UNSC sergeant back from the dead.

Sergeant John Forge is a veteran NCO with the UNSC Marine Corps. As a battle

commander, his strategy strongly favors vehicle-orientated battle and focuses

on slow-building strength, entrenchment and sustained growth.

Forge was a career soldier who served during the Human-Covenant War.

Although his tactical ability and combat prowess were undoubted, his tendency

towards insubordination prevented him from achieving a high rank. On the

Shield World 0459 he gave his life to save the Spirit of Fire when he stayed

behind to detonate the ship's translight engine to destroy a Covenant armada.

His body was never recovered.
