This '''paranoid Marine''' was a member of [[Fire Team Charlie]], a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] squad deployed to secure what was thought to be a [[Covenant]] weapons cache.<ref name="H:CE">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]''</ref>
The '''Crazed AWOL Marine''' was a [[UNSC Marine]], originally a member of [[Fire Team Charlie]].


== Biography ==
This UNSC Marine was presumably a member of Fire Team Charlie, deployed to what was thought to be a [[Covenant]] [[weapons]] cache. In reality, the fire team was headed for a [[Flood Containment Facility]].
Prior to being traumatized by the Flood infection of his Marine unit, this Marine was part of a Marine squad composed of [[Private]]s [[Bisenti]] and [[Manuel Mendoza|Mendoza]], and [[Private First Class|PFC]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins]] and led by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]].{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}} The squad was deployed into a swamp in search of a weapons cache under the control of the Covenant, later revealed to be a [[Flood containment facility]]. Once inside the facility, the squad met up with [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], along with Privates [[Kappus]] and [[Riley]] and ventured further into the facility. After entering a large hall, the squad was ambushed and attacked by a wave of [[Pod infector]]s. The Marine escaped the Flood infection by playing dead, though he also witnessed the death of almost his entire squad.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}} Shortly after the ambush, he fled and hid away from the Flood.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}}<ref name="theflood">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page ??''</ref>


[[John-117]] encountered the Marine in the facility while in search of Captain Keyes.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}}{{Ref/Reuse|theflood}} John quickly disarmed the Marine after the Marine, now in a fear-crazed state, fired his [[M6D pistol]] at the sight of the Chief. The Spartan tried to comfort the Marine and urged him to return to the surface, but the Marine ignored him and crawled into a fetal position, whimpered, and then fell silent. The Marine then proceeded to shoot himself after John continued his search for Captain Keyes.<ref name="jaime">[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive25.pl?read=740720 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''According to Jaime...''] (Marty the Elder, aka [[Marty O'Donnell]]: ''"[According to Jaime] he shoots himself, and you just miss seeing him do it."'')</ref>
He was inserted into the swamp by a [[D77-TC|Pelican]]<ref name=H:CE>[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref>, along with [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]], [[Private (UNSC)|Privates]] [[Bisenti]], [[Manuel Mendoza|Private Mendoza]], and [[PFC]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins]]. The squad met up with [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], along with Privates [[Kappus]] and [[Riley]], after discovering the remains of a dead [[Elite]]. After entering a large hall, the squad was ambushed and attacked by [[Infection Form|"small, squid-like creatures"]]. This Marine witnessed the death of almost his entire unit, and fled the battle, hiding from the [[Flood]].<ref name=H:CE>[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref>
 
Long after the [[Flood]] had finished their massacre of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and Covenant alike, [[Spartan-117]] came across this Marine. The soldier was a wreck, firing at anything that moved with his [[M6D|M6D pistol]], and hollering about "monsters." In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', it is said that the [[John-117|Master Chief]] told him to leave the building, but the Marine ignored him, and crawled into a fetal position, whimpered, then fell silent. He also told the Chief to "find your own hiding place!" and claims to be able to "hear [[Flood|them]]" when the Chief approached.  It is unknown what happened to the Marine after the encounter, though most likely he was killed by the Flood. It has also been rumored that he committed suicide.

== Trivia ==
*There was an idea for the paranoid Marine earlier in the development of the level [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]. He would have stayed alive initially, but when the player walked a distance away from him, there was supposed to be a loud bang. If the player returned, they would find him dead on the floor. This was revealed by [[Joseph Staten]] on the [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]] bonus disc.
*His fate is unknown, as the room he was in locks after the Chief comes back out. However, it is possible he was in the structure's "basement", as later a human body is found on a flaming platform, and a pistol lies next to it. Though, there is evidence that may contradict this theory since the dead marine was laying on a pile of burning rubble on the second lower level, but the ''Crazed Marine'' was located on the first lower level. In conclusion, the dead marine located on the pile of burning rubble being almost identical is sheer coincidence, or something that [[Bungie]] may have overlooked.
*As an homage to this Marine in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the [[Suicidal Marine]] in ''Halo 3''{{'}}s [[Floodgate]] campaign level was voiced by the same person, and features similar mannerisms to the original.

*As a homage to this Marine in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Suicidal Marine]] is voiced by the same person, and features similar mannerisms to the original. He can be seen on the level, [[Floodgate]].
*For the purposes of [[campaign scoring]] in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the Paranoid Marine is considered neither an enemy nor an ally. If the player kills the marine they will not receive points for killing an enemy, nor will they lose points for killing an ally. In the post-game the marine is listed as an enemy marine killed.
*In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Master Chief]] was actually shot by the Crazed Marine, but he immediately took the [[M6D]] from the Marine and tried to talk sense into him, before he crawled back into a fetal position.
*At times, the Marine may occasionally be seen without his M6D Magnum, raising his hand to his head as if it were in his hand. Instead, the gun will be holstered on his hip.
*He can be killed with one shot by any weapon.
 
*Reloading sounds can be heard, but he doesn't appear to be reloading his pistol.

*The Marine does not register on the Chief's HUD reticule as an enemy as it does not turn red; it simply remains blue. Some players still dub him as a Human enemy.
