'''Tarkov''' | '''Tarkov''' is an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] assigned to the [[19th Shock Troops Battalion|19th Battalion]] of the [[105th Shock Troops Division]] who participated in the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="The Life">'''The Life'''</ref> | ||
==Biography== | |||
===Enlistment=== | |||
At some point during the Human-Covenant War, [[Staff Sergeant]] [[K. Stark]] of the 19th Battalion, an acquaintance or relative of Tarkov, was [[killed in action]]. Tarkov attended Stark's funeral and afterward volunteered to be an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He then went through a series of brutal training exercises, including live ammunition combat drills and crawls through mud to prepare him for combat. Tarkov was then assigned to the 19th Battalion.{{Ref/Reuse|The Life}} | |||
===Combat=== | |||
During one of his first combat deployments, Tarkov [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle#Re-entry|dropped]] onto an unknown planet amongst other members of his [[battalion]] and immediately engaged [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces. Several [[lance]]s of [[Jiralhanae]] soldiers were present along with Covenant style tank traps at the landing zone, with multiple [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] providing close air support. | |||
A [[Jiralhanae Minor]] struck Tarkov while the latter was moving up the line, knocking off his helmet and inflicting deep gashes in his face, simultaneously throwing him into a mud puddle. Tarkov vainly fired his pistol at the Brute as it moved forward to make the killing blow. However, a severely damaged Banshee crashed into the Brute's back, killing it and saving Tarkov's life. | |||
Years later, Tarkov, now a battle-hardened veteran whose gashes had turned into scars, led four other ODSTs in a field burial for a fallen comrade slipping an ODST banner under his armor. As plasma fire erupted and artillery detonated in the distance, the ODSTs put on their helmets and moved out.{{Ref/Reuse|The Life}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Tarkov's surname, as well as the fact that Stark's funeral detail and Tarkov's trainers spoke [[Hungarian]], may suggest that Tarkov is a native of [[Reach]]. This is likely, as many of Reach's early settlers were from Eastern Europe, particularly Hungary, which influenced the names of many locations and even animal species on the planet. | |||
In 2022, Mega Construx released a Halo building set called “ODST Hive Exterminators” based on concept art for Halo 3: ODST. The building set features Tarkov as the team leader of a four man ODST squad tasked with eliminating a drone hive. (This is Tarkov’s first appearance in any Halo media since his first and previously only appearance in the 2009 trailer ‘We are ODST’/‘The Life’). The building set features Tarkov wearing a standard ODST armor set with a Mustard Yellow color scheme accurately detailed to his appearance at the end of the live action trailer. Along with three unnamed squad members (2 male, 1 female) their armor is mash ups of preexisting armor piece pulled from various members of Alpha Nine each in a new color scheme. | |||
