Heritage
Hank IV's great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather, for whom he was named, Hank J Wimbleton spent much of his time chasing the Sherif around Nevada over a dispute concerning pie. The otherworldly beings Jebus and Tricky became involved, and soon the Improbability Drive was activated and chaos ensued. Much later, order was restored and the pie found its rightful owner.

Pre-Covenant Life
Hank has been a marine for a long time. He's been around for about as long as Sergeant Johnson. He spent most of his life training in preperation for some form of combat, whether it be military or vigilante, like his ancestors.

Childhood on Earth
Hank was born on July 25, 2478. He lived a modest life on Earth somewhere in Nevada. He was isolated from society due to several incidents in which he bloodied bullies much older than him. He modelled his life after his namesake's, and often trained in the ways of combat and weapon logistics with civilian issue guns, kitchen utensils, and the ancestral sword passed down throughout the centuries. His mother home schooled him. He also had an inate fear of clowns. When he was of the legal age on January 15, 2494, he joined the Marine Corps.

Career in the Corps
Hank joined the Corps with the MOS of special warfare. His service number is 01001-11100-HW Hank quickly rose to the top of his class. He was never outdone, never defeated, and his unit always won. He graduated much earlier than his fellow recruits and was promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant before the end of 2495. In 2496, he had achieved the rank of Gunnery Sergeant and was a junior drill instructor. He taught many of the comrades he had originally joined with. In 2497, he was a First Sergeant and drill instructor of his own group of recruits. He was soon transfered to a new unit to receive training.

The ORION Project
Hank was transfered to the ORION Project early in 2498. Much of his training is classified, so few details are known. It is known that he cross trained extensively on all UNSC vehicles and weapon systems.

Covenant Conflict Begins
Hank fought the Covenant from the time the conflict began in 2525 until the end of the war. He is among the oldest to serve actively in the Corps. When he was transfered back into a marine unit, he retained his rank as first sergeant. He later was promoted to master gunnery sergeant, where he stayed for the remaineder of the war. He refused countless offers for promotion under the premise that he was just fine with his current MOS and didn't want to change it. He learned several tricks, such as how to easily defeat a sword-wielding Elite or how to kill a Hunter unarmed. He trained often with captured energy swords and was soon a master with them. He also carries his family's sword in a well hidden sheath across his back.

Battle of Installation 03
On April 26, 2552, Battle Group Churchill, which consisted of thirty-three ships, followed a Covenant battle group to an unknown location. When they exited Slipspace, they stumbled upon a Halo, Installation 03. Hank was part of the Marine Corps force aboard the UNSC Erwin Rommel. He was held in reserve until the Erwin Rommel crashed into the surface of the ring, destroying a powerful direct energy weapon being used against Battle Group Churchill. He fought his way across the desert landing zone, and then linked up with other Marine forces at Alpha Base. As time progressed, most of the UNSC ships broke down and crashed to the surface and Hank took part in several offensives and defensives against the Flood, the Covenant, and even some self-declared rebels. Sometime in October, the UNSC managed to piece together several fully operation reactors, and Hank left the system aboard the Winston Churchill, the flagship of Battle Group Churchill.
