Formerly an officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Colonel Watts defected to the Insurrectionist movement in the late 25th century. He served as the supreme commander of the Insurrectionist cell in the [[Eridanus system]] for three decades.<ref group=" | Formerly an officer of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], Colonel Watts defected to the Insurrectionist movement in the late 25th century.

However, in May 2513, Watts' men were met by a massive fleet initially reported as over one hundred ships entered the system at the start of the wide-spread interstellar, anti-insurrectionist operation, "[[Operation: TREBUCHET|TREBUCHET]]". Ordering the mass-exodus of insurrectionist forces, knowing their survival in battle to be impossible, Watts was taken by Pelican to the ''[[Iliad]]'', a captured [[UNSC frigate]], which he used as a command post as he coordinated both the resistance and evacuation. His experience proved very useful when he had the ''Iliad'' use towing cables to pull a UNSC ship apart before exiting orbit via slipspace.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp]]''', ''Issue #1''</ref> | However, in May 2513, Watts' men were met by a massive fleet initially reported as over one hundred ships entered the system at the start of the wide-spread interstellar, anti-insurrectionist operation, "[[Operation: TREBUCHET|TREBUCHET]]".
