- "Private First Class Michael Crespo. Mickey. Smart enough to be a pilot, but trained to blow stuff up. He's never seen a planet get glassed. I hope he won't see it today."
- — Buck's description of Mickey.
Michael "Mickey" Crespo (Service Number 51033-15973-MC) is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper in the UNSC Marine Corps.[1]
Summary
Being an ODST is Mickey's favorite of all the positions he's been in. He is the demolition expert and pilot for the Squad. According to his file, he is highly creative, a risk taker and a daredevil.[2] Despite being an experienced combatant, he is somewhat unique among his squad brothers, never having witnessed a planet get glassed by the Covenant.[3] He holds the lowest rank and was the last to enlist of all the members on the Squad.
Biography
Early life
Mickey was born in 2530 in Crisium City in Naniwa, Luna. Despite this, he has never visited Earth, and has only seen it from a transport craft window. Mickey's parents were Insurrectionists and they died wiring a bomb to a government building, and he never got to know them well because he was very young at the time. He was placed in foster care, during which he studied subjects such as UNSC history and work productivity. He signed up for UNSCDF service on June 4th, 2548, as mandatory military service was a requirement for freedom from foster care.[2] Both he and The Rookie enlisted in the same year, and were both students before they enlisted. It is likely that they both knew each other before joining the Squad. He was a pilot and then Crew Chief on a Pelican dropship for sometime before becoming an ODST with the rank of Private First Class. Before the First Battle of Earth, he had undergone EVA training and finished in the top of his class, as well as three HEV drops.[2]
First Battle of Earth
Mickey served during the First Battle of Earth in 2552. He and his squad, along with a larger ODST force were stationed aboard the UNSC Say My Name, with the mission to assault the Prophet of Regret's Flagship above the city of New Mombasa.
During the drop to New Mombasa, Mickey's drop pod was caught in the EMP from the Prophet of Regret's retreating Assault Carrier. It lost power and slammed into The Rookie's pod, cracking the window and causing the Rookie's pod to land farther away from his squad.
Later that day, Mickey rejoined with Dutch in and defended the ONI Alpha Site complex with him.[4] Some time after the battle, they acquired a Pelican dropship from the NMPD, and were preparing to pick up Romeo and Buck from a landing pad in the NMPD Headquarters building. However, two Banshees appeared and shot the Pelican down, leaving Mickey's and Dutch's fates uncertain. Buck and Romeo proceeded to get back down to the city and rescue them.
Trivia
- He is unlocked for use in Firefight by getting the Kizingo Boulevard achievement.

- Mickey's Blood Type is A-.
- He's voiced by Alan Tudyk. An actor from the show Firefly (as is Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin). Coincidentally his character from the show was also a pilot.
