==Trivia==


*Fans have many theories as to the significance of his number, 117. Inside the ''[[Halo Universe]]'' the number was randomly assigned, but [[Bungie]]'s choice has been theorized upon in many ways. For more, see: [[List of Biblical References in Halo]]. It is most likely that it was chosen for mathematical reasons, since 1-1+7= [[7]], and also that the first 3 digits of 7^6 are 117.
*In both ''[[Halo: Uprising]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'', John is referred to as Sierra 117. This is a military-appropriate identifier using the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet Phonetic Alphabet].
*At the end of ''[[Halo 3]]'', shown on the memorial to fallen heroes, the Master Chief Petty Officer insignia next to the 117 carving has three stars, with the third being covered up by tape. This is the rank insignia for [[Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy]] (highest position for an enlisted sailor.)
*A model was never made for John's face in the game. Although [[Bungie]] has consistently stated that John's face would never be revealed to help players imagine themselves as Master Chief, numerous claims have been made that John's face was visible at some point (while playing on Multi-player). During the [[Halo 3 Beta]] several players posted videos of a possible version of the Master Chief's face. They could also brighten up the picture if they charged a [[plasma pistol]]<ref>[http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/12217 GameVideos.com - Halo 3 'Spartan Face' video]</ref> This face was an Easter egg left by Bungie, and is a model of one of their employees. Bungie's refusal to show John's face has been parodied many times in popular culture.
*Master Chief has appeared in a parody in the show MAD TV.{{fact}}
*A wax sculpture of John-117 can be visited at Madame Tussauds, Las Vegas. <ref>http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/articles/20070910-madametussaud.htm</ref>
*John appears in a cameo in ''Fable II'' as "Minstrel Chief." The armor is known as "Hal's Armor", the word "Halo" without the "O". The energy sword also makes an appearance as one of the first weapons you can attain with the Collector's Edition of Fable II.<ref name="Fable2">{{cite web|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/07/master-chief-crash-lands-into-fable-2/|title=Master Chief crash lands into Fable 2|author=Ross Miller|date=2008-08-07|accessdate=2008-08-07|work=[[Joystiq]]|publisher=Weblogs}}</ref>
*John 1 Chapter 1, Verse 7, is a passage referring God who relinquished all evil from the world so people could believe, hence '[[Believe]]' being part of the advertising campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''. He is said to be the first and last.
*John is voiced by [[Steve Downes]] in all three of the ''[[Halo]]'' games.
*[[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and [[Cortana]] are the only ones who call John by his actual name, [[Cortana]] having done this at the end of [[Halo 3]].
*In the Starry night trailer for Halo 3, the young boy is speculated to be John on Eridanus 2.

Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
