The '''Crazed Marine''' was a [[UNSC Marine]], originally a member of [[Fire Team Charlie]].
This '''paranoid Marine''' was a member of [[Fire Team Charlie]], a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] squad deployed to secure what was thought to be a [[Covenant]] weapons cache.<ref name="H:CE">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]''</ref>


This UNSC Marine was presumably a member of Fire Team Charlie, deployed to what was thought to be a [[Covenant]] [[weapons]] cache. In reality the fire team was headed for a [[Flood Containment Facility]].
== Biography ==
Prior to being traumatized by the Flood infection of his Marine unit, this Marine was part of a Marine squad composed of [[Private]]s [[Bisenti]] and [[Manuel Mendoza|Mendoza]], and [[Private First Class|PFC]] [[Wallace A. Jenkins]] and led by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]].{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}} The squad was deployed into a swamp in search of a weapons cache under the control of the Covenant, later revealed to be a [[Flood containment facility]]. Once inside the facility, the squad met up with [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], along with Privates [[Kappus]] and [[Riley]] and ventured further into the facility. After entering a large hall, the squad was ambushed and attacked by a wave of [[Pod infector]]s. The Marine escaped the Flood infection by playing dead, though he also witnessed the death of almost his entire squad.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}} Shortly after the ambush, he fled and hid away from the Flood.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}}<ref name="theflood">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page ??''</ref>


He was inserted into the swamp by the [[Pelican]] ''[[Victor 933]]''<ref name=H:CE>[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref>, along with [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]], [[Bisenti|Private Bisenti]], [[Manuel Mendoza|Private Mendoza]], and [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Private Jenkins]]. The squad met up with Captain Keyes, along with Privates [[Kappus]] and [[Riley]], after discovering the remains of a dead [[Elite]]. After entering a large hall, the squad was ambushed and attacked by [[Infection Form|"small, squid like creatures"]]. This Marine witnessed the death of almost his entire unit, and fled the battle, hiding from the [[Flood]].<ref name=H:CE>[[343 Guilty Spark (level)]]</ref>
[[John-117]] encountered the Marine in the facility while in search of Captain Keyes.{{Ref/Reuse|H:CE}}{{Ref/Reuse|theflood}} John quickly disarmed the Marine after the Marine, now in a fear-crazed state, fired his [[M6D pistol]] at the sight of the Chief. The Spartan tried to comfort the Marine and urged him to return to the surface, but the Marine ignored him and crawled into a fetal position, whimpered, and then fell silent. The Marine then proceeded to shoot himself after John continued his search for Captain Keyes.<ref name="jaime">[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive25.pl?read=740720 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''According to Jaime...''] (Marty the Elder, aka [[Marty O'Donnell]]: ''"[According to Jaime] he shoots himself, and you just miss seeing him do it."'')</ref>


Long after the [[Flood]] had finished their massacre of [[Marines]] and Covenant alike, [[Spartan-117]] came across this Marine. The soldier was a wreck, firing at anything that moved with his [[M6D|M6D pistol]], and hollering about "monsters." In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', it is said that the [[John-117|Master Chief]] told him to leave the building, but the Marine ignored him, and crawled into a fetal position, whimpered, then fell silent. He also told the Chief to "find your own hiding place!" and claims to be able to "hear" [[Flood|them]] when the Chief approached. It is unknown what happened to the Marine after the encounter, thoug most likely he was killed bt flood.
== Lines ==
*"Stay back! Stay back, you're not turning me into one of those [[flood combat form|things]]!"
*"I'll blow your brains out! Get away from me!"
*"''Gaaaaahh''! ''Aaaaahh''! Don't touch me, you freaks, I won't be like you, I'll die first!"
*"Find your own hiding place, the monsters are everywhere!"
*"Play dead! That's what I did... played dead. They took the live ones... Oh, God, I can still hear them!"
*''(sob)'' "Monsters..."
*"Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhaaahhh..."
*"''Just leave me alone''!"
*"[[Avery Junior Johnson|Sarge]]? [[Manuel Mendoza|Mendoza]]? [[Bisenti]]? Oh, God... the things took them. Away, away, away, they went away... They're gone! Get it? ''Gone''!"
*"They won't get me! Oh God... oh God I don't want to be like them, please, please no, please nooo..."


== Trivia ==
*There was an idea for the paranoid Marine earlier in the development of the level [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]. He would have stayed alive initially, but when the player walked a distance away from him, there was supposed to be a loud bang. If the player returned, they would find him dead on the floor. This was revealed by [[Joseph Staten]] on the [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]] bonus disc.
*As an homage to this Marine in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the [[Suicidal Marine]] in ''Halo 3''{{'}}s [[Floodgate]] campaign level was voiced by the same person, and features similar mannerisms to the original.
*The Paranoid Marine is an example of an [[Ambient A.I.]]
*For the purposes of [[campaign scoring]] in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the Paranoid Marine is considered neither an enemy nor an ally. If the player kills the marine they will not receive points for killing an enemy, nor will they lose points for killing an ally. In the post-game the marine is listed as an enemy marine killed.
*At times, the Marine may occasionally be seen without his M6D Magnum, raising his hand to his head as if it were in his hand. Instead, the gun will be holstered on his hip.

*His fate is unknown, as the room he was in locks after the Chief comes back out. However, it is possible he was in the structure's "basement", as a body is found on a flaming platform, and a pistol lies next to him.
==List of appearances==
*The Marine may have been found by the second squad, but killed along the way and left behind.
*''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' {{1st}}
*If the player sticks the Marine with a [[Plasma Grenade]], he will stand up with his arms out at his sides like a cross.
*''[[Halo: The Flood]]''
*As an homage to this Marine in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the ''Halo 3'' Crazed Marine is voiced by the same person, and features similar mannerisms to the original. Found in [[Floodgate (Level)]], in the Flood-ravaged Command Center. Whether this Marine is intended to be the same character as his counterpart from the first game is unknown, though improbable.
*''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''
*In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Master Chief]] is actually shot by the Crazed Marine, but he immediately took the [[M6D]] from the Marine and tried to talk sense into him, before he crawled back into a fetal position.
*He can be killed with one shot by any weapon.
*Reloading sounds can be heard, but he doesn't appear to be reloading his pistol.
*He may hear him shooting after you leave him (but in the same room).
