- "I'm not spending lives to save my own."
- — Faison to Ignatio Delgado shortly before his death.
Major Faison was a Field Grade Officer in the UNSC Marine Corps. He served as an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper aboard the UNSC Midsummer Night [1].
Biography
He was the second-in-command of First Lieutenant Canfield, and took over after Canfield's death onboard the Finnegan's Wake. Thanks to Lieutenant Jacob Keyes, Faison and most of the ODST squad made it off the freighter alive. Faison expressed his gratitude to Keyes by giving him an ODST tattoo.
Later, Faison led the Orbital Drop Shock team in the combat at The Rubble on board a Kig-Yar ship and was shot in the thigh by a Jackal as he turned a corner. He refused to waste time getting himself to a medical facility after Ignatio Delgado insisted that he could keep him alive. Faison ordered Delgado to trade his pistol for his BR55 Battle Rifle, and told him to leave and not to get help. Despite this, Delgado asked for the SPARTAN Jai to come retrieve Faison. Faison remained behind, and later died at the hands of Zhar, a Covenant Elite. The Elite had turned the corner, not noticing the injured Faison who was lying against the wall, and took a round to his shields before firing back a bolt of plasma which went right through Faison's head. Immediately afterward, Jai arrived and fought with Thel 'Vadamee, but left when he saw that Faison was already dead. The Marine's body was left there.
Trivia
- Keyes had remarked that Faison was "an insane Marine". Faison did not help this case when he gathered a few of his men, attacked Keyes, and bound him before giving him the ODST tattoo.
- "Faison" is similar to the French word "to make".
- He has a knife with the words "Bug-Hunter" etched into it, a reference to Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein[2].
- Faison almost fell off the building while coming out of his HEV, during the rescue of Lieutenant Keyes prior to the battle of Charybdis IX.
- It is odd that during the raid on the Finnegan's Wake, he is a Second Lieutenant and then all of a sudden a Major.
- It is also odd that Keyes (who was then a Lieutenant), would be in charge of Faison, a Major, which is the equivalent of a Lieutenant Commander.
- This may be due to the fact that Keyes had tactical command over the mission, and therefore over Faison, despite Faison's higher rank, similar to how John-117 was able to initially assume authority over Lieutenant Haverson in Halo: First Strike.
