The '''Spartan in the ''Autumn''''' is a Spartan Model found in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', on the [[campaign]] level "[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]".<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> It was confirmed by [[Bungie]] to be a technical glitch, not an Easter egg.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=55454181 '''Bungie.net''' — ''Halo: Reach'' Forum - What is "Secret Spartan on PoA"?]</ref>

The Spartan is hidden in the same hangar that [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]' Pelican docked in during the ending cutscene. The Spartan is wearing a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V]] helmet with a [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|black visor]] and no attachments, Mark V shoulders (with a UNSC tag similar to that on FJ/Para shoulders), Mark V[B] chest with a robotic arm, FJ/Para knee guards, no wrist guard, and no utility.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=12781498 '''Bungie.net''' — ''Halo: Reach'' File Share - Secret Spartan on PoA?!]</ref><ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=13051595 '''Bungie.net''' — ''Halo: Reach'' File Share - Secret Spartan]</ref> Oddly, its armor is completely jet black, a color which cannot be selected in-game. The spartan appears to be a model created using in-game assets inaccessible to the player; It is fully textured and rendered and can be seen “breathing” like a player controlled character would.

 

[[File:Zoomed_Out.jpg|thumb|200px|The hangar on the left contains the Spartan.]]Activate Pan Cam during gameplay, and go to Theater to play the clip. Zoom in on the left side of the ''Autumn'', near the second yellow crane (from the gameplay area's perspective). Try to pass through part of the hull. Once you've reached the solid barrier on the ship, find the last hangar to the left. While the ''Autumn'' is a solid object that cannot be bypassed even with [[panoramic camera mode]], so the player cannot see the figure properly, at a certain point in the mission the Autumn will deload (or disappear) and the pan cam can be moved to where it would have been. Thus, when the Autumn reappears again later in the mission, it is possible to get a good look at the spartan. While in the Autumn, the pan cam will continuously be pushed backwards until you are pushed out of the Autumn, so making videos or screenshots of the spartan is difficult (but not impossible). The Spartan can be seen in the hangar's right corner. After the cutscene where [[Emile-A239]] is killed, the Spartan will disappear, likely due to the area being used during the next cutscene.
