Joseph-122

"Of the five escapees from the facility, only subject Joseph-122 has been captured."

- UNSC radio transmission after Joseph's capture

Joseph-122 was a SPARTAN-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command.

Conscription
Joseph was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. Catherine Halsey in 2517 when he was just six years old. He was then taken to the planet Reach, and trained by the AI Déjà and CPO Mendez, along with the rest of the Spartan children. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a series of augmentations to improve their abilities. Joseph was among the ones that survived and were not crippled or killed by the procedure.

Escape
A few weeks after the augmentation procedures, Joseph along with Daisy-023, Ralph-103, Oscar-129, and one other Spartans rebelled against their trainers, holding them at gunpoint in front of Dr. Halsey in order to let them leave. Halsey granted them freedom, and they escaped the training facility, hoping to return home to their parents. Joseph however, was caught by the UNSC shortly after their escape.

Trivia
Joseph was voiced by David Matranga.
