Ralph was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] in [[2517]] when he was about six years old. He and the other candidates were taken to the planet [[Reach]] and trained by the AI [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]]. In [[2525]] he and the other candidates underwent a [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|series of augmentations]] to improve their physical abilities. Ralph "washed out" before all the physical alterations could be introduced to his body. Certain enhancements were curtailed, making him physically superior to baseline humanity yet inferior to his successfully augmented comrades.<ref name="augmentation">[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=967143 '''Halo.Bungie.org''': ''Re: Spoiler-free thoughts on the new episodes'']</ref><ref group="note">The Adjunct section in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' makes no mention of Ralph failing to adapt to the augmentations.
