'''Eric Santiago''' was a [[UNSC Navy]] [[ | '''Eric Santiago''' was a [[UNSC Navy]] [[pilot]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. He was a member of the [[Colonial Military Administration]] before it was disbanded, and his service to the UNSC was something he had taken out of necessity, not human patriotism.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 137''</ref> He fought for almost the entirety of the Human-Covenant War. | ||

Eric Santiago was born on the UNSC colony of [[Madrigal]] in the early 26th century. Some time in early [[2524]] Eric joined the Colonial Military. After getting out of boot camp, Eric was shipped to [[Harvest]] where he met [[Gage Yevgenny]] and [[Felicia Sanderson]] at the [[Utgard]] Space Port. The three quickly became friends. They participated in [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] on [[Eridanus II]], doing small jobs, such as investigating possible [[Insurrectionist|rebel]] activity and riot control in [[Elysium City]]. After two months, they had made friends with [[Allison Stark]], a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] pilot for the CMA, who often flew them to parties on weekends. One particular weekend, after flying a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] to a night club, an Insurrectionist bomb went off inside, killing Allison, sending Eric into a coma, and heavily injuring Gage and Felicia, who were pulled out of the rubble by ODSTs. Eric was sent to [[Reach]] for better medical care. | Eric Santiago was born on the UNSC colony of [[Madrigal]] in the early 26th century.

At some point during that time Eric was reunited with Felicia, now a [[Colonel]], aboard the {{UNSCShip|Chares}} and the two resumed their friendship. Felicia and Gage had both become [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s but the two had been separated and had not seen each other in over two decades. | ||
Following the Battle of [[Skopje]] in [[2547]], Felicia returned to the ''Chares'' with Gage Yevgenny, whom she had run into during the battle on the surface. The three were delighted to be together again, and already were having talks of retirement. Gage quickly noticed a change in Eric. Since his coma he had become so much more bitter and resentful toward the UNSC. Eric also subscribed to the not uncommon ODST resentment of the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]], calling them "freaks." | Following the Battle of [[Skopje]] in [[2547]], Felicia returned to the ''Chares'' with Gage Yevgenny, whom she had run into during the battle on the surface.
