SPARTAN-141 is one of the seven surviving Spartans in the UNSC Marine Corps' secret project to have SPARTAN-IIs of their own. He is one of the most secretive soldiers in the UNSC, but has no problem voicing his opinion when he needs to, even if the chain of command prevents him. Most of his and the other Marine Corps SPARTAN-IIs training was covered up and not much is known of his early life, save for he once knew SPARTAN-126 before they were drafted into the MC's "project".

[edit] History
SPARTAN-141's real name is unknown at this time, but it's rumored he was once called "Eric" by another SPARTAN-II. He was born and raised on Thermopylae Colony, one of the UNSC's most difficult colonies to teraform, due to the unpredictable Ion storms that raveged the planet. As a result, he ans the colony's other inhabitants learned to be able to fend for themselves or die. His father, George, was killed soon after he was born by a coworker, who mistakenly belived that George was having an affair with his wife. When several Marines came to their homestead's door to kidknap 141 for the Project in 2520, his mother wounded one of them with an M6 sidearm, but was detained after they successfuly took 141. She has not been seen since.
[edit] Project: MIST
141 and the 49 other SPARTAN-II canidates passed up by Dr. Cathrine Halsey were found and kidknappped by the Marine Corps for Project: MIST. After a rather snoopy Marine Intelligence officer uncovered the UNSC Navy's SPARTAN-II and MJOLNIR projects and seeing early test results preform impressivly, they wanted some Spartans of their own. Rounding up the canidates Halsey didn't use, due to budget limitations, the UNSC MC began work on their spartans. Their training regimen was brutal, uncaring and broke down all of the canidates physically and emotionally. One of the reasosns 141 and the other Spartans aren't called by their names at all is because the drill instructors told them that they no longer had names, that they must earn their Spartan number. Because Halsey had 150 canidates, she couldn't take them all. The Marines didn't have that problem with only 50. However, they needed access to all the things Halsey's Spartans had, so several discreet "payments" and "mutual agreements" were made to get samples of the tech and supplies needed. Like Halsey's Spartans, many were killed or disfigured after the augmentation drugs were injected. Only 7 survived the process. Graduating in 2530, their first assignment as Spartans was to eliminate Tim Kennedy, a known Rebel who had evaded the UNSC for 11 years. Even with the Covenant begining to glass several of the Outer Colonies, Kennedy was a problem for the UNSC. After eliminating Kennedy, the Spartans were regulated to Black Ops, similar to Colonel Anderson. Successful in every mission they were sent into, they were eventually deployed to fight Covenant soldiers. Most of their orgininal contact with the Covenant was during the Jericho VII Theater, when they were deployed alongside Master Chief and his Spartans.
Project: MIST was officaly disbanded in 2555, under ONI General Directive 457A;
[edit] Human-Covenant War
141, along with the rest of the 7 Spartans he grew up with in Project: MIST were sent into missions in dire need of intervention. Somethimes they were deployed alongside the Navy's SPARTAN-IIs, but maintained a safe distance away, lest their existance be revealed. However, during a battle on Spectre Prime, they were forced to cooperate with the other SPARTAN-IIs to eliminate what would have been an invading force in the Alpha Centauri system. After eliminating the entire force, their, along with the other SPARTAN-IIs, existance and several missions were released in 2547.
[edit] Operation: JUSTICE
After SPARTAN-126 was appointed leader of the 4-person "Black Team" in 2549, the MIST Spartans were assigned to Reach, as test subjects for Project: MJOLNIR. When Reach was attacked by the Covenant, most of them were able to get away, but SPARTANs 126 and 141 were left behind. After meeting up with some marines, they escaped on a Longsword bomber. They soon learnt of an important diplomat coming to the Reach disater site, named the Minor Prophet of Justice. They decided to eliminate the Prophet and hopefuly weaken the Covenant caste system to the point of fracture. Most of the marines died when they boarded the Prophet's carrier, but the Spartan's successfuly killed the Prophet. However, this only delayed what Justice had been relaying to the fleet: The Covenant had discovered Earth's location. The Spartans then used a Prowler from a damaged UNSC vessel to return to Earth.
[edit] The First and Second Battles of Earth
[edit] First Battle of Earth
After returning to Earth, SPARTANs 126 and 141 were extensivly debriefed. John-117, Sgt. Johnson and several other SPARTAN-IIs arrived soon after in the Gettysburg. John and the rest of the Navy's SPARTAN-IIs were always concidered more like cousins to Black Team than brothers ans sisters. They also didn't like the amount of publicity that John-117 got, just for doing what the rest of them did, day in, and day out. however, they keept these feelings to themselves. They had just finished a friendly wrestling match with each other when John was called up to Cairo Station to recive his new MJOLNIR Mk. VI armor. Half an hour later, the Covenant found them. With their Mk. V armor in shops for matanince, the combined SPARTANs were forced to improvise with ODST Body Suits. They did, however, eventually get MJOLNIR Mk. VI armor to use. After loading up on In Amber Clad, they were sent down to the surface to hold back the invasion force. The rest of the Spartans had evacuated all civilians and were safely occupying Voi. However, several hours later they were recalled to Crow's Nest, an underground UNSC resistance base, when the Covenant began orbital bombardment of North America and occupying the planet.
[edit] Second Battle of Earth
SPARTANs 141, 126 and 013 were redeployed in what remained of North America, to quell the Covenant Loyalist forces looking for a "holy relic", which, after hearing conciderable chatter from the Covenant battlenet, they belivied was the Ark, some Forerunner device on Earth. The plan called for 126 and 013 to distract the majority of the Loyalists while 141 snuck on board their battleship and detonate a micro-nuke. However, 141 was captured before he could detonate the nuke and was brought before a Brute Chieftan, to be executed. Meanwhile, SPARTANs 013 and 126 had successfuly eliminated the forces on the ground, when they were told, by the Chieftan himself, that he would kill 141 if they attempted to resue him. 013, disobeying a direct order from the higher ranking officer, 126, rammed a Phantom dropship into the battleship and created enough commotion to allow 141 to slip away, but 013 herself was caught and, as both UNSC and Covenant combatants watched on an unprecidented all-COM channel feed, was decapatated by the Chieftan. SPARTAN-126, taking advantage of everyone's silent intent of their COM channels, immedatly detonated the micro-nuke and vaporised the warship. He and 141 got away safely. However, they were shot down over the Florida Keys and were stranded until a Pelican from Crow's Nest could retrive them. During that time, they fought off waves of Covenant soldiers in gureilla warfare, untill they were overwhelmed. Once again, 141 was captured by a Chieftan, but this time was intentional, to allow 126 to kill him whith his attention drawn elsewhere. However, 141 was brutally beaten by the Jiralhanae and stabbed with a Sangheili Energy Sword, and his left arm was nearly severed. 126 rescued his comrade and the finaly achived pickup by Kilo 23, just before she was called to retrive John-117 after his orbital insertion. 141 was sent into surgery and would not be able to fight for several weeks. 126 was the last SPARTAN of Black Team able to fight the Covenant until the end of the Human-Covenant War.
[edit] Crucible
[edit] After the War
Shortly after the end of the Humam-Covenant War, 141 was deemed fit for duty once again, much to the surprise of 126. However, he had to wear a life support system built into his armor and a healing device for his still-severly wounded arm, but he hardly acknowleged their presence as more than a small inconvinence. He requested several weeks R&R and was granted permission to return to Thermopylae for his leave. However, other than a transmission that crypticly told UNSCDF headquarters that "They're gone...All of them...", nothing was heard for over 2 months. ONI acknowleged 126's close relationship with 141 and ordered him on a new mission, in colabaration with the UNSC Navy, to find 141, at any cost. 126 was puzzled by ONI's intrest with 141, but obliged. After no signs of his or anyone else's life signs on the planet, 126 and Lt. Cdr McLaie were attacked by Covenant forces and were forced to return to a UNSC ship in orbit and called for backup. 300 ships arrived, but over 1200 Covenant forces decended on the colony, and a hellish space battle ensued, duing which 126, McLaie, and a team of ODSTs fought thier way into a Forerunner structure and found 141 battling Sentnels. After rescuing 141, they raced back to the fleet in orbit and 141 pushed expressly on the notion of NOVA bombing Thermopylae. However, before they could launch the bomb, the planet changed, and its true nature was revaled; Thermopylae was actually a Forerunner Shield World similar to Onyx. After millinos of Sentinels vaporised the Covenant ships, they UNSC fleet was told to leave the system and never come back by some intlligence on the planet. On its way out, the ships laid warning buoies aroud the system, warning anyone who enters of "ancient forces at work".
[edit] Decent
141, in his debrifing, deatiled his entire story after sending the cryptic message. He has arrived at Thermopylae Colony and found there were no life signs. he found the makeshift hospital in the Mall and also found the Forerunner structure. Compleled by an inate curiosity, he decended below the planet's crust in the structure and found an entire Forerunner city inside, perfectly intact. After exploring for several weeks, he found a Sentinel and attempted to communicate with it. However, similar to the SPARTAN-IIIs on Onyx, he was classified as a threat and was therefore hunted, but he, with his better training over the SPARTAN-IIIs, was able to evade the Sentinels better. However, he was nearing the end of his resources and limits when 126 and his team showed up. He also saw what appered to be plans for something called "Omega 7". The captain of the U.N.S.C. Troy said they recived a transmission with Omega 7 in it. 141 barely recalls the plans and said they also referenced some intelligence hidden away since before the Halos were fired. However, here was no clear information.
[edit] The Kelmond Incident
[edit] ONI Biological Asset Recruitment
In March 2554, SPARTAN-141 was conducting a mission in former Covenant-controled space when his Pelican mysetriously "vanished" after entering the atmosphere of a planet. The UNSC Herald searched for hours before calling in several ONI operatives. After an entire week of SAR(Search And Rescue) operations, 141 was declared MIA. However, in reality, he had been snatched by ONI operatives, to be inducted into their Biological Assets program. Suffice it to say, whenever ONI needed a high-risk operation done, they called in their Biological and/or Technological Assets to complete the job. SPARTAN-141 became ONI Biological Asset 1458 in November 2554 and was assigned the job of conducting "missions" with a man named Jared H. Kelmond. Kelmond was suspected to be a double agent in ONI for the remnants of the United Rebel Front, relaying them classified information and executing ONI agents.
[edit] The Breadcrumbs
141 helped Kelmond with his "missions" until July 2555, when he was instructed by ONI Section 0 to kill Kelmond. However, Kelmond had already known that 141 was going to do so, and he escaped 141 by implanting a neurotoxin in 141's armor, effectivly paralysing him for days. During that time, Kelmond began taunting ONI by killing even more of their operatives, mostly those entrenched in covert-ops. 141 began following him, as per ONI's orders, but Kelmond sesed this and began leaving notes to the SPARTAN about how the UNSC and ONI was using him like a puppet for their own purposes, that he was nothing more than an expendable piece of technology than a human being. After a while, Kelmond's notes began clicking in 141's head, and he realsied that Kelmond was right.
[edit] The Confrontation
After 141 asked Kelmond to meet him, Kelmond began offering 141 the chance to travel with him, getting revenge on those who poisoned the civilian's opinions and thoughts. 141 was about to accept when ONI activated a failsafe propgram inbedded in 141's neural implants, causing him to unquestionably follow their orders. While 141's mind watched, the failsafe program allowed ONI to make his body fight Kelmond. However, Kelmond surprised both ONI and 141 when he was able to fight back, and even begin to defeat 141.
Kelmond began telling 141 about how this was a prime example of the UNSC treating him like hardware, not a sencient being. 141 finally fought off ONI's control and was about to accept Kelmond's ideals, when he realised that Kelmond would just do the same. 141 concluded that he would rather fight for his race than betray that which he had fought so hard to protect. 141 then killed Kelmond, snapping his neck with a force and anger that 141 surprised himself with.
[edit] SPARTAN Programs Disbanded
Shortly after that, in October 2555, ONI reported that they had "found" SPARTAN-141 and he was released back to active duty after healing from his wounds. However, 141's sense of duty had been crushed and could never heal. On October 19th, 2555, ONI dissolved the SPARTAN Programs and erased all information regarding 141's time as an ONI Bilogical Asset.
[edit] Retrival
After the SPARTAN Programs' dissbandment, 141 did not appear in any noticable history until 2558, when he and 126 reported to ONI AR&DB-E for Armor upgrades.

[edit] Personality
141's personality could be summed up in one word: Complex. He rarely opens up to anyone, even his SPARTAN brothers and sisters and maintains that "it's just not important". He prefers to think of himself as average, noting that he only does something amazing or heroic when no one is looking. Indeed, most of his most triumphant moments were during solo missions. He tends to have a resentment towards the NavSpecwar SPARTAN-IIs, due to the enourmous amount of publicity they recive. He feels that "Black Team earned as much, maybe more, than John-117 or the rest of the NSW SPARTANs, but he's publisised more, just because he happened to have destroyed a giant ring."
[edit] Combat
His style of combat is a mix betrween CQB, Marksman and hand-to-hand conflicts. He prefers mid-range weapons, such as the BR55HB-SR and the XMR-5, but when push comes to shove, he exells with automatic weapons like the MA5C ICWS. His personal choice is the BR55HB-AR hand made for him by Phade Technology Industry. He has commented regularly on his low marks in long-range weapons, and tends to stay away from sniper-type weapons, usually letting SPARTAN-013, Black Team's resident sniper, deal with the kilometer-away enemies.

141 has a multitude of weapons and firearms he uses. He collects many weapons, both Human and Covenant weapons and modifies them when not on assignment or training.
