Elias Holt

Elias Holt is a Spartan-IV supersoldier who participated in Operation: FAR STORM.

Early military career
During his service in the Human-Covenant War, Elias Holt proved to be a very competent and accomplished soldier of the United Nations Space Command. Throughout his military career, Holt participated in numerous battles in which he engaged Unggoy, Kig-Yar, and occasionally Jiralhanae, though he had never encountered a Sangheili during the war. Shortly after the end of the war, Holt's achievements led to his recruitment and enlistment in the Spartan branch, where he became a Spartan-IV supersoldier after sessions of extensive combat training and augmentations.

Operation: FAR STORM
In March 2555, a countdown to the activation of the Halo Array was discovered on Installation 07. A joint UNSC–Swords of Sanghelios task force was created to journey to Installation 00 to stop the firing sequence of the Halos. The Office of Naval Intelligence had stationed Holt and Spartan Frank Kodiak at the portal generator at Voi, Kenya on Earth while it underwent repairs to allow the team to travel to the Ark. After two days, Huragok Drifts Randomly managed to reactive the portal and the operation's team convened aboard Mayhem, the Sangheili's corvette, after a Retriever had exited the portal and begun mining Kenyan soil before it was destroyed by. While Captain Annabelle Richards insisted that the team needed ONI's permission before entering the portal, Commander N'tho 'Sraom moved the corvette towards the portal as he felt that they could not waste time waiting for administrative consent. Before they entered, Mayhem was attacked by another Retriever, though the corvette managed to destroyed the Sentinel. Mayhem entered the portal and, ultimately, the trip only took several hours rather than weeks —due to an increase in the portal's power by rampant monitor 000 Tragic Solitude.

Personality and traits
Relatively young for a Spartan-IV supersoldier, Elias Holt is enthusiastic about his position and job. He is considered to be somewhat "green" by Spartan standards, though Holt is a very capable soldier. Unlike some Spartans, Holt has a tendency to say what is on his mind.
