Michael "Mickey" Crespo (Service Number 51033-15973-MC) is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper in the UNSC Marine Corps. He is the demolition expert and pilot for the Squad.

Biography
Mickey was born in 2530 in Crisium City in Naniwa, Luna, and signed up for UNSC service on June 4th, 2548. He was a pilot and then Crew Chief on a Pelican dropship for sometime before becoming an ODST with the rank of Private First Class. Somewhat unique among his squad brothers, he has never seen a planet destroyed by the Covenant. He served during the First Battle of Earth in 2552. During the drop to New Mombasa, Mickey's drop pod was caught in the EMP from the Prophet of Regret's retreating Assault Carrier. It lost power and slammed into The Rookie's pod, cracking the window and causing the Rookie's pod to land farther away from his squad.

Trivia

 * He is unlocked for use in Firefight by getting the Kizingo Boulevard achievement.
 * According to his Career Service Vitae he enlisted more than four months before his 18th birthday. This means that for some reason, he was able to enlist despite being only 17 years old, possibly due to a need for more soldiers due to large casualties fighting the Covenant. However, it is also stated that Romeo and John Forge were able to enlist at age 16, the legal age limit for the UNSC.
 * Mickey holds the lowest rank and was the last to enlist of all the members on the Squad.
 * Both Mickey and The Rookie came from Naniwa, Luna, and enlisted on the same year. It is likely that Mickey and Rookie both knew each other before Rookie joined The Squad.
 * Mickey's Blood Type is A-.
 * Mickey and The Rookie were both students before enlisting.
 * Mickey is the only member of the squad that has not witnessed the glassing of a planet.
