However, even from a young age, John probably possessed pretty good vision already. When Dr. Halsey first approached him and tested him by having him guess what side a coin would land on, he was able to see where it would land correctly every time.
As super soldiers, Spartans are not allowed to really grow out their hair. But it's interesting for fans of Halo to note that John has brown hair. We never really get to see Master Chief's head, so his hair color has been a bit of a mystery. But thanks to the books and the animated film, The Fall of Reach, missing pieces of information regarding Chief's appearance have come to light. Mjolnir armor is truly one of the most marvelous creations in the Halo universe.
The armor has a network that connects with the neural implants of the Spartan wearing it. What that means is that any movement that Master Chief thinks of doing is automatically sent to the armor, even before he moves anything.
It's almost as if the armor is able to read his mind and move before he actually moves his own arm. Spartans suffer from a reduced sex drive thanks to the augmentations that Dr. Catherine Halsey forced upon them when they were young. This helps them become more focused soldiers. It also eliminates potential distractions to a Spartan's mission. Master Chief is not the only Spartan who underwent this process.
When going into a cryo-pod in the Halo universe, everyone has to remove their clothes because otherwise, numerous blisters arise from the ice crystals that form underneath clothing and on the skin. In the first Halo game, Master Chief was awoken from cryo-sleep and he was seen wearing his Mjolnir armor. That means he was covered in painful blisters. In Eric Nylund's book, The Flood , it mentions how the Chief was in quite a large amount of pain when he stepped out of his cryo-pod.
If you completed the Halo 4 campaign on the Legendary difficulty setting, you were treated to a quick glimpse of the Master Chief's face. Tillson to give Cortana access to the station's supply manifest in order to search for a means of destroying the Composer.
Cortana managed to find a nuclear warhead on the station, and the Master Chief decided that it was the only way the Didact could possibly be stopped from taking the Composer.
Telling Tillson this caused her great distress, as she had dedicated herself to researching the Composer for a very long time. However, she still gave the Spartan her word that she would make sure the warheads were primed for a remote detonation.
Apologizing, John once again asked for Tillson to begin the evacuation. When Tillson began this evacuation, the first evacuation shuttle was shot down by the Covenant.
Cortana realized that she and John would be able to program the station's defenses to provide cover for the evacuation. Fighting his way to the defense console, Cortana's rampant outbursts continued to worsen. While Tillson's team rigged the warhead, Cortana programmed the defenses, succeeding to make them target the Covenant.
The Spartan then went to rendezvous with Dr. Tillson, but was hindered by the Composer's location being compromised. Fending enemies off once more, the Chief told Dr. Tillson that, ready or not, he needed the weapon then. On his next broadcast to her, he received no response, and so headed back to the elevator platform to get to a cargo bay, hopefully to find the nuke and Dr.
An immense energy wave hit the elevator in mid-transport, stopping it. Mantle's Approach then pulled the Composer away from Ivanoff Station with ease. John tried to focus Cortana on finding Dr Tillson. Cortana researched Tillson's career files, stating her full name Sandra K.
Tillson , and that she was a student at Pegasi Institute where she obtained a doctorate in Archaeology. Cortana soon found her on another deck in the station and confirmed her bio signature was stable. The elevator continued on its course and John exited it to find Tillson and a large crowd of distressed scientists. Telling her that the Didact stole the Composer, he inserted Cortana into the system and asked to check the flight catalog for anything that can carry a payload.
Tillson in confusion asks the Chief how the Didact moved the Composer, then, trembling, told him "Wait He asked Cortana to activate the station's defenses, but they did not respond. Cortana continued to search through the catalog but found nothing. Unable to help, Cortana watched as the Composer composed every member of the science team at once, only knocking John unconscious because of his immunity to the weapon.
An unspecified amount of time passed before John awakened and saw Cortana, distraught, sitting at the console. She asked him if he was okay and, crying, said she could hear what was left of the scientists after monitoring the data pulse. The Spartan clearly attempted to avoid emotional conversation, and stoically stated that they needed to move. Cortana sadly said that the scientists were gone, to which John dutifully added that more would follow if the Didact reached Earth.
He told her that he wouldn't let that happen. She ignored his stubborn optimism and desperately informed him that the new AI wouldn't be her. John made his way to the hangar, entering the pilot seat of the Broadsword, which was being armed with the warhead.
He then set off from Ivanoff Station in pursuit of the Didact. Cortana stated a plan of boarding the ship and finding the bridge when the Didact began to prepare for another slipspace jump. She warned him that the Broadsword's shields were not rated for slipspace, but John replied that the Didact's were, before boosting forward to take refuge inside his enemy's shielding.
The Spartan then started to fly along the outer hull of the Didact's ship, toward the Composer, dodging pieces of the ship as they moved and activated defenses attempting to destroy him. During this time, the Didact broadcasted a signal, expressing his surprise and dismay at how John wasn't composed and that such inoculation should not have been possible.
Cortana explained that the Didact was with the Composer and that they could destroy both of them at once. John continued to fly through the outer hull of the ship until Cortana told him that they were coming out of slipspace. Communications from Earth warned them of the fleet's detection of the unknown ship. Thomas Lasky, however, picked up John's transmission.
Lasky had the orbiting fleet engage the Didact and the Composer. The Spartan managed to fight through the remainder of the outer hull and located the Composer and the Didact. Attempting to gain access to the Composer, Master Chief was cut off from an opening to it. John informed Lasky of this, to which he recommended deactivating the shields so Infinity could make another opening. John proceeded to destroy the shield and weapon generators. With the defenses down, the Infinity moved into position, using its MAC cannon to shear a path into the Didact's ship and granting John an entrance.
John entered the ship, and, in an attempt to stop him, the Didact caused the pathway to close down on the Broadsword. John expertly maneuvered his fighter through the compressing pathway until it shrank to a narrow strip of white light, making the Broadsword crash. He stepped away from the destroyed hull of his Broadsword, somehow seemingly unscathed, Cortana queried John as to what his next move was.
He procured the nuclear warhead and magnetically locked it to his armor, designating it as "Plan B. Eventually the duo reached the central control area of the Composer. The Chief then used a gravity lift to thrust himself across a void, reaching the lower floors of the control center.
John accessed a terminal to try to allow Cortana to deactivate the shield the Didact deployed to protect the Composer.
Cortana told him to insert her into a few terminals around the Composer so that she may deactivate the shielding around it. After fighting his way to the first generator Cortana revealed that she was going to do something that he was not going to like. Her holographic form tore into multiple copies as she ejected her rampant personality spikes into the system, in order to overwhelm and disable the shielding under the stress of the sheer amount of multiplying rampant copies.
Repeating this process, John moved to engage the Didact, who declared that he John had failed, firing the Composer onto Earth and Composing the population of New Phoenix.
John went to retrieve Cortana but the Didact disintegrated the terminal, launching a desperate John backwards. John proceeded through more waves of Prometheans Knights, whilst Cortana sent a message of text to his HUD to show that she had survived within the systems of the Mantle's Approach.
He began to hear multiple strange voices from the rampant personality spikes of Cortana proclaiming their intent always to take care of him. Locating a gravity lift, the Spartan was elevated to a light bridge directly connected to the Composer.
He caught sight of the Didact within the orange aura above the Composer, but his enemy quickly vanished, sensing his presence. Vocally challenging John, the Forerunner claimed that the man had persisted too long offering him the opportunity to have his "resolution.
Regaining his footing, John became torn between his options of charging the Didact or retrieving the warhead. He ran for the warhead but was stopped by the Didact who lifted and held him over the slipspace portal that was powering the Composer, claiming John was misguided and that humanity's imprisonment in the Composer would be a kindness. The Didact began to close his fist, exerting a crushing force on John and causing him to groan in what would be extreme pain even for a Spartan-II.
Before he could drop John into the abyss, the Didact was surrounded by Cortana's rampant personality spikes who emerge from the light bridge. After a short confrontation with the Didact, Cortana attacked the Didact and bound him by the arms to the bridge by using her hardlight forms. John was released and crashed chest-first onto the edge of the light bridge, barely able to grab onto the ledge, with the swirling orange abyss beneath him. He climbed up the bridge and swiftly charged the Didact, plunging a Pulse Grenade into his armor.
The Didact, however, broke free from Cortana's bonds and pushed him away, sending him sliding across the bridge. Freeing his other arm, the Didact began to slowly lift John into the air, with the Spartan exerting sounds of desperation and pain, preparing for an almost imminent demise. The grenade detonated, causing the Didact to lose focus, become seriously injured and drop John, stumbling off the bridge into the slipspace rupture below.
Out of time, John painfully crawled towards the warhead, frequently crashing onto the light bridge. He prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. Taking one final look up at Earth, John yelled in defiance to his enemy and smashed his hand on the tip of the warhead, detonating the nuclear weapon.
John awakened in a strange area, surrounded by hardlight. He called Cortana's name. John received no reply, and began to look around when a blue light drew his attention. A now human-sized Cortana stepped out of a coding circle around them and slowly approached him. John asked the AI how to leave, but Cortana said that she wouldn't be coming with him this time.
Stubbornly refusing to believe this, the Spartan ordered that they go together, and, with his voice quivering, told her, "I am not leaving you here. She sighed and emotionally revealed that she had been waiting to be able to touch him.
The Chief reminded Cortana that it was his job to protect her; however, she told him that it was their job to look after each other—and that they had done so. After briefly touching John, she then began to walk away. He begged for her to wait. Disappearing into the data-circle and leaving behind a devastated John, Cortana was gone.
The hardlight aura around him flickered and faded and the debris of Mantle's Approach fell around him. Pelican Nine-Sixer came across John drifting in space and rescued him, taking him to the Infinity where he was greeted by its crew. A brief conversation with Lasky on the observation deck of the Infinity showed the now lonely soldier that he felt soldiers and people were two different things—and Lasky informed him that they were not.
Suddenly John came to a realization about himself. Being brought up as a killing machine had distanced him from being a human, and he now saw that he had distanced himself from almost every other person he had ever known. He recalled what Cortana had asked him earlier, about who out of the duo was the real machine, and finally he found himself an answer: it was him. He proceeded to an armor removal station where a team of scientists removed his armor, whilst the other Spartan-IVs and personnel looked on in respect and admiration.
When the debriefing concluded, Lord Hood spoke with John, apologizing for the lack of professionalism during the debriefing. He then requested the Chief's help in advising a team. He then showed John audio logs from a science team on Installation 03 escorted by Spartan Team Black , attacked by creatures John believed were Prometheans.
This compelled John to request to join the team at Installation Despite Hood's reservations that he take some time to rest, John firmly stated that the Prometheans should be confined to Requiem and that it's best that he see them if they're running wild.
John, at 46 years of age, with his eye revealed after the Didact cracked his visor. John soon joined Blue Team, composed of his old friends, Frederic , Kelly , and Linda , who were surprised to see him. Arriving at Installation 03 on July 26, the Spartans came to Team Black's last known coordinates and find a Promethean Crawler footprint in the ground.
They then found the science camp, finding all the scientists and Team Black deceased. John then suspected that something more powerful than Crawlers did this. Subsequently, they were ambushed by Promethean Knights but they eliminated them with ease. The Spartans then retrace the Crawler tracks back to the hole where the Composer was uncovered. They then enter a tunnel and find the Composer's Abyss. Shortly after the Ur-Didact's defeat and the destruction of the Composer's Abyss, John was ordered by Lord Hood to have a break from military operations with Blue Team.
Instead of taking the orders, John led Blue Team on countless military operations when needed, drawing speculation of his mental state from ONI officials. At some point in , Richard Sekibo , the Outer Colonies Ambassador had finally scheduled a long-awaited peace talk between human and alien delegates. Just as the peace talks were coming to a close, John apparently attacked the embassy where the event was being held in and killed nineteen human security guards.
The alien delegates were escorted away by John to safety. John also abducted Sekibo, whose dead body was found in a nearby field the next day. It is later revealed that Blue Team and the Chief had learned of a plot against Sekibo, prompting their arrival at the delegation.
The Master Chief then escorted the Sangheili delegates to safety, along with a mortally wounded Richard Sekibo. The Chief killed nine Sapien Sunrise infiltrators but ten of Sekibo's security detail were killed, along with three Sangheili guards. Although fighting the Covenant isn't abnormal, John's own team has been running on continuous missions and there's been genuine concern amongst the Spartans about him. However, John insists he's okay and lead the team into the Argent Moon.
It was while fighting a Hunter that John got separated from his team, falling into the lower decks of the ship. During that time, he had a vision of Cortana within a cave and saw Cortana. The A.
When John came to his senses, Blue Team regrouped with him to retake the ship. Unfortunately, more Covenant forces arrived and John decided to scuttle the ship.
Halsey, and returned to Infinity. Blue Team set the ship's reactor core to a time-controlled detonation and reported to the Infinity that he intends to head to Merdian to investigate a lead about Cortana. To everyone's surprise, Infinity replied that another team will handle the matter and wants Blue Team to return. Finding the whole matter suspicious, John disobeyed his return order and decided to proceed heading to Meridian.
John planned to do this himself without getting the rest of his team involved, but their loyalties to John motivated the rest of Blue Team to join him. The team boarded a Winter-class Prowler and left as Argent Moon exploded. The ship cloaked and headed to Meridian.
Eventually, John and Blue Team came to the Forerunner world of Genesis , with Osiris in close pursuit and after fighting armies of Promethean forces, mostly Knights and Soldiers , and eventually, the Warden Eternal , found Cortana.
John attempted to talk her out of it, but was imprisoned in a Cryptum with the rest of Blue Team. Osiris, realizing that Cortana was a bigger concern than their previous mission, rescued Blue Team and escaped Genesis, eventually fleeing to the Elite homeworld of Sanghelios , under the Arbiter's protection.
The personality of John is explored much more deeply in the books than the games. This is in order that players can more easily project their own personalities onto John As a child, John strove to win at any situation, at all costs. This seems to have been a part of his character even prior to his conscription to the SPARTAN Program, as he pushed himself to win at any game he played, including chess, gravball or King of the Hill.
John is tenacious to complete any mission at hand, and often disregards his personal safety in order to win. Indeed, he has often emerged victorious from situations many would consider impossible. As Chief and Cortana escape the ring they helped destroy, the camera pans away from the cockpit just as Chief removes his helmet for the first time.
Players don't see anything, and he's fully suited up by the time of his awards ceremony on Earth in the sequel. Johnson even ribs the main hero about it, asking him why he didn't wear something nice. Of course, John's decision was a wise one, as the Covenant immediately invade Earth to begin the events of Halo 2. Those willing to go beyond the games will find plenty of descriptions and images of John before he was conscripted into the Spartan program.
Growing up on the colony world of Eridanus II, John had brown hair and freckles as a child. He was also a head taller than his classmates when he was six, which made him stand out to Dr. While shared information and footage is at a bare minimum right now, information has been revealed regarding some shake-ups for equipment, introducing a new Bulldog weapon and the Grappleshot. More information on Halo Infinite 's launch is likely to appear in the near future.
Of course, Microsoft will likely take the opportunity to show off aspects of the game prior to that on its own social media channels and website, so fans are encouraged to stay tuned. While everyone knows about the dangerous Balrog, what happened in the mines leading up to the arrival of the fellowship?
