}}'''Sergeant Parker''' was a noncommissioned officer in the [[UNSC]] [[Marines|Marine Corps]] and a member of the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. Sergeant Parker was stationed aboard the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' as part of the [[ODST]] detatchment under [[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]] in [[2552]].


Sergeant Parker was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} as part of the ODST detachment under [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]] in [[2552#September|September 2552]] during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].
Like most of his commrades, Sergeant Parker abandoned the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' when it was attacked by the [[Covenant]] over [[Installation 04]] using a [[Human Entry Vehicle]] to "Helljump" to the surface of the [[Alpha Halo|Installation]]. He then assisted in the attack on the mesa that would be [[Alpha Base]].  


==Biography==
Later, he led the [[ODST]] attatchment that accompanied the [[Master Chief]] on the mission to rescue [[Captain Keyes]], who was captured aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 100</ref> Parker was tough and led his men well. After the drop off from [[Pelican]] [[Echo 419]], Parker and his [[ODST]]s were very helpful to the [[Master Chief|Chief]], but he felt that they slowed him down because they did not have the reflexes and combat skill other [[Spartans]] had.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 113</ref>
===Battle of Installation 04===
{{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
Parker was among the many personnel aboard the ''Pillar of Autumn'' when the ship made landfall on [[Installation 04]] in September 2552. He, along with the rest of the ship's ODST complement, conducted a [[Landing on Installation 04|landing]] via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] in the opening hours of the conflict, and was able to survive the drop. After rallying with the rest of the [[battalion]], Parker was tasked with leading a force of Marine personnel and [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] in a mission to [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|rescue]] the ''Autumn''{{'}}s [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF4}}


During the raid, Parker was injured during a close encounter with a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], though was able to dispatch the creature with his [[M6D magnum]]. He continued to lead his team alongside the Master Chief to the ship's [[bridge]], where he was ordered to stay put and wait for the Master Chief to retrieve the Captain from the brig.{{Ref/Reuse|TF4}} Whether Parker survived the ensuing fighting back to the ship's [[Hangar|shuttle bay]] is unknown - though he was almost certainly killed by the time of the destruction of Installation 04 on September 22, alongside the rest of the UNSC contingent on the ring.
Parker was wounded by the spines of a [[Hunter]] in the cargo bay.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 112</ref> Nevertheless, he shrugged it off and continued to lead the attack, liberating [[Captain Keyes]] from the brig of the vessel.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 114</ref>


==Personality and traits==
He was supposed to have been killed when the Master Chief left to find Captain Keyes, leaving him and his squad to wait by the Control Center. When the Chief returned, the entire ODST squad lie dead on the floor, with two [[Ossoona|Active Camouflaged Elites]] holding [[Energy Sword|Energy Swords]] pacing the room, however the novel simply said that Master Chief had regrouped with him.
During the raid on ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', Parker proved himself an efficient, personable leader. He was also very duty-minded, as he continued to fight even after sustaining a serious wound. He displayed a friendly inter-service rivalry with Master Chief, jokingly referring to him as a "swabbie" on multiple occasions.


==Production note==
His/Her gender however, is unknown because he/she is refered to as both a man AND a woman. It is assumed he is a man, as there are many references to him/her being a man, and only one saying he/she is a woman.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 113</ref> See: [[List of Inconsistencies in Halo]]
Sergeant Parker acts as a canon replacement for the [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] NPC on the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''.
