'''Spartan Kojo Agu'''<ref name="ENC"/> ([[service number]] '''14606-85099-KA'''), nicknamed '''Romeo''', is a [[SPARTAN-IV]] supersoldier who formerly served with the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] as an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]. He was part of [[Alpha-Nine]], a squad led by [[Gunnery Sergeant|GySgt]] [[Edward Buck]], during the final days of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war years]].<ref name="squad">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Halo3ODSTsquad '''Bungie.net''': ''Meet The Squad'']</ref>

Agu is shown interacting aggressively or abrasively with almost every squad member, as they will tell him to show some respect, including striking the [[Rookie]] with his [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] and yelling at him to wake him up. He is good friends with Miles, the squad's heavy weapons specialist. In his old unit, Agu racked-up multiple code of conduct violations, any one of which should have resulted in demotion—or worse.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''Firefight character description''</ref> However, he was kept because the UNSC were running out of battle tested snipers, and Agu was one of the best. He is a consummate combatant but also saw himself as something of a ladies' man, hence his nickname "Romeo". Later, after becoming a Spartan-IV, he began taking advantage of his formal title, "Spartan Agu", to impress the ladies.<ref name="H:NB">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 1</ref> He is proud of his colonial background, and doesn't hold much respect toward Earth. Prior to the Battle of Earth, he had never been to Earth, and had only seen it from the window of a transport. While he is still listed as a Madrigali citizen, Agu's last known place of residence is [[Holetown]], [[New Barbados]] on the colony of [[Emerald Cove]].<ref name="squad"/>

During his service with the ODSTs, Agu wore the [[ODST armor#Sharpshooter|Sharpshooter variant]] of the ODST armor. After joining the SPARTAN-IV Program, Agu continued to wear ODST variants of the Mjolnir armor,<ref>[https://twitter.com/mforbeck/status/573677386652319744 '''Twitter:''' ''Matt Forbeck'' - "You know, I never sat down and picked any out. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in ODST style though."]</ref> but by the time he was sent to Concord for his solo mission, he was field-testing a prototype of the DEADEYE-class Mjolnir armor system.<ref name="fodder"/> Agu arms himself according to his missions,<ref name="PTD"/> and has shown that he could take down targets efficiently with various weapons, including sniper rifles, [[M6C magnum|magnums]], [[M7S SMG]]s, and even [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifle]]s.<ref name="helljumper"/>
