The Unnamed Marine is a UNSC Marine Shock Trooper, and served in Mombasa, Kenya in 2552. He/she is the only known survivor of his unit after the Prophet of Regret's slipspace jump devastated the city and Shock Troopers still conducting the drop.

It is suggested that he/she may be a SPARTAN-I. This would explain how s/he survived a drop and crash with a 99.99% expected fatality rate (later corrected to 00.52%), with only battered armor and a 6 hour period of being unconscious to show for it.

This likely incorrect, at the time of impact, the Superintendent displayed the message "Motor Vehicle Crash!" and when searching for the debris though the smoke, the SI displayed "Acquiring Vehicle ID..." which means it is more likely that the AI believed the HEV to be one of the normal cars or trucks inside the city crashing, and estimated accordingly.
