Chips Dubbo

Background
Private First Class Chips Dubbo (voiced by Andrew McKaige), is an Australian Marine in Halo: Combat Evolved. His distinctive dialect, unmistakable smart remarks and laid-back attitude make him instantly recognizable. Dubbo returns in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Chips Dubbo was a UNSC Marine stationed on the Pillar of Autumn. He escaped the destruction of the Pillar of Autumn along with most of the other Marines using escape pods. Dubbo met the Master Chief on Halo. He later on went with Keyes, who took two fire teams (Dubbo included), and went to find the "weapons cache" that 'Qualomee had told them about. The cache later turns out to be the Flood containment facility and he and his team, along with the remains of Lovik's Second Squad, escaped the facility and then met up with the Master Chief again. Chips and the few survivors of his team were picked up by Echo 419, making it out alive along with Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, as well as Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson.

After the events on Installation 04 and Cairo Station, he was deployed into Old Mombasa at Hotel Zanzibar. Here, he encountered John-117 again. Later he managed to board In Amber Clad to survive the city's destruction. Afterwords he assisted John-117 in killing the Prophet of Regret. After surviving The Second Battle Of Earth, he went through the portal to The Ark and took part in the Battle of Installation 00. He then escaped the Ark with the rest of the surviving Marines and Covenant Separatists. He, along with Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, are the only two Marines to survive the events at Alpha Halo, New Mombassa, Delta Halo, Voi & The Ark altogether. He was present at the memorial service to all those who perished defending Earth and her colonies, and took part in the 21-gun salute, led by Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker.

Trivia

 * There are funny voice out-takes for the voice actor of Dubbo, including a spoof of Crocodile Hunter called "Flood Hunter".
 * When the game was released, many Australian players said that Dubbo's accent sounded like a poor American attempt at an imitation. However, the voice actor, Andrew McKaige, really is Australian.
 * Because he mysteriously survived Alpha Halo, he might have had some connections with Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, another survivor. The two of them escaped together by unknown means before John, Fred, Will, Linda, Cortana and Sergeant Johnson got back to Earth.
 * He could be an ODST.
 * Many Australian players did their best to keep Dubbo alive during battles, one player going as far as to jump in front of Dubbo to shield him from enemy fire, another player pushing and meleeing Dubbo out of the way of a grenade, sacrificing themself to save Dubbo.
 * His name is probably a reference to the Australian city, Dubbo, located in New South Wales.
