Noble Six

SPARTAN-B312, better known by the call-sign Noble Six, was a SPARTAN-III Commando aligned with UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. B312 was incredibly effective on the battlefield, wiping out large groups of Insurgent Militia and earning the designation of Hyper-Lethal, one of only two SPARTAN soldiers to achieve such deadly potential. Six was also hand-selected to test pilot the UNSC's new Sabre starfighters. On Reach, after the SPARTAN Tholm was killed in action, B312 was transferred to take his place as the sixth member of Noble Team.

During the final weeks before Reach's eventual glassing, Noble Six partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on Reach along with the rest of Noble Team, including a counter-offensive operation to retake an ONI base, a night-time reconnaissance mission with Jun-A266 (where the two Spartans forged a temporary alliance with some local militia), and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and the neutralization of a Covenant tower. Later, his Sabre skills would be put to the test in a dogfight in space above Reach, where Noble was able to destroy a Covenant carrier, at the cost of their teammate, Jorge. This setback proved unimportant to the alien forces as more carriers immediately warped in from slipspace as Six crashed into the decimated city of New Alexandria. After saving as many civilians as possible, Six reunited with the Team despite their increasing losses, and continued to fight the Covenant.

Noble Six, along with the remaining members of Noble Team, proceeded to Sword Base and fought their way into the facility under heavy fire, only to have their course, and directives revised by an unknown UNSC AI.[18] Within the facility, they encountered Dr. Halsey once more, and were informed that Six had been chosen to courier a package, and to deliver it safely to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Using Pelicans as their mode of transportation, Noble Team was split into two; Jun-A266 escorted Dr. Halsey to CASTLE Base, while the others headed for the Autumn which, having undergone a refit in the shipyards of Aszod, was holding position ready to escape with the precious cargo now in Six's possession.

However, while in transit, they were ambushed by Banshees, damaging their Pelican and critically injuring Carter-A259. As a result, Noble Six and Emile-A239 were forced to proceed on foot, with Carter drawing fire to aid them. But, after encountering massive resistance from Covenant forces, they where eventually cornered by a Scarab, and only saved as Carter flew the now devastated Pelican directly into it, destroying the Scarab and sacrificing himself to save them; securing delivery of the package to the commander of the Autumn, Captain Jacob Keyes.

Later on, the Covenant assaulted the area and Emile was stabbed in the back with an energy sword and died soon after, but not before killing the elites who attacked him. Then, Six manned the Onager and stalled Covenant gunships from overwhelming the Autumn. During the most crucial phase of the evacuation, the Spartan destroyed an approaching CCS-class battlecruiser, allowing the Autumn to depart into space.

At last, the Covenant had disabled the last of Reach's defenses, and proceeded to glass the remainder of the planet. Six was among the last surviving UNSC soldiers left fighting the Covenant forces on the ground. In an incredible display of heroism, Six held off an entire army of Covenant single-handedly, including Wraith tanks and air support.

But the Covenant were relentless, and after countless hours of battle, an exhausted Six was eventually injured by plasma fire. After triumphantly taking on multiple Ultra and Zealot-class Sangheili in hand to hand combat, the Spartan was finally overwhelmed, disarmed and forced to the ground. Here, though mortally wounded, Six subdued a further four attackers, succumbing to death amongst a pile of slain enemies, at the hands of an Energy Dagger wielded by a Zealot. Six's helmet remained on Reach, even after the planet was glassed by the Covenant and after the planet was terraformed. In 2589, Catherine Halsey gave a eulogy, regretting that the Spartan did not live to see humanity's eventual triumph over the Covenant.
