Orphaned, he was conscripted as a part of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company]]. However, he was pulled out of the unit by [[Kurt-051]] and [[Franklin Mendez]] before [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]] in [[2537]], which resulted in the deaths of most members of Alpha Company.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=personnel&cid=24040 '''Bungie.net''': ''Communique from Kurt to Mendez'']</ref> Later, he became a member of Noble Team, with whom he fought during a [[Battle of the unidentified human colony|battle on an unidentified human colony]] in [[2552#April|April 2552]] and during the Fall of Reach in the summer of the same year.<ref name="bnet"/> | ||
==Fall of Reach== | |||
On [[2552#July|July 23rd, 2552]], contact with the [[Visegrad Relay|Visegrad communications relay]] on Reach was lost. After losing contact with the [[UNSC Army|Army]] fireteams that he had deployed to investigate the disturbance, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] sent Noble Team to find the cause of the communications blackout. Soon after arriving at the relay, Noble Team encountered a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] incursion force. Soon, the team split in half, with Emile, [[Jun-A266|Jun]], and [[Catherine-B320|Kat]] flying directly to the relay and [[Carter-A259|Carter]], [[Jorge-052|Jorge]], and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] proceeding on the ground. After the team battled their way inside and fighting a team of [[Sangheili Zealot]]s, Carter informed Holland that the [[WINTER CONTINGENCY]] was in effect, as Covenant forces were on Reach.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> | |||
On July 26th, Noble Team helped defend the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Sword Base]] from a Covenant attack spearheaded by an overhead [[Covenant corvette|corvette]]. Near the end of the battle, Emile took position near the top of the structure. From this position, he engaged several [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] to clear allow some of the base's remaining [[GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor|Longswords]] to get airborne. After the corvette was destroyed by one of Reach's [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s, Noble Team met [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], with whom they discussed the Zealot team they had previously encountered.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> | |||
On [[2552#August|August 23rd]], Noble Team rendezvoused inside ONI's now-compromised [[Olympic Tower]] in [[New Alexandria]]. During this meeting, Emile tried to mask his sorrow for Jorge's death through humor. Moments later, the Covenant began [[glassing]] dangerously close to Noble Team's position. As the SPARTANs fled, Kat was killed by a waiting [[Sangheili]] marksman. The survivors attempted to kill the Elite to no avail. On August 26th, Noble Team emerged from a fallout bunker beneath the ruins of the Olympic Tower. Emile carried Kat's body to the evacuation dropship.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> | |||
On August 29th, the remaining members of Noble Team were sent to the Covenant-occupied remnants of Sword Base; they were to demolish in Sword Base order to prevent Halsey's excavation data from falling into Covenant hands. Emile, Carter, and Jun remained in a [[UH-144 Falcon]] while Noble Six and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s eliminated a pair of Covenant [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti-aircraft cannons]]. After the cannons were disabled, Noble Team fought their way into the interior of the base. After the team arrived at the pre-arranged coordinates, which seemed to be a dead end with no load-bearing structures, [[Auntie Dot]] revealed that the team had been given a new objective. They were to rendezvous with Dr. Halsey over a kilometer away and 2,000 feet below ground. | |||
The team soon arrived at a [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|complex]] beneath the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]]. Halsey insisted upon the importance of the site and demanded Noble Team's support while she completed transferring critical data in her laboratory. Emile and the other SPARTANs defended Halsey's lab from several waves of Covenant forces, who had found an entrance to the ruins. Eventually, Halsey ushered the SPARTANs inside, where she revealed the data she had transferred: a fragment of the [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] that carried a "latchkey" discovery found in the ruins. She ordered Noble Team to escort [[The Package (data storage unit)|the "package"]] to the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}}, a {{Class|Halcyon|Cruiser}} that was drydocked at the [[Aszod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking yards]] in [[Aszod]]. Jun escorted Halsey to ONI [[CASTLE Base]], while Emile, Carter, and Noble Six flew to rendezvous with the ''Pillar of Autumn''. As the group parted ways, Halsey detonated explosive charges within the ice shelf, burying the ruins.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[The Package (level)|The Package]]''</ref> | |||
On August 30th, as Noble Team neared the ''Pillar of Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s location, their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was damaged, and Carter was severely wounded, by pursuing Banshees. Emile attempted to hold the pursuers off to little avail. Carter ordered Emile and Noble Six to escort the package to the ''Pillar of Autumn'' on foot. The two SPARTANs leapt from the Pelican and fought their way two the mouth of a ravine, where they were cornered by a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]]. Fortunately, Carter arrived, though the Pelican's weapons were not powerful enough to damage the Scarab. As the commander told his plan to ram the Scarab, Emile encouraged Carter to ''"Hit 'em hard."'' With their leader dead and the Scarab destroyed, the two remaining SPARTANs continued toward the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Eventually, they reached the drydock's landing platforms, where [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]] would take possession of the package personally. Emile mounted an [[15cm Mark/2488 1.1GJ MAC|"Onager" mass driver]] that the ''Pillar of Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] contingent had installed, using it destroy several approaching Phantom dropships.<ref name="PoA">'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''.</ref> | |||

After Noble Six had cleared Platform Delta, Keyes arrived in a Pelican to take possession of the package. While Noble Six met with the captain, a Phantom flew the emplacement and dropped off a group of Zealots. Emile dismounted the emplacement and killed the first Elite with his shotgun. However, a second Elite managed to impale him with an from behind with an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. Defiant to the end, Emile pulled out his kukri and stabbed the Elite through the throat, causing both of them to fall from the platform. When Noble Six ascended the stairs to the mass driver, the bodies of Emile and the Elites who ambushed him were slumped against the railing.<ref name="PoA"/> | |||

Respected by his peers, Emile | Respected by his peers, Emile was described as being detail oriented and unbreakable, being an effective member of the unit while in the field and maintaining strict discipline off the field. He was, however, noted to have had the most trouble interacting with non-SPARTANs than anyone other member of Noble Team.<ref name="bnet"/> | ||
Emile | Emile was particularly bold and aggressive. Colonel Holland noted that Emile-A239's excessive use of force made it hard to field him against [[insurrectionist]]s due to the resulting reaction in [[civilian]] media; to this end, Holland decided to replace him with [[Rosenda-344]] if another counterinsurgency operation was scheduled. He also treated regular civilians with suspicion and disregard, which led to confrontations between him and Jorge. Despite his hard outlook, he held a deep respect for his teammates, as well as readiness to sacrifice himself in order to allow the ''Pillar of Autumn'' to escape. Emile handled the loss of teammates by masking his emotions with humor.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Legendary Developer Commentary''</ref> | ||
