During the first day of the [[Battle for Earth]], Walepole and his squad were dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} from ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' to relieve the UNSC's ground forces and to board the Covenant assault carrier, ''[[Solemn Penance]]''. Shortly after deployment, their [[D77-TC Pelican]] [[dropship]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a [[Type-47A Scarab]] walker. He survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant]] patrol. | |||

When the squad was pinned down by a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], Walpole as the squad's sniper, neutralized the Jackal with his "[[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|welcome-to-Earth gift basket]]", causing the lance's [[Unggoy]] to flee the area.

A [[Active Camouflage|camouflaged]] [[Sangheili]] then snuck up on the squad and took Walpole hostage by holding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]] held at the sniper's throat. One of Walpole' squadmates, [[Butkus]], wielding an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]], along with Stacker using his [[BR55 battle rifle]], killed the alien and freed Walpole. Walpole's subsequent fate is unknown, as his Sergeant, Stacker, was later found in the city without his squad present.<ref name="H2-metropolis">''Halo 2'', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> | ||

Like all ODSTs, Walpole is very tough and professional. He is an excellent marksman, and is not afraid of enemy snipers. He also has a notable sense of humor, even in combat, as evidenced by his desire to provide the Kig-Yar a "Welcome to Earth" 'gift basket'. When he is being held hostage by a Sangheili, he orders the team to kill the Sangheili instead of saving him. | Like all ODSTs, Walpole is very tough and professional.
