'''Yeong-hao Holst''' is a [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV supersoldier]].
'''Yeong-hao Holst''' is a [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.<ref name="HI3"/> Spartan Holst was part of the first class of Spartan-IVs to be augmented and trained and in January [[2553]] he helped repel an attempted takeover of the ''Infinity'' by the [[New Colonial Alliance]].<ref name="HI3"/><ref name="HI2"/>


==Biography==
==Biography==
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], Holst was recruited as one of the first members of the SPARTAN-IV Program. During a training exercise he and Spartan [[Joel Thomas]] were disabled by stun rounds. After Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] completed the objective, [[Jun-A266]] berated them for nearly losing to the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. He was later on board the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it came under attack by [[Insurrectionists]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''Issue #2''</ref> He joined Palmer in choosing an armor, selecting the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|Recon]] variant. When [[Ilsa Zane]] decompressed S-deck, Palmer ordered Holst to locate the emergency [[Respirator pack|air masks]] for Jun and [[Thomas Lasky]]. Holst immediately found it, bashing the container open with his assault rifle. Spartans Palmer and Davis then attempted to retake Infinity's bridge from space as Holst and the others repelled the Insurrectionists on S-deck. When the Insurrectionist group opened fire, Holst shielded Lasky. Lasky then left Holst to quickly seal the rebels apart. The rebel incursion was successfully repelled due to their efforts.<ref>'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue # 3''</ref>
By [[2553#January|January 7, 2553]], Yeong-hao Holst had been enrolled as part of the first class of [[Spartan-IV]] candidates.<ref name="WaypointSpartans">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/spartans '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Spartans'']</ref> He soon thereafter underwent a series of [[Project ORCHID|biological augmentation]]s. After a couple of days of learning to walk again, Jun put he and the four others through an obstacle course while also facing off against fifty [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|marine]]s within a [[War Games]] facility.<ref name="HI2"/> During the exercise Holst was downed when he took a non-lethal round from behind at the base of his neck. [[Spartans]] Davis, Scruggs, and Thomas were similarly taken out of play, which left only Palmer to reach the end of the course. Jun called the performance against the marines embarrassing and the [[Commander-in-Chief of the Spartans]], [[Rear Admiral]] [[Musa Ghanem]], approached the group at that point and implored them to work better as a team next time.<ref name="HI2"/>
 
Before January concluded Holst and the four others were transferred to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, then under construction in the [[Sol system]]'s [[Oort cloud]].<ref name="HI2"/><ref name="HI3"/><ref name="HI1">''[[Halo: Initiation]]'', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 3|Issue #1]]''</ref> The ship's [[executive officer]], [[Thomas Lasky]], met the Spartans upon their arrival and then them via [[tram]] to the Spartan Deck. While they were still being introduced to the amenities availiable on S-deck, a woman introduced herself to the entire {{class|Infinity|supercarrier}} as [[Ilsa Zane]] and announced she had taken it over. The selection of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|Mjolnir armor]] in the deck's armor bay was limited then, but Holst and the others didn't hesitate to suit up, even against reservations voiced by Jun.<ref name="HI2">''[[Halo: Initiation]]'', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 2|Issue #2]]''</ref><ref name="HI3"/> Before Jun could finish explaining that Zane had once been part of a prototypical phase of the Spartan-IV program, Holst had been outfitted by a [[Brokkr Armor Mechanism]] with a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|Recon]] variant.<ref name="HI3"/> Lasky needed to be escorted safely to a working security console so he could try to figure out what was going on, so Jun ordered the Spartans to lead the way. While they were arming themselves with firearms, however, Zane addressed them directly and then from her place on the bridge, proceeded to vent all of S-deck to the vacuum of space. Palmer yelled for Holst to get emergency [[oxygen]] [[Respirator pack|masks]]for Lasky and Jun, so he broke open a nearby cabinet with an [[MA5D assault rifle]]. Palmer and Davis went [[EVA]] to assault the bridge from outside the ship, which meant that only Holt, Scruggs, and Thomas were the only Spartans left on S-deck when [[Alpha Group|a team]] of six [[New Colonial Alliance]] operatives attacked. Holst managed to shield Lasky from fire with his armored body and was then commanded by Jun to get the XO to safety. Lasky protested against leaving without Jun but Holst assured him the former [[Spartan-III]] knew what he was doing. Lasky was soon able to seal the three surviving rebels away on the deck and from there he, Jun, and the Spartans made for the bridge. Upon arrival, they found that Spartans Palmer and Davis had been successful in recapturing it.<ref name="HI3">''[[Halo: Initiation]]'', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref>
 
Following the ''Infinity'''s deployment to the [[shield world]], [[Requiem]], in February [[2558]], but before its arrival at [[Ealen IV]] on March 5 of that year, Spartan Holst was deployed to the surface of a world alongside Palmer, Thomas, Scruggs, the five members of [[Fireteam Majestic]], and two other Spartans.<ref name="HI3"/>

Spartan Holst armors himself in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/R variant|Recon-class]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 MJOLNIR]] armor.<ref name="HI3"/> He first selected this variant when faced with a limited selection aboard the ''Infinity'' in the midst of the NCA takeover attempt in 2553, but still wears it as of [[2558]].<ref name="HI3"/> During the aforementioned conflict on the ''Infinity'' Holst selected an [[MA5D assault rifle]] to arm himself.<ref name="HI3"/>
