Name: Marcus Theodore Anders III<br/>Age: 23<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Description: Height: 6'7 (out of Armor) 7'4 (in armor), Hair color: Black, Eye color: Hazel, Weight out of armor: 280, Weight in armor: 980, Armor color: Crimson, complexion: Pale, Designation number: 511<br/>Weapons: Keep it to a minimum. Two weapons and maybe 4 grenades, M90 Tactical Shotgun, M19 SSm Jackhammer Rocket Launcher, 4 fragmentation Grenades<br/>Background: Typical of the ONI SPARTAN program Marcus was recruited into the project at 6 years old being replaced by a flash clone. Marcus then attended the training program and augmentation. He made 2 great friends Amelia and Jeremy. After augmentation both were crippled physically but were still mentally functioning and were thus put onto the R&D team for the SPARTAN program. when he was 16 he landed a training op on the planet Sidewinder. his squad leader SPARTAN number 499, and his subbordinates 623, 431, and 333 were also stationed there. Everything ran smoothely for the first 3 months of the mission but then went down hill. 333 fell into freezing water and died of hypothermia not even half an hour later while the others were attacked by a renagade faction. 431 was taken out in combat when one of them tried to become a kamikaze-bomber. 499 lost his morale after losing half of his subbordinates. in his grief and shame he asked 623 to kill him because he didn't deserve to live. She was stunned at his request and couldn't bring herself to do it so Marcus took the gun and pulled the trigger for him. 623 refused to talk to him after that. the two remaining Spartans remained on sidewinder for almost 8 years. he was transferred from sidewinder for this new mission.<br/><br/>Personality: Marcus is a laid back sort of guy likes to relax and take his time about things. he's reliable in a pinch though and is good at what he does. He's a demolitions expert thus he's good with explosives. He can be a bit of a cynical prick at times too.
