(It's a shame that Escalation's version of Scruggs looks more like Jun than Initiation's take on Jun.)

Vladimir Scruggs is a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier.

Biography

After the Human-Covenant War, Scruggs was recruited as one of the first members of the SPARTAN-IV Program. Scruggs was knocked out during a training exercise in January 2553. After Spartan Sarah Palmer completed the objective, their trainer, Jun, berated them for nearly losing to the Marines. Scruggs complained that if he had MJOLNIR armor he could take on twice as many enemies. While Spartan Joel Thomas agreed with him, Commander Musa said they would get the armor when they deserved to wear it.[1]

Days later, Scruggs went along his fellow Spartans to the UNSC Infinity. There, he was struck by the enormity of the ship. However, an Insurrectionist attack, led by Ilsa Zane, interrupted the tour and locked the Spartans on S-deck. While Spartans Palmer and Davis headed to Infinity's bridge from space, Scruggs, Thomas, and Holst repelled the Insurrectionists. At one point, Scruggs wanted to vent a group of trapped Insurrectionists into space, though he was stopped by Commander Thomas Lasky.[2]

After the Insurrectionist attack on the UNSC Infinity, Scruggs was assigned to Fireteam Jackknife.[3]

Battle of Ealen IV

Main article: Battle of Ealen IV

In March 2558, Scruggs and the rest of Fireteam Jackknife, along with Fireteam Bailey and Paul DeMarco of Fireteam Majestic, were assigned to escort and provide security for Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood and Kaidon Thel 'Vadam on a diplomatic mission to Ealen IV. While Hood and 'Vadam were negotiating with the Jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus, Covenant insurgents attacked the delegates. Commander Palmer ordered Scruggs and the other SPARTAN-IVs to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. After their evacuation ship was destroyed, the Spartans escorted the delegates to a nearby parts depot. Once everyone was inside, DeMarco sealed the depot to halt the incoming Covenant forces.[3]

As the party attempted to escape the storage depot, Scruggs and Jackknife were made responsible for the safety of Lydus and his Jiralhanae bodyguards. Soon after their escape, they were intercepted by a Covenant Lich. After a short skirmish with the Covenant leading to the destruction of the Lich, Jackknife and the alien bodyguards left the delegates to ensure that the redoubt was safe to use as shelter. As the party arrived at the redoubt, Scruggs killed his team and the bodyguards, revealing himself to be the mole who had given away the delegation's position minutes earlier. He then radioed Commander Palmer and informed her that it was safe to bring the delegates into the redoubt. [4]
