===Early life===

In [[2517]], Li was abducted at the age of six, when [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] singled him out as a perfect genetic match for the SPARTAN-II Program. He was replaced with a [[Flash-~~Cloning~~|flash clone]] who later died because of the defects that are a by-product of the flash cloning process. He was then taken to [[Reach]], where he was trained with the rest of the SPARTAN-II candidates by the AI~~ ~~[[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]].

Li-008 was one of the SPARTAN-II's best zero-gravity combat specialists. He had trained extensively with microgravity equipment and martial arts at the [[UNSC]]'s extreme-conditions facility on the [[Chiron Test Station~~|Chiron~~]] ~~space station~~ in orbit around [[Mars]]. It was also said that he was as much at home in free fall as the rest of them were on solid ground.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 219''</ref>

Little is known about Li-008's personality, only that he was a disciplined and skilled martial arts specialist.

In [[2552]], he was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} like most of the remaining Spartans, and was present at the [[Fall of Reach]]. During the battle, his team deployed to Reach to defend the [[Orbital Defense Generator]]s but their [[D77-TC|Pelican]] dropship, [[Bravo 001]], was shot down by enemy fire. Li-008 regrouped with the rest of the Spartans, and was assigned to [["Team Gamma"]] by [[Frederic-104]], along with [[Anton-044]] and [[Grace-093]]. Their objective was to evacuate [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]] and his men.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 24''</ref> The group was successful in rescuing Vice Admiral Whitcomb, but Frederic-104 ordered them to stay in hiding because their fall back point was crawling with [[Covenant]] forces.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 111-112''</ref>

Anton-044, Grace-093, Li-008, and Vice Admiral Whitcomb were forced to retreat to [[Camp Independence]] for three weeks, where they attacked the enemy repeatedly with guerrilla tactics. They also broadcast the ''[[Oly Oly Oxen Free]]'' code on the [[COM|UNSC E-Band]] until the signal was picked up by [[Cortana]] and [[John-117]] aboard the captured Covenant [[~~Reverence-class cruiser~~|~~''Reverence''-class cruiser~~]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 156''</ref> Shortly thereafter, John-117 took a team consisting of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery J. Johnson]], ODST [[Corporal (UNSC)|Corporal]] [[Locklear]], ONI [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]], and [[Petty Officer Second Class]] Pilot [[Sheila Polaski]] in a [[Spirit]] dropship to rescue them. On Whitcomb's order, Li-008 then joined the team to rescue Dr. Catherine Halsey and the remaining SPARTAN-II's who were trapped in an underground [[Forerunner]] complex.<ref>'''Halo: First ~~Strik~~''', ''page 173''</ref>

*Interestingly, even though he was the Spartans' Zero-G expert, John-117 did not pick him for the mission to retrieve the nav data at the [[Fall of Reach]]. Instead he went groundside to protect the ~~Orbital Defense Generators.~~

*Interestingly, even though he was the Spartans' Zero-G expert, John-117 did not pick him for the mission to retrieve the nav data at the [[Fall of Reach]]. Instead he went groundside to protect the orbital defense generators.

**It is also quite ironic how he was the Zero-G expert because he died during what could be considered a "space" battle.

*John-117 commented that he was the only Spartan who was as comfortable in Zero-G as on ground.

*He spent almost everyday on [[Reach]] training in Zero-G environments.
