snapped Mark's neck. By this point, Mark had already suffered mortal wounds and died buying his team - his family - time to escape.[6] He was given a burial in space by the other Ferrets and the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire.[7]
Biography[edit]
Conscription[edit]
Mark Han was born on the human colony of Veltun on December 23, 2538.[1] He was orphaned at a young age by the Covenant and was conscripted into SPARTAN-III Gamma Company at around age six.[8] Once on Onyx, Mark and the other Spartan candidates were trained by LCDR Kurt Ambrose, SCPO Franklin Mendez, as well as the surviving Beta Company members, PO2 Lucy-B091 and PO2 Tom-B292 at Camp Currahee. Mark was assigned to Team Saber under the command of Ash-G099.
Onyx Conflict[edit]
Zone 67[edit]
When the human forces on Onyx came under attack by Sentinels, the teams were still vying for top honors. Team Saber went dangerously close to Zone 67 to avoid the other teams. The team spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of Covenant drone due to its energy shields and anti-gravity technology it possessed.[9] They decided to investigate and the Sentinels engaged. Mark remained with the team as they tried to figure out the weak spots of the drones. He and the rest of the team hurled rocks at the drones and to their surprise, the drone's shields did not activate. The Sentinel chased Ash into a hole and Mark and the rest of the team pummeled the drone with huge rocks, destroying it.[10]
A general decision was made and the Team moved to the armory to get heavier armaments. Team Saber met up with Commander Ambrose, Chief Mendez, as well as PO2 Tom and Lucy and they spent several days fighting the Sentinels using guerrilla tactics. Mark and the team later met up with Petty Officer, Second Class Kelly-087 and Dr. Catherine Halsey and were subsequently engaged by a pair of Sentinels.[11][12] After the skirmish, Mark and the rest of the Spartans took Dr. Halsey and Kelly to a bombed-out bunker where Halsey revealed the origin of the Sentinels and what to do next.[13]
Team Katana[edit]
After the team destroyed the two Sentinels and the overwatch position at Camp Currahee, they moved back to Zone 67.[14] After making their way through an excavated Forerunner city, they discovered Onyx's map room, where they learned that Onyx was an artificial construct, as well as pinpointing the location of Team Katana. Before recovering Team Katana, however, AI Endless Summer sent them on a mission in a Sentinel manufacturing facility to make sure no more Sentinels were produced.[15] Mark and Team Saber played a key role in destroying the factory, using its teleportation grid to their advantage.[16] Later, they moved out to discover Team Katana and found them in slipspace field pods. However, the Covenant knew the location of the two teams and were advancing towards their position with four legions of Sangheili, Mgalekgolo, and other soldiers, as well as armored vehicles.[17]
End of the battle[edit]
The humans fell back to a portal which led to Onyx's interior shield world, located within a massive room in Onyx's core, where they soon found themselves surrounded by the Covenant. Mark and the other Spartans formed a loose half-circle "killzone" around the portal and picked off targets at close and long range. They managed to defend the entrance to the shield, although it had come at some serious losses. William-043, Dante-G188, and
