Talk:Marvin Mobuto

Mobuto as Spartan I?
Maybe another reason the flood never took him over was because hewas spartan I. If its true that Boren's Syndrome is a fake, and the flood didn't try to take him over, then he could be a Spartan I.

in all likelyhood, Mobuto was NOT a Spartan I; he was just a tough-as-nails marine that fought hard to his end. Poor bastard... Dude984  [ Communications ] - [ Contributions ] 18:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about him just being "tough as nails"... I mean, the novel states that even the Chief was exhausted by the time he reached Mobuto's final resting ground, and that was with the SPARTAN-II upgrades and the Mjolnir armor. When I read the novel, the thought that immediatly came to my mind was that Mobuto was a SPARTAN-I. It just seems unlikely that a UNSC Marine, even a Helljumper, could maked it so far without advanced training. And when I say "advanced", I mean SPARTAN.

Mobuto would have been brought to the Library at least several hours before the chief (during which time the flood would have been reproducing), and after its initial outbreak. So there would have been far fewer combat forms for him to fight. Still pretty impressive though; so he was probably SPARTAN-I material.

You can find his body right where the book says it should be.he actually looks like a halo 2/3 marine because of the colour of armor.His body is easily mistaken for dead combat forms.He doesn't look like an S1.
