'''Kai-125''' is a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] supersoldier of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Special Forces|Naval Special Warfare Command]]. Formerly a member of [[Omega Team]], Kai was most recently assigned to [[Silver Team]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF150|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-give-em-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder: If They Want Lore, We'll Give 'Em Lore|D=22|M=2|Y=2024}} | |||
==Biography== | |||
===Conscription=== | |||
Around [[2517#July|July, 2517]], Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] and her team processed the one hundred fifty candidates of the Spartan-II program with Kai being one of them.{{Ref/Game|HR|Part=Halo: Reach Limited Edition|PartText=Limited Edition|Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Detail=July 21, 2517}} On [[2517#September|September 10, 2517]], Kai was selected as part of the final seventy-five candidates for the [[Spartan-II program]], where Doctor Catherine Halsey gave the order to the [[Dumb AI|"Dumb"]] [[Artificial intelligence]] [[Déjà]] to give the order round them up. Several retrieval teams proceeded to kidnap and replace the children, including Kai, with [[Flash cloning|flash clones]],{{Ref/Comic|FoRBC|Issue=1}} with the children placed into [[Cryonics|cryostatis]] and rushed straight to the planet [[Reach]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFORC3|TFOR|Chapter=3}} | |||
===Training=== | |||
Once awoken from cryostasis on Reach at the [[Reach Naval Officers Academy]], shortly before 2300 hours on September 23, Kai-125 and seventy-four other children were led into an amphitheater through four sets of double doors, each accompanied by a [[UNSC Navy|naval]] drill instructor. With Doctor Catherine Halsey, and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] waiting for them on the stage. Halsey proceeded to tell the Spartans the truth about why they were taken and that they will be busy the following day.{{Ref/Reuse|HTFORC3}} | |||
Around 0530 hours on September 24, Kai and the other candidates were woken and were formally introduced to Chief Petty Officer Mendez and the rest of the instructors. The seventy-five candidates proceeded to go though their first day of training. Mendez and the instructors put the candidates through exercises, eventually taking them for a run around the campus taking them to the entrance of the Naval Academy. At the end of the run the candidates were introduced to the Artificial Intelligence Déjà, who stated she will be the candidates teacher, and began to teach them for the day after they entered the building. Déjà proceeded to teach the candidates about Thermopylae, and the 300 Spartans who battled the Persians at the [[Battle of Thermopylae]]. After class, the candidates were taken by Chief Petty Officer Mendez to "the playground", where the play played a game of [[Ring the Bell]] with the losing team not getting dinner, where Kai's team didn't lose the game.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFORC4|TFOR|Chapter=4}} The next day on September 25, the candidates were taught about wolves and how they work together to get their pray from Déjà, when played Ring the Bell in the playground after class.{{Ref/Reuse|HTFORC4}} On September 28, 2517; the Spartans were given hair cuts.{{Ref/Game|HR|Part=Halo: Reach Limited Edition|PartText=Limited Edition|Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Detail=September 28, 2517}} | |||
During one of the training operations on [[2519#July|July 12, 2519]], each Spartan trainee was dropped off at a different point in the preserve and was tasked with reaching an extraction point; the last Spartan to reach the point was to be left behind and forced to walk back. After being dropped off, the Spartans regrouped and made their way to the extraction point together. Upon reaching the point, the Spartans encountered a [[squad]] of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]]. When candidate [[Samuel-034]] feigned an injury before the Marines, one of them moved to attack him. However, as part of their plan, the rest of the Spartans attacked the Marine by throwing rocks at him and knocked him unconscious. The Spartans then enacted a similar plan on the rest of the Marines and eventually defeated the entire squad. Afterwards, the Spartans reached a [[D96-TCE Albatross]] and, with Déjà's help, commandeered the [[dropship]] and left the training preserve.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFORC5|TFOR|Chapter=5}} | |||
On [[2524#August|August 22, 2524]], the Spartans were rerouted to a Special Forces camp on the other side of reach due to interested parties within the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].{{Ref/Game|HR|Part=Halo: Reach Limited Edition|PartText=Limited Edition|Dr. Halsey's personal journal|Detail=August 22, 2517}} On [[2525#March|March 9, 2525]], the Spartans began their augmentations.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HTFORC6|TFOR|Chapter=6}} | |||

[[File:HW-Team Omega.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kai and the other members of Omega Team on Arcadia.]] | |||
By [[2531]], Kai-125 had been assigned to [[Omega Team]], a fast-reaction team of Spartan super-soldiers deployed to [[Human colonies|colony worlds]] under attack where their missions involved denying the enemy critical resources, data, and personnel—by any means necessary. At this point, Omega Team was composed of Kai-125, [[Leon-011]], [[Robert-025]], [[Riz-028]], [[August-099]], and [[Vannak-134]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}} | |||
When the planet [[Arcadia]] [[Battle for Arcadia|fell under attack]] by the [[Covenant]] on [[2531#February|February 9, 2531]], Kai and the rest of Omega Team was deployed to an unknown location on the planet.{{Ref/Level|Id=AO|HW|Arcadia Outskirts}} Meanwhile, [[Jerome-092|Jerome]], [[Alice-130|Alice]], and [[Douglas-042|Douglas]] of [[Red Team]] were tasked with defending the capital, [[Arcadia City]].{{Ref/Level|HW|Arcadia City}} Omega Team was eventually redirected to the outskirts of Arcadia City to reinforce Red Team and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] forces from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Following a twenty-minute delay, Omega Team reinforced their beleaguered comrades and swiftly drove the Covenant from the capital.{{Ref/Reuse|AO}} | |||
After Arcadia, Omega Team would not have the same team composition again until [[2540]] when the team was deployed for operations on [[Hellas]]. Following this, Kai was reassigned to form [[Silver Team]] alongside Riz-028 and Vannak-134.{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}} | |||

'''Kai-125''' is a [[SPARTAN-II program/Silver|Spartan-II]] supersoldier and member of [[Silver Team/Silver|Silver Team]] under the [[Asymmetric Warfare Research Group]] within the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Debrief1|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/silver-debrief-a-new-beginning|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Silver Debrief: A New Beginning|D=26|M=1|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Site|Id=halseycomputer|URL=https://halotheseries.tv/|Site=Halo: The Series|Page=Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer|D=25|M=3|Y=2022|LocalArchive=Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer}} | |||
==Production notes== | |||
*First appearing ''[[Halo: The Television Series]]'', Kai-125's designation, background, and name—along with those of Riz-028 and Vannak-134—were pulled from [[343 Industries]]' internal documentation for the core canon Spartan-II program.{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}}{{Ref/Reuse|Debrief1}} | |||
*Omega Team first appeared as a six-member Spartan-II fireteam in the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' mission [[Arcadia Outskirts]]; however, their identities were not established within the game. It was later revealed that three members of this incarnation of Omega Team were named August-099, Leon-011, and Robert-025, leaving fans to continue to speculate on the identities of the remaining three members. During the airing of ''[[Halo: The Television Series Season Two]]'', the remaining three members were established to be Kai-125, Riz-028, and Vannak-134, marking the characters' first appearance in the core canon.{{Ref/Reuse|CF150}} | |||
