"Ghost" was known among many UNSC Marines due to an engagement with [[Covenant]] forces that resulted in the deaths of his entire platoon. During that incident, a [[unidentified Marine (Ghost's platoon)|dying Marine]] asked Ghost to "be human" for once, as he had always come across as a cold-hearted, soulless individual. The Marine then died in his arms, and Ghost "died inside", crying out to the sky and vowing to avenge his fallen platoon. | ===Human-Covenant War=== | ||

Ghost was deployed with the [[Hades Corps]] to destroy navigational data and prototype weapons during the [[Algolis Invasion]], per the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. During the battle, he commandeered a set of [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|prototype powered armor]], apparently disregarding his given orders to destroy it. However, he insisted that he was performing his duty, and used the time left until [[self-destruct]] initiation to provide cover for the Marines' and civilians' extraction. | Ghost was deployed with the [[Hades Corps]] to destroy navigational data and prototype weapons during the [[Algolis Invasion]], per the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]].

His armor's shielding failed and a {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} severed his arm, disabling him. Seeing that the evacuation shuttles had escaped safely, Ghost commented on his newfound humanity before uttering the code to activate the armor's nuclear self-destruct feature: "Be human." The resulting blast annihilated Ghost and the surrounding Covenant infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|Prototype}} | ||
