'''Butkus''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] stationed at [[Earth]] in [[2552]]. He was part of the [[7th Shock Troops Battalion]].{{Ref/Game|Id=beach|H2MMP|Detail=[[Another Day at the Beach]]}}

During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], Butkus and his squad, led by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]], were dispatched from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} to infiltrate the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}} ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' with [[John-117]]. Their [[D77-TC Pelican]] was shot down over [[Old Mombasa]] by a {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}. Butkus survived the crash, but his squad was soon attacked by a [[Covenant]] patrol. While taking point, Butkus was nearly killed by a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], but he managed to just evade the shot. After his squadmate [[Walpole]] took down the sniper, a cloaked [[Sangheili]] tried to sneak up on Butkus with an [[energy sword (fiction)|energy sword]]. Butkus' rifle was bisected and he himself narrowly dodged the attack and fell to the ground, picking up an {{Pattern|Eos'Mak|plasma pistol}} and overcharging it. When the Sangheili took Walpole hostage, Butkus fired an overcharged shot at the Sangheili, disabling its energy shields, allowing his fellow ODST to kill the Sangheili with a headshot. Along with the rest of his squad, Butkus defended [[Hotel Zanzibar]], then met up with John-117.{{Ref/Reuse|beach}}{{Ref/Level|H2|Outskirts}}

*Butkus used a plasma pistol to take down a Sangheili's shields, followed by a Battle Rifle burst from [[Fones]] (Stacker in ''Halo 2: Anniversary''). This is commonly referred to as the [[Noob Combo]].
