Master Chief Petty Officer "John" SPARTAN-117 has been trained since childhood to be an expert with any weapon, the master of any vehicle he has been quite literally transformed into a living weapon (while encased in MJOLNIR powered assault armor or not.) He has fought in over 200 ground assaults against the Covenant forces and has been awarded every major service medal (except the prisoner of war medallion). When paired with the A.I. Cortana he has proven to be unstoppable.

====Card 2 - [[Cortana]]====

Cortana's self-determined personality is female, with a dry sense of humor and even elements of a hot temper. ''She'' is the most advanced "smart" A.I. in the UNSC's arsenal-a master of system infiltration, intelligence gathering, and counter-intelligence operations. ''She'' is probably the best source intelligence on the Covenant in human hands. ''She'' is aware that her own capabilities are far beyond the average A.I. and says so often.

====Card 3 - [[Captain Keyes]]====

Captain Jacob Keyes had a Naval career spanning more than twenty-five years at the time of his death. He was chosen to command the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' during a mission that would hopefully force the [[Covenant]] to the bargaining table. Unfortunately, the Covenant attack on [[Reach]] derailed - the ''Autumn'' was one of very few ships to survive the battle. They subsequently crash landed on the ancient construct now known as [[Installation 04|Halo]]. He led the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces on the ring, but fell to [[Flood]] - looking for a weapon that would turn the tide of the war.

The Marines are the United Nations Space Command's primary expeditionary ground forces. Each and every one of them is trained in weaponry and vehicles. Using the ubiquitous Pelican dropships they are capable of deploying troops and material as a moment's notice. These are the rough men (and women) who stand ready to do violence on humanity's behalf-born under the shadow of a genocidal war now in it's twenty-seventh year.

The [[Monitor]] of Installation 04 (or what humanity knows as the first Halo artifact) is an artificial intelligence, a being of inscrutable purpose and one of the only surviving links to the long-vanished [[Forerunner]] civilization. Guilty Spark's dedication to the safety and operation of the Halo weapon makes him a dangerously unpredictable entity - a friend one moment and a deadly foe the next. 343 Guilty Spark was recovered from the wreckage of the destroyed Halo by Covenant forces, who regard him as an [[Monitor|Oracle]] of their religion. They were wrong.

====Card 10 - [[Drones]]====

These insect-like drones give the Covenant their own organic air force. Swooping in and out of combat quickly, groups of drones rain firepower down upon their enemies with lethal proficiency. Drones can be hard to hit in the air, meaning that a marine without some cover and some patience might be in for a rough time. On the upside, Drones will frequently tire and need to land, exposing them to easier assault.
